Safe to spend today
India · Android

Your bank already tells you. ControlExpense listens.

Every debit, card swipe, UPI payment and salary credit your bank texts you becomes a ledger entry with the right account and payment method. On day one, ControlExpense can read back up to 12 months of alerts.

Everywhere

Type it like a note.

“coffee 4.50 card”, “kal petrol 1.5k”. The log bar reads short notes in English, Hindi and Hinglish, and shows what it understood before anything is saved.

99 languages

Or just say it, in your language.

Speak an expense and ControlExpense reads it back to you. With the optional offline model, it understands 99 languages without internet.

The Pace Rosette

Your month, read at a glance.

The full circle is this month's plan, read clockwise from 12. Dense linework is money still available; what you've spent thins to dashes. The gold notch is today. Try it:

Private by design

Your finances stay on your phone.

Sign in once, then it works offline. No ads. No analytics. If you turn on sync, your ledger is locked on your phone before it leaves, with a key we never see.

Encrypted on the phone

Your ledger lives in an encrypted database, behind an optional PIN or fingerprint lock.

SMS text never uploaded

Bank messages are read on the phone. Only the amount, account and method are kept.

Sync we can't read

End-to-end encrypted. Our server stores scrambled records and nothing it can open.
