About the app
Batwa - Auto Expense Tracker
Batwa - Auto Expense Tracker is a personal finance app for Pakistan that records your spending automatically. It reads the transaction alerts your bank sends by SMS, the PDF bank statements you import and, if you choose, bank emails in your Gmail, and turns them into one list of transactions with categories, budgets and reports. All of this reading happens on your phone. You never give Batwa your bank login, password or OTP.
- Bank SMS alerts (Android): every payment alert becomes a transaction, with no typing.
- Bank statements: import a PDF statement to add months of history. It is read on your phone; the file is never sent to Batwa.
- Bank emails (optional beta): alerts and statements your bank emails you are added the same way.
- Budgets and sharing: personal budgets, shared budgets with family and bill splitting with friends.
- Backup: optional backup to your own Google Drive.
Why Batwa asks for Google access
Google access is optional, and Batwa asks only when you turn on a feature that needs it:
- Sign in with Google creates your Batwa account from your name and email address, so friends can find you for shared budgets and bill splitting.
- Google Drive backup saves your Batwa backup in a hidden app folder in your own Drive, and, if you turn it on, the photos you attach to transactions.
- Email import installs a small script, "Batwa Email Sync", in your own Google account. Batwa asks only for permission to create and update that script. The script reads only emails from the bank senders you choose, read-only, and hands them straight to the Batwa app on your phone. Your emails are not sent to Batwa's servers. See the email setup guide.
Batwa never sees your Google password, never sells your data and never uses it for ads. Every permission, and how to remove it, is listed in the Privacy Policy.
