Salary on the 1st. Gone by the 20th.
Where did it go?

Coffee ₹250. Blinkit ₹600. Zomato ₹400. One "small" order after another. Arthasutra shows you exactly where your money goes — and gives you one honest number to live by each day.

FEATURES

Everything happens automatically.

Today's limit

One number, updated every day. Spend less today and tomorrow's limit goes up.

"₹216 at bakery · ₹1,157 left today." Plus a morning limit and a night summary.

Auto categories

Food, travel, bills, shopping — sorted for you, and it learns from every fix.

Month calendar

Green and red days at a glance, with a streak for every day under budget.

Bill reminders

Card and EMI dues spotted from SMS, reminded before the due date, closed when paid.

Money between you and family isn't counted as spending — and loans are tracked till they're returned.

Questions

Why does it need SMS permission?

Your bank already sends an SMS for every payment. Arthasutra reads those messages on your phone to track spending automatically — no bank login needed.

Which banks work?

Tested with SBI, HDFC, Kotak, Axis, AU and SBM, plus UPI messages. More banks are added as we test them.

Is my data safe?

Everything stays on your phone. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Is it free?

Yes — no ads and no subscription.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet — iPhones don't let apps read SMS. Arthasutra is Android only for now.

How do I delete my data?

Uninstall the app, or go to Settings › Apps › Arthasutra › Clear data. Nothing remains anywhere else.
