Hisab (हिसाब) turns the statements you already download into a clear picture of your money — without your data ever leaving your phone. Import transaction exports from Google Pay, Paytm, or BHIM, and bank statements from HDFC Bank or IDFC FIRST Bank (PDF, XLSX, XLS, or TXT — password-protected PDFs supported), plus PDF statements from many other Indian banks that print a running balance. Hisab reads them on your phone and imports a statement only when every running balance adds up to the paisa, then builds your personal bahi-khata: • MONTHLY BUCKETS — every statement lights up the months it covers; a yearly statement fills twelve at once. See at a glance which months still await which statement. • RECONCILIATION — every app payment is matched against your bank statement by UPI reference. Instantly see which payments the bank confirms, which are missing, and what you spent outside the apps. • BANK ALERTS, AS THEY ARRIVE — set up a Shortcuts automation once and Hisab reads your bank and UPI alert SMS and emails on your phone. Alerts with a bank reference go straight into your ledger; the rest wait for you to categorise. • NO DOUBLE COUNTING — re-import a statement, import overlapping periods, or the same statement in two formats: transaction identity guarantees zero duplicates. Bank rows matched to app payments count once. Transfers between your own accounts are excluded automatically. • ANALYTICS — monthly spend, income and net, six-month trend, category breakdown with editable rules, top merchants, and insights on trends, recurring payments and unusual charges. Amounts in proper Indian notation (₹1,23,456.78). • PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE — no account, no network access, no analytics, no tracking. Your financial data stays in the app's private storage on your device. The entire app is open source (Apache-2.0). Made for India's statement formats. If a statement still can't be read, request the format from inside the app — or contribute a parser on GitHub.
