• Pattern-based transaction extraction - no AI needed for parsing
• Optional AI chat uses on-device Qwen 2.5 model (Apache 2.0 licensed)
• SMS permission is read-only - we never send messages
• No user accounts or cloud sync required
• Open source - audit the code yourself on GitHub
• Zero data collection or tracking

How It Works:
