Three steps to total clarity
Aware does the work you used to avoid. No manual entry, no open tabs, no guilt.
-
Grant SMS permission once
Tap allow when Aware asks to read messages. That's it. The app reads only from MTN MoMo and Airtel Money senders β nothing else. Your conversations stay private.
-
Watch transactions appear instantly
The moment an SMS arrives from MoMo or Airtel, Aware reads it, parses the amount and recipient, and adds it to your ledger. No receipt to scan, no form to fill.
-
See exactly where it went
Food, transport, airtime, bills, loans, income β automatically categorised. Weekly insights show you patterns. Budget bars show you limits. No surprises at month end.
The ledger you never kept
Six capabilities that replace the end-of-month panic with a daily habit of knowing.
Automatic tracking
Transactions appear the instant the SMS arrives. No receipts to keep, no app to open, nothing to type.
Smart categories
Food, transport, airtime, bills, loans and income β sorted by who you paid, not by what you remember.
Cash, captured
Add cash expenses in two taps. No account required. Your shillings count too.
Weekly insights
Every Sunday, a clear picture of the week: income, spending, top category, and change from last week.
Budget bars
Set a monthly limit per category. The bar turns amber at 80%, red at 100%. Know before you overspend.
Works offline
No cloud, no sync, no internet needed. Your data lives on your phone β always accessible, always private.
Precision-built for mobile money
Every pixel earns its place. Designed for clarity on a Tecno or Infinix screen in Kampala.
Nothing leaves your phone
Aware is local-first. It reads two types of SMS messages and stores everything in an encrypted database on your device. We have no servers that hold your data.
