Pesa Radar turns the M-PESA and bank SMS alerts already on your phone into clear groups, trends and insights. No manual entry, and no internet needed.
Messages are read, parsed and analysed on your phone. No connection needed.
Your transactions are stored in the app on your device.
Back up to the cloud only if you choose to, and restore on a new phone.
Made around M-PESA and Kenyan bank SMS formats, in Kenya shillings.
Your SMS inbox already holds your whole money history. It's just buried in hundreds of near-identical confirmations. Pesa Radar doesn't ask you to set budgets or log expenses. It reads the messages you already get and shows you who you pay most, which merchants keep appearing, and what changed this week.
Set up once. After that, Pesa Radar quietly keeps up with every new message.
Pesa Radar asks for permission to read your messages and explains why. You can also choose whether to turn on notifications.
It recognises messages from M-PESA and supported banks, and ignores everything else.
Payments are grouped under each person, till or business, with duplicates removed.
Browse your dashboard, weekly trends and relationship history, and read your insight feed.
Pesa Radar only reads. It can't send money, and it never asks for your M-PESA PIN.
Everything is built around one idea: turning a pile of confirmations into something you can understand at a glance.
Scans your existing messages and picks up new ones as they arrive. Nothing to type in.
Variations of the same name are merged, and repeated messages are never counted twice.
Search, sort, and filter by date, amount or source. Pin the groups that matter and hide the ones that don't.
Tap any person or business to see totals, a timeline, monthly trends, payment rhythm and typical amounts.
Compare weeks, see your top recipients, and spot the times of day when money moves.
Morning briefs, daily reviews, weekly reports and spending-spike alerts, with quiet hours respected.
Illustrative screens with sample data.
Calculated on your phone from your own transactions. Straightforward arithmetic, not guesswork. Examples below.
"Yesterday you sent KSh 1,350. Most of it went to Mama Mboga."
"Boda spending is higher than a usual week."
"You paid 14 people and businesses this week. 3 were new."
Pesa Radar does its work on your device. The cloud only comes into play if you decide to back up. We don't sell your data.
Reading, grouping, trends and insights all run on your phone with no connection.
Sign in and back up to the cloud to protect your history, then restore it on a new phone.
Only messages from recognised senders are processed. Your personal chats are ignored.
Pesa Radar understands the SMS formats of M-PESA and several Kenyan banks.
SMS formats can change without notice. If a message can't be read reliably, Pesa Radar skips it rather than guessing. Missing your bank? Tell us.
Free on Google Play for Android phones in Kenya.
