The Privacy Concern with SMS-based Trackers
Axio automatically tracks your transactions by scanning your SMS inbox. While convenient, this requires giving the app full reading permissions to all your text messages. This means personal conversations, bank OTPs, and private messages are accessible. In a world where data leaks are common, sharing your SMS inbox is a significant privacy risk.

You are in complete control: you only track what you choose to log. With our 3-second rapid entry and automated recurring transaction logs, manual budgeting is faster and safer than ever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should I choose a manual expense tracker over Axio?
Manual tracking gives you complete control and ensures privacy. Axio reads your personal SMS messages to automate tracking, which exposes your private data. TrackMyRupee does not require any SMS permissions, keeping your financial life completely secure.
Q: Is manual logging time-consuming compared to Axio's auto-tracking?
Not at all. With our rapid 3-second logging and automatic recurring transactions (like rent, subscriptions, and monthly SIPs), most users spend less than 30 seconds a day managing their budget.
Q: Can I import my existing data if I switch?
Yes! TrackMyRupee supports importing your transactions via standard Excel and CSV files. You can export your data from your bank or Axio and upload it directly to get started instantly.
