About PesaSense - M-Pesa SMS Tracker
Know where every shilling goes! PesaSense is an automated M-Pesa expense tracker, budget manager, and financial planner built specifically for Kenya.
PesaSense automatically reads your M-Pesa SMS notifications and transforms them into clear spending reports and budget insights, 100% offline and privately on your phone.
AUTOMATIC M-PESA EXPENSE TRACKING
No manual data entry required. PesaSense instantly captures every M-Pesa transaction:
• Sent & Received Money
• Till Payments & Paybills
• Withdrawals, Deposits & Airtime Purchases
• M-Pesa Transaction Fees & Reversals
100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE
• No account or sign-up required
• Zero cloud syncing: your financial data never leaves your device
• Reads ONLY M-Pesa SMS (Sender ID: MPESA)
• Fingerprint & Face Unlock support for extra security
38 KENYAN-SPECIFIC SPENDING CATEGORIES
Organise your money with categories tailored for Kenya:
• Daily Needs: Food & Groceries, Transport, Utilities, Fuel
• Statutory & Bills: SHA Contribution, HELB, Electricity (Kenya Power), Nairobi Water
• Savings & Investments: M-Shwari, KCB M-Pesa, Lock Savings
DUAL SIM SUPPORT
Have two Safaricom lines? PesaSense tracks both M-Pesa lines independently with separate spending histories, balances, and category budgets.
SMART BUDGETING & SPENDING ALERTS
Set monthly spending limits for each category. Visual progress bars turn amber at 80% and red when limits are reached, helping you avoid mid-month budget overruns.
FINANCIAL INSIGHTS & REPORTS
• Live M-Pesa balance tracking
• Income vs. Expense summaries
• Monthly transaction fee breakdown
• Export reports to Excel/PDF for personal accounting

What’s new
Version 2.9.5 · Updated July 22, 2026
Performance & Parsing Fixes - Improved: Switching between Dashboard and Analytics is noticeably smoother - Fixed: Some legitimate transactions (like airtime bought on a near-empty balance) were being rejected, now parsed correctly - Fixed: Reversed transactions are now tracked properly instead of being silently dropped
User reviews
nice to use
This is perfect! I have two suggestions: PLEASE consider adding a privacy feature that allows users to hide their balance when showing merchants their transaction confirmation🙏 Also the option to choose which page opens by default when launching the app, such as Transactions, would be nice.
A great app for personal financial management. Is it possible to filter transactions by date range as opposed to last 7 days or one month? Kindly update. Thank you.
simple. useful
on the category, can we have an option of not generalisation? eg like equity paybill can have different categories
excellent app
