Mobile app

Get Paisa on your phone

Paisa reads your bank SMS entirely on-device — nothing leaves your phone. Here's how to install it.

Paisa for Android

Paisa is published on the Indus App Store. Google Play restricts the READ_SMS permission Paisa needs to read bank SMS on-device, so it's distributed via Indus — or as a direct APK.

  1. Install from the Indus App Store using the button on the right — or download the APK.
  2. For the APK: open the file and allow Install unknown apps when Android asks.
  3. Launch Paisa and grant SMS access — or tap “Try with a sample inbox” to explore with no permissions.
  4. Everything is parsed and stored locally. There is no account and no cloud sync.
Get it onIndus App Store Direct downloadPaisa APK (Android)

Not on Google Play — its policy doesn't permit the on-device SMS reading Paisa relies on. The Indus App Store does.

Why BSSR Labs

Small studio. Serious craft.

🔒

Privacy by default

Where data can stay on your device, it does. Paisa never uploads your finances; our apps ask for the least they need.

🎯

Focused, not bloated

Every app does one job exceptionally well. No feature-creep, no dark patterns — just tools that feel calm to use.

⚡

Fast & native-feeling

From Flutter on mobile to Electron on desktop, we tune for speed and hand-build design systems that stay consistent.

🛠️

Shipped, not slideware
