ynab-helper

An Android app that reads bank SMS notifications on your phone, parses them into transactions, and pushes them to your YNAB (You Need A Budget) budget through the official YNAB API.

What it does

Reads bank SMS locally on your Android device.
Parses amount, merchant, account and date from supported banks.
Pushes transactions to YNAB through the official YNAB OAuth API.
No server in the middle — your SMS never leave your phone.

How it works

You sign in to YNAB via OAuth from the app.
The app receives an access token from YNAB and stores it on the device only.
SMS are matched against parser rules and turned into draft transactions.
You review and confirm — the app sends the transaction to your YNAB budget.
