Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. Here's everything you need to know about how Oikos handles your data.

What Oikos Does

Oikos is a personal expense management tool. We help you analyze and manage your budgets, goals, and spending — all manually and locally on your device.

  • Track your income and expenses manually
  • Set and monitor budgets for different categories
  • Create and track savings goals
  • Analyze your spending patterns with beautiful charts
  • Parse bank SMS messages locally on your device

What We Do NOT Do

Oikos does NOT provide any financial services. We are purely an analysis and management tool.

  • We do NOT provide banking or financial services
  • We do NOT process payments or transactions
  • We do NOT offer financial advice or investment recommendations
  • We do NOT have access to your bank accounts
  • We do NOT connect to any financial institutions

All data entry and management is done manually by you. SMS parsing is performed entirely on your device and the data never leaves your phone.

Your Data Stays with You

We do NOT share your data with anyone. Period.

  • All your financial data is stored locally on your device
  • We do NOT collect or transmit your personal information
  • We do NOT sell your data to third parties

Your expense data, budgets, goals, and all other information remain completely private and under your control.
