by detached.space

All your banks,
in one place.

The personal-finance app that turns the bank SMS you already get into a clear, organized view of your money — automatic, offline, and private.

Antler · First Interview July 23, 2026
The problem

Your money is scattered — and tracking it is a chore.

Most people juggle a bank app, Telebirr, M-Pesa, maybe two more accounts, and cash. No single view. Every SMS is a receipt you forget. Overspend is a surprise you find out too late.

Why now

A cash economy is going digital — fast.

Mobile money and bank apps have reached tens of millions, and the value flowing through them is now measured in trillions. The rails are here — what's missing is a layer that makes sense of it all.

The product

Totals reads your bank SMS and organizes your money for you.

Every message from every bank, parsed the moment it arrives — turned into balances, budgets, and insights. All on your phone.

How it works

SMS in. Organized money out.

1 · A bank SMS arrives
CBE, Telebirr, Awash, M-Pesa — any supported sender.
2 · Parsed instantly, on-device
Amount, account, merchant, direction — categorized automatically.
3 · Balances, budgets & insights update
No typing. Cash entries are the only thing you add by hand.
  • 100% offline — data stays on your phone (on-device SQLite). No servers, no cloud by default.
  • No sign-up — open the app and go. Biometric lock; amounts hidden by default.

The moat

Shared budgeting, settled automatically.

Split rent, a trip, or a household with anyone. Because splits link to real bank transactions, balances settle themselves — and everyone sees the same truth.

Tied to the actual SMS transaction — verifiable, not guessed.

“You're settled up — everything is even.”

Private by design
Open-source (MIT) — trust you can inspect.

Splitwise made you log every expense by hand. Totals already has them — from your bank.

Business model

Free app as the wedge. Two engines behind it.

The consumer app builds trust and distribution at zero marginal cost. Revenue comes from where the real pain — and volume — lives.

Totals · Consumer

Free & open-source. The trust-builder and top of funnel into everything below.

Growth engine

Totals Business

A simple mobile-first ERP for restaurants, cafés, hotels, pharmacies & shops drowning in receipt photos and handwritten reconciliation. Tip splits, verification, exports.

Subscription tiers

Payment gateway

Sender-driven scan-to-claim QR & USSD-push — pay without sharing account numbers. Built for taxis, buses, cafés: tiny amounts, enormous volume.

Per-transaction fee

“The issue isn't adoption — people already have accounts. It's the inconvenience. We make paying & tracking a no-brainer.”

Market

A whole country going digital, at once.

Two large, stacked markets: millions of bank-SMS users for the consumer app, and hundreds of thousands of high-traffic merchants for Business + payments.

Consumer TAM

Tens of millions already receive bank & wallet SMS — Telebirr alone has 51M+ users.

Business TAM

~320K Telebirr agents & ~310K merchants — plus every café, shop, pharmacy & taxi.

Tailwind

A national push to non-cash payments, with smartphone adoption rising fast.

What we want from the residency.

The ask
The finance, network, and mentorship to make our vision for Totals a reality.

Roadmap

  • Now — consumer app live: multi-bank, budgets, shared, health.
  • Next — Totals Business: mobile-first ERP for high-traffic merchants.
  • Then — payment gateway: scan-to-claim QR + USSD-push, per-transaction revenue.

From fragmentation into clarity.

Totals is how people will see, share, and move their money — starting with the SMS already in every pocket.
