Basin turns the transaction notifications your bank and payment apps already send into a running weekly total. There is no bank login and no expense typing.

## Before you start

- An Android phone. Basin is Android only (package ID `com.nomoi.tacit`).
- Banking or payment apps that post a notification when you spend.

## Set up Basin

1. Install Basin from Google Play. The install link is on the [Basin page](/products/basin).
2. Open Basin and allow **notification access** when Android asks. This is how Basin reads transactions, at the OS level, as they happen.
3. Make a small purchase, or wait for your next one. The transaction appears in your weekly total.

## What Basin reads

Basin reads banking and payment notifications. It does not ask for SMS permission and does not ask for your bank credentials.
