Classify recent messages without a SIM card.
This separate, user-run Shortcut asks Messages for recent history and sends each result directly to SpendSense. The app decides locally whether it is an expense, income, needs review, or is unrelated.
Requires SpendSense Pro on this iPhone. Tap Get Shortcut, then Add Shortcut. Apple asks for Messages access on the first run.

Return to SpendSense
The app processes queued messages into transactions, review items, or safe ignores.
The website never sees your messages.
Messages moves the selected history to the SpendSense App Intent on the same iPhone. The install button opens Apple's Shortcut preview, and the signed file remains available directly from SpendSense Pro. Neither path receives your message data.
The import runs only when you start it.
The batch is limited to keep the Shortcut responsive.
Repeating the same import is safe because SpendSense deduplicates message IDs.
