an app that automatically extracts data from any notification (WhatsApp, Telegram, Email) directly into Excel.
Hey guys. If anyone here runs a small business or handles a lot of manual data entry on their phone, you probably know how annoying it is to get messages like this:
"Hello! I would like to place an order, please. Name: Brian Miller Order: Ergonomic Office Mouse Phone: 415-555-0821 Address: 321 Maple Lane, TX Do you guys offer express shipping?"
Switching back and forth to copy-paste the name, phone, address, and order details into a spreadsheet is just a massive waste of time. I couldn't find a simple tool for this, so I spent the last few months building an app to completely automate it.
The app is called WExcel. It essentially catches the notification (or you can share a text/PDF to it), parses the text to extract the relevant details, and instantly appends a clean row to your Excel file. So the message above automatically becomes this in your sheet:
| Name | Order | Phone | Address | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Brian Miller | Ergonomic Office Mouse | 415-555-0821 | 321 Maple Lane, TX |
A couple of technical notes on how it works:
● Privacy First: The parsing engine runs entirely offline on your phone. No data ever leaves your device.
● Select Any App: You can choose exactly which apps the tool should listen to (Whatsapp, Telegram, SMS, Email, etc.).
● Granular Custom Rules: You can set up specific extraction rules so the app knows exactly what to grab:
• Mandatory Keywords: Ignore the message completely if a specific word is missing.
• Alternative Keywords: If it can't find "Phone", tell it to look for "Mobile" or "Number".
• Smart Matching & Stop Points: Catch words even with extra characters attached, and define exactly where to stop reading (like at a newline or comma).
• Regex Support: For power users, you can use Regular Expressions to extract exact patterns.
● Local AI (Experimental/Beta): I recently added a fully on-device AI engine. It's currently in beta, but the goal is to let it parse completely unstructured, messy text without needing you to set up any manual rules.
It’s my main indie project right now, and I’d really appreciate any feedback, thoughts, or feature requests if you decide to try it out.
