How it works

Your shopper logs the bazaar in seconds. You see where every taka went.

Three steps, and the household books stay current without anyone sitting down to do data entry.

  1. On the phone

    Log it in the market

    Amount, category, photo of the receipt. Three taps, works offline.

    • Open the app, hit the green button, type the amount on a full-height keypad.
    • Pick one of eight category tiles — meat, fish, vegetables, rice, groceries, dairy, fruit.
    • Cash or card, and a photo of the receipt if there is one. Save.
  2. On the dashboard

    Watch the month

    Budgets, categories and trends update as entries arrive.

    • Income and monthly budgets are yours alone to set.
    • Income against expense for the last six months, and a donut of where this month went.
    • Every entry in one table, filterable by date, category, method and who logged it.
  3. On everyone's phone

    Share with the family

    Everyone sees the overview. Only you can change the books.

    • Family members sign in with their own number and see the month's balance.
    • They get the category breakdown and the week's daily spend — nothing editable.
    • You decide who is added, and you can change or remove access at any time.

You are offline

The market has no signal. It still works.

Expense entry is the one thing that can never wait for a network, so it does not.

  • The entry is written to the phone the instant you tap save, and shows up in today's list immediately.

  • It carries a pending marker until it reaches the server, so nothing quietly disappears.

  • When the signal returns the queue drains by itself — replays are deduplicated, so an entry never lands twice.

People & access

One household, three kinds of access

Nobody shares a login. Everyone signs in with their own number and a PIN, and sees exactly the screen their role needs.
