Why leave paper?
The paper book served you for years. It also has four problems that cost you money.
Every shop owner knows them. Here they are, and what Daftari does about each one.
- 01
Pages get lost
A page tears, tea spills on it, or the whole book goes missing. What was written goes with it, and so does your money.
In Daftari: Sign in with the same account on a new phone to restore the last successful copy of books, amounts and photos.
- 02
Sums go wrong
You add it up with a pen late at night, tired, and get a different number from yesterday. Ten riyals here, ten there, and it adds up.
In Daftari: Each customer's balance is worked out the moment you save, and the total is always in front of you, to the halala.
- 03
"I never took that"
A customer says they never took it, or a number was written over another. All you have is your handwriting and your word.
In Daftari: Every entry has its date. Edit and delete freely: the change stays in the history, and their statement is ready to send.
- 04
Asking is awkward
Asking feels awkward, so you put it off day after day, and the debt grows.
In Daftari: Late customers are listed for you, and one tap opens WhatsApp with a polite reminder and their statement ready, in their language.

From the app itself
The real Daftari screens
Captured from the app on iPhone, for a sample shop with made-up names.
Shown in Arabic. The app also speaks English and Hindi.
The book: who owes you what, late customers on top 
A customer: the balance in large type, and two buttons 
Recording: see the new balance before you save 
The reminder: ready in the customer's language 
Your business: what came back, who is late, the largest debts 
Profit calculator: what is left per month and year 
The main book: all your books in one place
What's inside
A shop owner's tools, in the notebook's words.
No accounting terms: "owes me", "I owe" and "settled", just as you would say them.
Late customers, listed for you
Choose how many days without a payment makes a customer late. Daftari lists them, and you remind them one by one with a tap.
Works offline
Record and review books offline. Connect to sign in, subscribe, save or restore your account copy.
A profit calculator you understand
Enter what an item costs, its price, how many you sell and your monthly costs. It tells you what is left, and how much you need to sell to break even.
One book per business
The grocery has its book, the home business has its own, and one main book brings them together.
One language for the app, another for messages
Set the app to Arabic, English or Hindi for whoever is at the counter, and WhatsApp messages reach each customer in the language you choose for them.
Every change is kept
Edit and delete freely. The history keeps what changed and when.
A credit limit per customer
Set one limit for everyone or one for a single customer, and Daftari warns you before a customer goes over it.

Questions
Before you start
Short answers to the questions that matter most.
Does it work offline?
Yes. You need the internet the first time to sign in; after that you record, add up and see your books with the internet off.
What if I lose my phone?
Sign in with the same account on the new phone to restore the last successful copy of books, amounts and photos. Check that a copy succeeded in Settings before changing phones.
What if my worker doesn't read Arabic?
The app speaks Arabic, English and Hindi. WhatsApp messages reach the customer in the language you choose, for the whole business or per customer.
Do you see my contacts?
No. You pick the customer yourself from your contacts or type their name and number, and only the ones you pick are added.
How much is it?
The first month is free on this phone. After that, a monthly subscription at 14.99 SAR or a yearly one at 129.99 SAR through the store, and you can cancel any time.
Does Daftari move money or lend?
No. Daftari is a book, not a bank: it only records customer credit and repayments. It does not move money, lend money or take payments.
