- Red is money you’ll get, green is money you’ll give. Understood at a glance.
- Fix names and numbers, pin favourites, archive settled accounts.
- Add a photo or voice note to an entry, even without a connection.
Cash, bank & expenses
All of your daily money, in one app.
A Cash Book that balances, a bank book for every account and expense categories you can rename.
- See cash in and cash out, with the balance always up to date.
- Track more than one bank account and see the total at a glance.
- Know what you spent this month, and on what.
Reports & statements
Reports for any dates, ready to share.
Pick this month, last month, this year or your own dates, and send the result as a PDF or an Excel file.
- Cash Book, bank accounts, expenses and an estimate of profit.
- Customer and bank statements with a running balance.
- PDFs for this month and last month are always free.
Payment reminders
Remind on WhatsApp. Stay polite. Get paid.
Munshi opens WhatsApp with a message ready to go. You check it and press Send yourself. Nothing is ever sent for you.
- Set one collection date for many customers at once.
- The message is already written. You only read it and press Send.
- Open a reminder for anyone who owes you, straight from one list.
And the details that matter
Built to be trusted with your records.
App Lock
A PIN that waits after wrong tries and hides the app in the app switcher. Fingerprint or Face ID unlock is optional.
Backups
Back up to your phone every day, and to your own Google Drive. Sign in on a new phone and your records come with you.
Recycle bin
Deleted a ledger, cash, bank or expense entry by mistake? Restore it within 14 days.
PDF & Excel
Share statements and reports in the format your accountant, bank or customer asks for.
Gentle reminders
Ready-written WhatsApp messages and collection dates, so you never have to remember who to chase.

How Munshi stays free
Premium features, free for everyone.
Other khata apps charge for working offline, using more than one phone or backing up to Drive. In Munshi they’re free, because a few ads pay for the servers and for building, updating and supporting the app.
Ads pay the bills
Ads cover the cloud servers that keep your khata safe and synced, and let us keep improving Munshi and answering your questions.
Nothing locked away
Offline use, many phones, Drive backup, reminders, reports and App Lock are free. Longer reports and Excel files open after a short ad.
Never in your way
Ads are marked “Ad” and never appear while you add an entry, sign in, unlock the app or send a reminder. Your customers’ details are never shared.
