Hisab Expert
Shop finance app for Indian kirana owners. Offline-first, with automatic UPI detection, voice entry, and OCR for old paper ledgers.
Overview
Hisab Expert came from a real gap. Most small shop owners in India still run their books on paper. The app handles daily income and expense tracking, customer credit, stock management, and end-of-day reports, all without needing an internet connection. Every entry is encrypted on the device and backed up to the cloud silently when connectivity is available. The goal was to feel familiar to someone who has used paper ledgers for 20 years, not like accounting software built for a desk job.
Tech Stack
A kirana store owner runs on instinct. They rarely know their exact profit for the day, which customers have pending dues, or when a product is about to run out. Paper ledgers get lost, smudged, or simply cannot keep up once the shop gets busy. And most finance apps assume the user has reliable internet and basic accounting knowledge, neither of which you can count on.
The app auto-detects UPI payments from Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm without asking for SMS access. Transactions can be added by voice, so a shopkeeper can log a sale without putting anything down. Old paper records can be photographed and pulled into the app using OCR. At the end of the day, a clean PDF or Excel report is one tap away. Everything is encrypted on the device using AES-256 before it touches storage.
Dashboard
The home screen shows net profit, total income, and expenses for the week at a glance. No setup required — it works the moment you record your first transaction, and fully offline.
Voice Entry
A shopkeeper can log a sale without putting anything down. Tap the mic, say the amount and type, and the transaction is recorded. Designed for people who are always mid-task.
Transactions
Every entry across cash, UPI, and credit is logged here with time, amount, and auto-detected payment type. Filterable by date, category, or payment method, so finding any record takes seconds.
Ledger
Tracks which customers owe money and how much. Marks delivery status, shows overdue balances, and lets the owner add new customers on the spot. The most-used screen in the app.
