Ketabcha, up close
Three screens from the app: the owner’s home, a tenant’s bills, and a bill being forwarded.
01Most buildings and markets still keep their books the old way.
Building accounts still get lost in paper and chat
Paper notebooks
Rent and expenses live in one notebook that only one person can see. If it’s lost or damaged, the records go with it.
Scattered WhatsApp messages
Receipts, bill photos and reminders get buried in WhatsApp groups, and nobody is sure which payments were recorded.
Owners can’t see their share
Co-owners wait for the manager’s report and never quite know how much of each month’s rent and costs is theirs.
02Setting up a building takes less than an hour.
Get started in three steps
- 1
Add your building and owners
Create floors and units in one go, and set each owner’s share as a percentage.
- 2
Send invoices by SMS
At the start of each month, invoices are drafted for every tenant. Send them all with one tap; tenants don’t need an app.
- 3
Everyone sees the same numbers
Managers, owners and tenants each see exactly the figures that concern them. No disputes, no guesswork.
03Utilities
New: water and electricity bills
Water, power and generator bills, from meter to paid
Water, electricity and generator bills are issued by the building manager or a private power company, and reach owners and tenants directly in Ketabcha. Owners can forward a bill to their tenant with one tap, and everyone keeps track of their own costs.

Frequently asked questions
Does Ketabcha hold my money?
No. Ketabcha never holds your money. Rent goes straight to your own bank, HesabPay or M-Paisa account, or is paid to you in cash; Ketabcha only records it.

Yes. Building managers and private power companies can issue water, electricity and generator bills in Ketabcha. Money goes straight to the issuer’s own account; Ketabcha only records it.
Do tenants need to install an app?
No. Tenants get a link by SMS or WhatsApp and open their invoice in their phone’s browser.
Who can see my building’s data?
Only the people you invite. Each owner sees only their own share, and each tenant only their own invoices.

Ketabcha is built for weak connections. Your entries are kept on the phone and sync automatically once you’re back online.
