Question 1

What is Konnach?

Accepted Answer

Konnach is a 100% offline digital ledger for shop owners, traders and freelancers. It replaces the paper notebook (“cahier”) used to track who owes you and who you owe.

Question 2

What does the name mean?

Accepted Answer

“Konnach” comes from كنّاش — the Arabic word for notebook. It's a nod to the millions of merchants who track credit by hand every day.

Question 3

Is Konnach really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The core ledger — clients, suppliers, transactions, cashbook, reports, exports — is free, with optional non-intrusive ads. Premium is optional.

Question 4

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

On your device only, in a local SQLite database. We never see it.

Question 5

Do you sell my data?

Accepted Answer

No. We have nothing to sell — your data never reaches our servers.

Question 6

What happens if I lose my phone?

Accepted Answer

Use the Export feature periodically to save an encrypted backup. You can restore it on a new device at any time.

Question 7

Can I lock the app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set a 4–6 digit PIN, and optionally enable Face ID or Touch ID. The app locks on every launch.

Question 8

Can I track multiple shops?

Accepted Answer

Multi-workspace support is in active development. Today, you can already keep clients and suppliers separate, with notes per person.

Question 9

Does it support Arabic / RTL?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with native right-to-left layout — not just translated strings.

Question 10

Can I send WhatsApp reminders?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in one tap from any client's profile. We pre-fill a polite message with the current balance.
