Why Gawandy

From notebooks and arguments to one clear account

The old way
  • Payments written in a notebook that only the manager can read
  • Lost paper slips and "I already paid!" arguments
  • Hours spent working out who owes what
  • Residents unsure where their money goes
With Gawandy
  • Every payment recorded in seconds, on your phone
  • A numbered receipt on WhatsApp for every payment
  • Debtors listed for you, largest first
  • A clear monthly report anyone can open
How it works

Up and running in three steps

  1. 1

    Add your apartments

    Create a whole block in one go: floors and apartments are numbered for you. Set each fee and rent.

  2. 2

    Record payments

    When someone pays, record it in a few taps. A numbered receipt goes to them on WhatsApp.

  3. 3

    Share the report

    At month end, share a clear report of money in and money out. No names, no arguments.

Everything you need to manage your building

One app. Every part of your building.

Fees, rent, electricity, expenses, accounts, tenants and assets, all in one place and always up to date.

Built for Afghanistan

Made for the way buildings work here

Gawandy is not a foreign tool translated at the last minute. It was designed from the first day for Afghan buildings, Afghan calendars and Afghan phones.

Every screen in three languages, with proper right-to-left layout and Persian digits.

Solar Hijri calendar

Hamal to Hut, with Afghan month names. Lunar Hijri and Gregorian are available too.

Afghani or dollars

Each building chooses AFN or USD. Cash, bank transfer and mobile money are all recorded.

Works on slow internet

A small, fast app that shows your saved data when the connection drops.

No app store needed

Opens in the browser and installs to the home screen of any Android phone or iPhone.

WhatsApp built in

Receipts, bills, reminders and reports are shared on WhatsApp with one tap.

Trust and privacy

Honest books that everyone can trust

Why we built Gawandy
“We saw building managers spend their evenings with notebooks and calculators, and residents argue about payments nobody could prove. Gawandy gives every building clear books, proper receipts and peace of mind, in the languages people actually speak.”
The Gawandy team

Residents see only their own account

Nobody sees another resident’s name, phone number or balance.

Receipts cannot quietly disappear

Every receipt is numbered. A cancelled one stays visible, with its reason and date.

Every change is recorded

Edits, deletions and month closings are kept in a change history.

Your data stays yours

Passwords are protected, connections are encrypted, and your data is never sold.

What is Gawandy?

Gawandy is a building management app for apartment buildings in Afghanistan. Managers use it to record maintenance fees, rent and electricity, give receipts, track debts, record expenses, keep accounts and share monthly reports. Residents use it to see their own account.

Does Gawandy take or send money?

No. Money changes hands the way it does today: cash, bank transfer or mobile money. Gawandy records each payment and gives a receipt, so everyone has proof.

Do residents need to install an app?

No. Gawandy opens in any phone browser. Residents can add it to their home screen like an app. They join with a one-time code from the manager.

Which languages and calendars does it support?

Dari, Pashto and English, with full right-to-left layout. Each building chooses the Solar Hijri, Lunar Hijri or Gregorian calendar, and Afghani or US dollars.

Does it work on a slow internet connection?

Yes. The app is small and fast, and if the connection drops it shows your last saved data until you are back online.

Is our building’s data safe?

Yes. Each building’s data is kept separate, connections are encrypted, and residents only see their own account. Every edit and deletion is recorded in a change history.

Can someone else help me manage the building?

Yes. You can add a second manager or a treasurer. A treasurer can record payments and expenses but cannot change or delete records.
