Get Khata
One account. Every screen you work on.
Bill from your phone at the counter, close the month on a computer, and let your team sign in with their own PIN. It is the same business, the same data, and the same free access everywhere.
Free forever. No card, no trial that expires, no paid tier.
Where Khata is available
Four ways in, one business behind them. Pick the one that matches where you are standing.
Android app
For the owner, on the counter
The complete product. Bill, scan, print and collect from the phone already in your pocket.
- Works offline and syncs when you reconnect
- Scan barcodes with the camera
- Print to Bluetooth thermal printers
- Share invoices and payment reminders
iPhone & iPad app
For the owner, on the counter
The same complete product on iOS, with the same data and the same free access.

Business dashboard
For the owner, on a computer
A full-size screen for the work a phone is bad at — bulk edits, long reports and month-end.
- Edit hundreds of rows in a spreadsheet view
- Add your own custom fields to any record
- Day book and party ledger for your accountant
- Export any report to CSV
Granted on request for larger businesses. Most shops never need it — the app is complete on its own.
Staff portal
For your employees
Your team signs in with the Staff ID and PIN you create, and sees only what you allow.
- Sign in with a Staff ID and PIN, no email needed
- Take orders and raise bills
- Mark attendance
- Log leads and raise support requests
You create each staff member and their PIN inside the app. There is nothing for your team to sign up for.
What runs where
The gaps are deliberate, and they are the reason each surface exists.

They are not separate products
You are not copying data between an app and a website. There is one account underneath, and each surface is a different window onto it.
One account, not four
Your shop is a single account. Every surface signs into that same account, so there is nothing to import, export or reconcile between them.
A sale on the counter is on the dashboard
Bills, stock movements and payments post to the same records. Whoever opens the dashboard next sees what the counter just did.
Losing signal does not stop billing
The app keeps working with no connection and sends everything up once you are back online. The web surfaces need a connection, which is why the app stays the main product.
Up and running in three steps
Most shops raise their first real bill on the same day they install.
Install and sign up
Download from your store and create your shop with a phone number. No card, and nothing to choose between — there is one plan and it is free.
Add what you sell
Enter your products, or scan barcodes to add them quickly. You can start with a handful and fill the rest in as you go.
Start billing
Raise your first bill, print it or share it, and record the payment. Your reports start filling in from that first sale.
What you need
If you are reading this on a phone you bought in the last few years, you are almost certainly covered.
Android
Android 7.0 or newer. Google Play checks your device before installing and will tell you if it is not supported.
iPhone & iPad
iOS or iPadOS 16.4 or newer. The App Store will tell you if your device is below that.
Dashboard & staff portal
Any current browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox — on a computer, tablet or phone. Nothing to install.
Receipt printers
Bluetooth thermal printers pair with the mobile app. Printing from a browser uses your computer's normal print dialog.
