Free · Manual entry · No bank sync

Every rupee, accounted for — your way.

Khata is a simple budgeting ledger with a real choice built in: track your money the standard way, or switch to Islamic mode for Zakat calculation and no-interest principles built into the same budget.

Why manual entry

No bank connection, on purpose

Most budgeting apps charge a subscription mainly to fund constant bank-syncing infrastructure. Khata skips that entirely — you enter transactions yourself, which keeps it free, keeps your data private, and keeps you actually paying attention to where your money goes.

01

Nothing connects to your bank

Your financial data never leaves Khata's database via a third-party sync service. You're in control of every entry.

02

Zero-based, either mode

Every rupee gets assigned a job — rent, savings, Zakat, whatever matters to you — instead of vaguely "left over."

03

Islamic mode is real, not cosmetic

Switching modes changes what the app actually calculates — Zakat on savings above Nisab — not just the color scheme.
