TindaMate — the utang notebook, now on your phone
A free, offline-first app for sari-sari store owners: track kung sino may utang, log payments, and send a polite reminder — all in seconds, all without internet, all kept private on your own phone.
TindaMate is in active development ahead of a wider Android release. Email [email protected] and we'll let you know when it's ready to install.
Built for the sari-sari counter, not a boardroom
Two-tap utang entry, big buttons, Taglish copy — designed to work on a ₱4k phone with patchy signal.
2-tap utang entry
Amount plus an optional item note — recording a customer's utang takes seconds, numpad-first.
Customer balances at a glance
Every customer's running balance, payment history and how old the debt is — ranked so you see who to follow up with first.
Taglish SMS reminders
Polite, face-saving reminder templates sent straight from the app — no need for an awkward conversation.
Fully offline
Every feature works with zero connection. Nothing is uploaded, so intermittent prepaid data is never a problem.
Private by default
Your ledger is encrypted on your device and stays there — no account, no server, no one else can read it.
Printable records
Export or print a customer's utang history — a digital version of the listahan you can hand over or file away.
How TindaMate works
Three steps from a new customer to a collected payment.
Add a customer
A name or nickname is enough — "Aling Nena," "Kuya sa kanto." No forms, no signup.
Log the utang
Enter the amount and, if you like, what it was for. The running balance updates immediately.
Follow up and collect
See who's overdue at a glance, send a Taglish SMS reminder, and record the payment when it comes in.
TindaMate — frequently asked questions
What is TindaMate?
TindaMate is a free Android app that replaces the paper utang notebook (listahan) for sari-sari store owners — track customer balances, log payments, and send polite SMS reminders, all from your phone.
Does it need internet to work?
No. TindaMate works fully offline — every feature runs on the phone with no data connection needed, which matters on the intermittent prepaid data most stores rely on.
Is my customers' utang data safe?
Yes. All data is stored encrypted on your own device and is never uploaded anywhere. There is no account, no server, and nobody but you can see your ledger.
Is TindaMate free?
The Utang Ledger is free. Optional inventory and point-of-sale tools are planned as a paid upgrade later, but the core utang tracker stays free.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not currently — TindaMate is Android-only, since that's overwhelmingly what sari-sari store owners use. Email [email protected] if you'd like to be notified of a future iOS release.
