## What is Musubiba?

Run your neighborhood association, HOA, or community group with one app. Also great for PTAs, youth clubs, sports teams, and volunteer groups. Start with just one feature — circulars, dues, or members — and add more at your own pace.

■ Circulars
Distribute notices to every household instantly. Track who has read each message. Comments, urgent alerts, and PDF attachments supported. Create assemblies, duty rosters, and polls directly from circulars.

■ Dues Management & Online Payment
Create dues records in bulk and track payment status at a glance. Supports multiple collection schedules: twice a year, quarterly, or monthly. Accept card and bank transfer payments online. Automatic reminders for unpaid members and auto-posting to accounting records.

■ Chat (No LINE/WhatsApp Group Needed)
Community-wide and block-level group chat. Coordinate in real time. No separate LINE or WhatsApp groups needed — handover to new board members is seamless.

■ Safety Check
Send one-tap safety confirmations during disasters. Members report their status as "Safe," "Need Help," or "Evacuated," and you can see who hasn't responded at a glance. Also useful for disaster drills.

■ General Assembly & Voting
Create agendas and conduct online voting. Manage attendance responses (present / proxy / absent) within the app. Templates for regular and extraordinary assemblies included. Attendance is tallied automatically in real time.

■ Duty Roster
Assign and track garbage, cleaning, and patrol duties. Create rosters from templates and let members mark tasks as complete.

■ Accounting
Record income and expenses by fiscal year. Combined with automatic dues posting, streamline your community's financial management. Auto-generate financial statements — anyone can keep the books with confidence.

■ Handover Notes
Document role-specific know-how for seamless transitions. No more lost knowledge when board members change every year.

■ Watch & Security
Automatic inactivity monitoring for elderly residents, plus a suspicious activity reporting system for sharing local security alerts. Share reports with neighboring communities. Build a safer neighborhood together.

■ Facility Booking
Reserve community halls, grounds, and shared spaces within the app. Automatic double-booking prevention with real-time availability.

■ More Features
Event calendar, garbage calendar with reminders, local directory, photo gallery, document archive, help board, suggestion box, life events, and more.

■ Family Members
Generate login QR codes for family members from the household representative's account. Family members can view circulars and dues on their own devices.

■ Easy Onboarding — Accessible Design
Residents join by scanning a QR code — no email required (board members such as president and treasurer do need to register an email address). Large text and simple screens for accessibility. Works alongside paper circulars for a gradual digital transition.

■ Privacy & Security
Data is encrypted and stored in the cloud. Community data is accessible only to community members. Personal information like addresses and phone numbers is visible only to administrators.

■ Pricing
Free for up to 15 members with full access to all features. For 16 or more members, just $9.99/month for unlimited members and all features. Dedicated support for every community.

■ For Board Members: Web Version (PC Browser)
Board members (president, treasurer, block leaders) who have registered through the app can also log in from any PC browser using the same account. Comfortable on a larger screen for accounting entry, circular creation, and financial report export. Note: new account creation, community setup, and QR join are available only in the mobile app. → https://musubiba-web.web.app

- Other stability improvements and minor fixes.

### 5.6.3 — 2026-08-23

v5.6.3 Usability improvements

- Made the "Role permissions" screen easier to read. Each feature group now shows its current state, such as "All available" or "1 of 4 available". The buttons that switch a whole group at once only appear when you expand that group.
- Fixed help text that still used the old screen name after it was renamed to "Dues & collections".
- Other stability improvements and minor fixes.

### 5.6.2 — 2026-08-22

v5.6.2 Bug fixes

- Other stability improvements and minor fixes.

### 5.6.1 — 2026-08-19

v5.6.1 Collections can now be paid online

[Dues & Collections]
- Not only membership dues but also collections such as event costs can now be paid online (available when an officer has set up online payments).
- Voluntary collections appear together at the top of the "My Dues & Collections" screen. Paying is entirely optional, and choosing not to pay is never treated as unpaid. You can also close them with "Hide" (officers cannot see that you closed it).
- When a collection is posted to the circular board, residents can pay right there while reading it.
- While a resident is paying online, officers see a "Payment in progress" label, so a payment is no longer received twice. The resident can also cancel the process.
- Online payment for collections is available from 50 yen (card only for 50-299 yen).
- Renamed the "My Dues" screen to "My Dues & Collections".

[Disaster Preparedness & Safety Checks]
- Safety-check responses are now grouped by "Needs rescue", "Evacuated", and "Safe", with "Needs rescue" open first for quick review.
- Added a roster screen to find people who have not responded, by name or group. "Open the door-to-door visit list" shows everyone and lets you share the list, and it stays fast even for large communities.
- Residents can now register the help they may need in a disaster (walking, stairs, difficulty receiving information, small children). Once registered, it appears on the officers' roster to help decide whom to visit first. For those who do not use the app, an officer can record it on their behalf after confirming with them. Illness or disability details are not recorded, and only officers who manage safety checks can view it.

[Other]
- Added explanations of collections to the in-app help and FAQ.
- Stability improvements and minor refinements.
