## What is Sous le Baobab?

Sous le Baobab brings your tontine into a single app — simple and safe.

Just as people gather under the baobab to decide together, the app brings your association's members together: contributions, payout turns, fund and solidarity — all clear, up to date, and visible to those who should see it.

KEY FEATURES
• Create your association and invite members by link or QR code
• Tontine cycles: contributions, turn schedule, "whose turn it is"
• Payment tracking: contributions, payouts, receipts and reminders
• Internal fund: group-backed loans with interest and history
• Solidarity fund for hard times
• Group chat and audio/video calls between members
• Real-time updates — everything refreshes on its own

SAFE AND PRIVATE
• Mandatory two-factor, trusted devices, backup codes
• Hosted in Germany — no ads, no trackers, no cookies
• Your financial data is visible only to the members concerned

Available in French, German and English.

Sous le Baobab is for tontines, njangis and savings groups that want to manage their shared money with order and trust.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-27

New in this version:
• Works offline: what you loaded last stays visible, and messages as well as actions are queued and sent automatically once you are back online
• Annual fee: who has paid and by when, with reminders; the total of fees and donations is visible to everyone
• Finances as its own area: treasury balance, recording expenses and a yearly history to look things up
• Several tontine cycles at once — each with its own members, amounts and rhythm
• A chat room per cycle: only its members and the office read along, and the notes about contributions and payouts land there too; once the cycle closes it stays readable
• Association overview with the balance, donations and whose turn it is in which tontine
• Shared links now reliably open the right place in the app
• Invite links: set how long they stay valid
• Further improvements and fixes
