Every culture has a name for it. Committee. Susu. Tanda. Hagbad. Chit fund. Stokvel. Equb. Hui. Paluwagan. Gam'eya. Partner hand. Arisan. Tontine. Chama. The names are different. The idea is the same โ a group of people who trust each other, pool their money, and take turns. Communities have been doing this for centuries. Golak helps you organize it properly. FOR FACILITATORS Create a circle and invite members in minutes Track who has paid and who hasn't โ in real time Set payout order manually or randomize slots Mark payments with one tap Process payouts when the circle is ready Optional opt-in for group identity verification and digital contracts Send automatic reminders to members Keep a full record of every payment and payout Manage multiple circles in one place FOR MEMBERS See your upcoming payment date and amount Know exactly when your payout is coming View your full contribution history Sign contracts and complete verification from your phone Get notified when it's time to pay IMPORTANT Golak is a coordination and record-keeping tool โ not a bank or payment processor. The app does not collect, hold, move, or process money in any way. All financial arrangements remain fully between group members.

How much can you safely spend today? SpendLedger answers that question the moment you open it. Instead of just recording what you have already spent, it shows you a daily safe-to-spend amount, so you reach the end of the month without running out of money and still hit your savings goal. SpendLedger is a simple money manager that automatically works out how much you can spend each day. Enter your income and your fixed bills, set a savings goal, and the app subtracts what you need to keep and spreads the rest across the days left in the month. No receipt scanning, no complicated setup, just a clear answer to the question that actually matters: "Can I afford this today?" HOW IT WORKS Most finance apps only track money after it is gone. SpendLedger works the other way around: it tells you in advance how much is safe to use. Overspend a little one day and the app quietly recalculates the days ahead, so your monthly plan still adds up. No more staring at your bank balance with a knot in your stomach, just a calm and positive way to stay in control.
