قەرز — تۆماری قەرزەکانت، بە کوردی. کێ قەرزاری تۆیە؟ تۆ قەرزاری کێیت؟ چەندی ماوە؟ لەبری دەفتەر و کاغەز، هەمووی لە قەرز تۆمار بکە. بۆ کێیە؟ دوکاندار، کاسبکار، خێزان و هاوڕێیان. هەر کەسێک کە پارە دەداتە خەڵک یان لە خەڵک وەردەگرێت و دەیەوێت ژمارەکان ڕوون بن. چی دەکات؟ • هەردوو لا: «دەبێت بیدەم» و «دەبێت وەریبگرم». • دیناری عێراقی و دۆلاری ئەمریکی. هەر قەرزێک دراوی خۆی هەیە؛ دینار و دۆلار تێکەڵ ناکرێن. • پارەدان بەشەبەش. هەر بڕێک بدەیت تۆماری بکە، بڕی ماوە خۆی حیساب دەکرێت، و تۆماری هەموو پارەدانەکان دەمێنێتەوە. • وادەی دانەوە و بیرخەرەوە. ڕێککەوتی کۆتایی دابنێ، مۆبایلەکەت پێش کاتەکە ئاگادارت دەکاتەوە. • قەرزی هاوبەش. بەستەرێک یان کۆدی QR بۆ کەسی بەرامبەر بنێرە. ئەویش بە Google یان Apple یان ئیمەیڵەکەی دەچێتە ژوورەوە، هەردووکتان هەمان تۆمار دەبینن، و هەر پارەدانێک هەردوولا پەسەندی دەکەن. هیچ کەسێک بە تەنیا ناتوانێت ژمارەکان بگۆڕێت. • تۆماری قەرز (PDF) و وەسڵی پارەدان. ڕاستەوخۆ بە واتسئاپ بینێرە. • قوفڵی ئەپ. پەنجەمۆر یان ژمارەی نهێنی. • چوونەژوورەوە بە Google، Apple یان بەستەرێک بۆ ئیمەیڵەکەت. نە ژمارەی مۆبایل، نە وشەی نهێنی. • بێ ئینتەرنێت کار دەکات. • کوردیی ناوەندی و ئینگلیزی. چی ناکات؟ پارە ناگوازێتەوە. قەرز نادات. سوود و فایزی تێدا نییە. ڕیکلام نییە. بە بانکەوە نابەسترێتەوە. تەنها تۆمارێکە لە نێوان خەڵکدا. داتاکەت تا نەچیتە ژوورەوە، هەموو تۆمارەکان تەنها لەسەر مۆبایلەکەتن. ژمارەی مۆبایلت داوا ناکەین. ناوەکانی ناو مۆبایلەکەت ناخوێنینەوە. داتاکەت نافرۆشین. لە ڕێکخستنەکانەوە دەتوانیت هەموو داتاکەت دەربهێنیت یان هەژمارەکەت بسڕیتەوە. سیاسەتی تایبەتمەندی: https://qarz.datacode.app/privacy پەیوەندی: info@datacode.app ———————— Qarz is a debt ledger between people. Who owes you, who you owe, and what's still left to pay. Made for shopkeepers, families and friends in Iraq and Kurdistan who lend and borrow the way people do here: on trust, with a line in a notebook. Qarz keeps that line straight. What it does • Two directions: "I must pay" and "I must receive". • Iraqi dinar and US dollar. Each debt keeps its own currency. No conversion, no mixing. • Partial payments. Record any amount, the remaining balance updates, and the full history stays. • Due dates with reminders. Your phone reminds you before the day comes. • Shared debts. Send the other person a link or QR code. They sign in with Google, Apple or their email, see the same record you see, and every payment needs both of you to confirm. Nobody can change the numbers alone. • PDF statements and payment receipts you can send on WhatsApp. • App lock with your fingerprint, face or a PIN. • Sign in with Google, Apple or a link sent to your email. No phone number, no password. • Works offline. • Sorani Kurdish and English. What it doesn't do Qarz doesn't move money, lend money, charge interest, show ads or connect to your bank. It's a record between people, nothing more. Privacy Until you sign in, everything stays on your phone. We never ask for your phone number. We don't read your contacts. We don't sell your data. You can export everything, or delete your account, from Settings. Privacy policy: https://qarz.datacode.app/privacy Support: info@datacode.app
