What is the difference between "You gave" and "You got"?
"You gave" records goods or money given on credit, so the person owes you more. "You got" records a payment or goods received from them, so they owe you less. For suppliers, "You got" usually means goods received on credit, and "You gave" means you paid them.
Can I use the khata on two phones?
Each device keeps its own copy. To move your khata, download a backup on the first device and use Restore from backup on the second. Entries added afterwards are not synced automatically.
How do I keep separate books for two shops?
Use the book selector at the top left of the app and choose New book. Each book has its own parties, cash book and reports.
Does the khata calculate interest on udhaar?
No, balances are shown exactly as entered. To work out interest on an old balance, use the byaj calculator and record the agreed interest as a "You gave" entry with a note.
Is my data safe?
Your entries never leave your device unless you share or export them. Anyone with access to your unlocked phone and browser could open the khata, so keep your phone locked.
