About Lekhapalani
The money tracker Nepal actually needed
Global apps came and went — Mint shut down in March 2024, and its kind never supported Nepali wallets or cash. We built Lekhapalani in Kathmandu, for NPR.
Our story
A gap the big apps ignored
People kept asking the same question: which tracker works with eSewa and cash? The honest answer for years was none.
- Mint and its peers never worked with Nepali banks, wallets or manual NPR entry
- Households were tracking money in notebooks, spreadsheets and memory
- Lekhapalani (लेखापालनि) is a centuries-old bookkeeping habit — we digitised it
The journey
From notebook to app
The notebook era
Most Nepali households still keep a handwritten khata. It works — until it doesn't add up. [CLIENT-COPY: founding story — replace with real timeline and names]
The global apps failed
Mint and trackers like it never supported Nepali payments, wallet apps or manual NPR entry at scale. Users on forums confirmed the gap.
First khata, then launch
We launched with the three things users kept asking for: manual entry, full offline mode and pricing in NPR.
Today and tomorrow
Members now track cash, wallets and bank spends; budgets, reports and the business khata followed. [CLIENT-COPY: verify milestones]
