How we work

What we care about

Get it right

Every hadith in our apps is checked against its source, and every payment against the bank's own receipt. Accuracy comes before features.

Calm, not noisy

Few notifications, no dark patterns, no guilt. Software should save people time, not take it.

Works on real phones

Built for low-cost Android phones and patchy data first, then polished for everything else.

One team, end to end

Design, web, mobile and backend under one roof, so nothing gets lost between agencies.

Why Qaf

Made for the people who use it

Most software treats language, calendars and payments as an afterthought. We build them in from day one.

Your language

Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Somali, Arabic and English, built into the product from the start.

ሰላም · Nagaa · Salaan

Your calendar

Ethiopian, Hijri and Gregorian dates side by side, so reminders land on the right day.

መስከረም · Rabi' · Oct

Works offline

Downloads, local databases and sync that survive slow or missing internet.

No signal? Still works.

Local payments

telebirr, CBE and BOA flows and automatic receipt checks, built in from day one.
