The month-end scramble

Every home has the same four questions.

And nobody can ever quite remember the answers.

“She took leave last week… was that three days, or four?
“We gave an advance in March. Did we ever deduct it?
“The loan. How many instalments are actually left?
“Mummy paid him last month. Or was that me?
So you round it off, pay a little extra, and hope nobody feels short-changed.
There is a better way, and it takes two minutes to set up.
Watch · 30 seconds

From messy notes to an exact number.

Here is the whole idea, start to finish.

Kamala, 2 chutti? 3?
Ramu advance ₹2000 (ya 1500?)
loan, kitni kist baaki?
This is how most homes keep track.
A diary, a phone note, and somebody's memory.
₹1,847
The amount you quietly overpay.
Not because you are careless. Nobody can hold a month of half-days and advances in their head.
So we built GharSeva.
One place for everyone who works at your home.
Add your staff Name Work Monthly salary
Step one: add them once.
Takes about thirty seconds per person. That is the only setup there is.
Present Leave Holiday
Step two: one tap a day.
Miss a day? Tap any date on the calendar and fix it later.

Step three: there is no step three.
And the whole family sees it.
Share one code. Whatever anyone writes down appears on everybody's phone.
And when the month is hard, you bend it.
Take part of a loan instalment instead of all of it, or skip it altogether. Whatever is left simply waits for next month.

Everything in one place

Small app. Surprisingly thorough.

Built around how Indian households actually pay their help, where the rule is a starting point and real life keeps amending it.

The maths is automatic. The decision is not.

Every deduction it works out is a suggestion you can overrule, one month, one person, one line at a time.

Loan instalment due₹1,000
He asks for less this monthtake ₹300
Balance is not forgiven₹700 waits
Next month, unchanged₹1,000

One tap a day

Present, leave or holiday. Tap any past date to correct it, and the salary updates itself.

Advances & loans

Set how many months to repay over and the instalment works itself out, or type your own. A month they cannot manage it, take less, or none. The balance keeps count either way.

Nothing is final

Recorded a salary you should not have? Undo it and the loan instalment steps back with it. Marked the wrong day three weeks ago? Fix it and the maths catches up.

Your whole family, one shared list

Share a six-character code. When your mother marks a leave in Nagpur, you see it in Mumbai a second later.

Works without internet

Mark attendance in a lift or a basement. It syncs the moment you are back online.

Aa

Large-text mode

Two taps make everything bigger. Built so elders in the house can use it without help.

Speak instead of typing

Say what happened and let the app write the entry for you.

Year at a glance

Every rupee paid, every day taken, per person, per year. Export to a spreadsheet whenever you like.

Document drawer

Aadhaar and bank details kept with the person they belong to, so you are not hunting for them at payment time.

More than one home

Main house, in-laws' place, the farm. Keep each one separate and switch in a tap.

Two minutes to set up

Three things, then it keeps up with you.

Add the people

Name, the work they do, and what you pay them each month. Everything else is optional and can wait.

Tap once a day

Present, leave or holiday. That single tap is the only habit the app ever asks of you.

Pay the number, or change it

On salary day the amount is already sitting there, deductions and all. Agree with it and pay. Disagree with any line and adjust it before you do.

Made for joint families

Everyone writes. Nobody double-pays.

In most homes, more than one person deals with the help, and that is exactly where the confusion starts. GharSeva gives the household one shared record instead of four private ones.

  • Up to five family members on one household
  • An entry made by anyone shows up for everyone, instantly
  • Joining is a six-character code. No emails, no passwords to share
  • Change your phone and nothing is lost

Built here, for here

It already speaks your household's language.

हिंदी and English

Switch the entire app with one tap in the corner. Nothing is left half-translated.

The right job names

Maid, cook, driver, watchman, gardener. Add your own if we missed one.

Shares on WhatsApp

Send a salary slip or an invite the way your family already talks.

Your rules, not ours

Some homes count 26 working days, some 30. Some pay a fixed rate an hour, some work it out from the salary. Set yours and every calculation follows it.

Straight answers

Questions people ask first.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no paid tier, no trial clock and nothing to unlock. The app is free to use.

What does signing in involve?

Your phone number and an OTP, or your Google account, whichever you prefer. That is the whole of it: no password to invent, no email to confirm. Signing in is what keeps the household on every family member's phone and safe if you lose yours.

What happens to my data if I change my phone?

Nothing to do. Your household lives in the cloud, so you sign in on the new phone and everything is already there: every person, every advance, every loan balance.

Can I overrule what the app works out?

Always. Take part of a loan instalment instead of the whole one and the rest waits for next month. Skip a deduction entirely for someone having a hard month. Type over any rate it suggests. Correct a day you marked wrong three weeks ago. Undo a salary you have already recorded. The app does the arithmetic. You decide the number.

Will it work when the internet is down?

Yes. You can add people, mark attendance and record advances completely offline. Anything you do is sent up automatically the next time you have a connection.

Is my staff's Aadhaar and bank information safe?

They sit in a separate section on the person's own profile, and only the family members you have invited into your household can read them. Nobody else: not another household, not a stranger holding a code to somewhere else.

My mother is not comfortable with apps. Can she use it?

That is who it was designed around. There is a guided walkthrough the first time you open it that points at the exact button to press, a large-text mode, and the whole thing works in Hindi.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It opens in your browser. On Android or iPhone you can also use “Add to Home Screen” and it will behave like any other app.

Next salary day can be the easy one.

Add one person, tap a few days, and let the app do the arithmetic you have been doing in your head for years, while you keep every decision it is based on.
