The Sakhani app

No reception on site?
No problem.

Install Sakhani on your phone, tablet or computer, straight from the browser. Log the diary, events and photos with no signal at all: they wait on the phone and reach the office the moment you are back in signal.

Offline on site

Write it now. It sends itself later.

Basements, rural sites, the far end of a long road: the work still gets recorded on the day it happens. A made-up day on a made-up project, as the app shows it.

1 · No signal on siteThe site agent fills in the day as usual. Sakhani saves it on the phone and says it is waiting.
2 · It waits on the phoneEvents, photos and the diary queue up, each marked waiting. Nothing typed is lost, even if the phone is locked.
3 · Back in signal, sent onceThe moment the phone finds signal, everything goes to the office, each item once, and the clocks start.

Built for site

Made for the way site work really goes.

Sent once, never twice

Signal comes and goes on site. Each item is accepted by Sakhani once, so a diary day or an event never lands twice.

Kept for the person who wrote it

Waiting items stay on the phone, locked to that person's log-in, even through a log-out or a flat battery.

Ready before you lose signal

Each time the phone has signal, Sakhani keeps the site tabs on it, so they still open in the basement. It updates itself the same way: there is nothing to install twice.

Free with every plan

The app is Sakhani itself, so it is included in the free trial and every plan. Your data stays hosted in South Africa.

Questions about the app

Is Sakhani in the Play Store or the App Store?

No. It installs straight from the browser, so there is nothing to find in a store. It is the same Sakhani on every phone, tablet and computer, and it always opens the latest version.

Which phones and computers does it work on?

Android phones and tablets with Chrome or Samsung Internet, iPhones and iPads with Safari, and Windows and Mac computers with Chrome or Edge. On a Mac it also works in Safari through File, Add to Dock.

What happens to waiting items if I log out or the battery dies?

They stay on the phone, locked to you, and send the next time you are logged in with signal. If you log out with items still waiting, Sakhani asks first.

Will something send twice if the signal keeps dropping?

No. Every item carries its own reference from the phone, and Sakhani accepts each reference once. A diary day sent late carries only the sections that changed.

Do the deadlines start when I log the event or when it sends?

The event carries the date it happened, as you entered it on the phone. Its deadline is counted from that date, the way your contract says, not from when the phone found signal.

Everything else Sakhani does: how it works, and the WhatsApp side for teams who would rather not open an app at all.
