Android · Offline · Receivables & Debt Tracking

Clear information to help you use Receba safely.

Consult the official legal documents and support channels for the app. Receba runs locally on your mobile device and was designed to help freelancers, contractors, and merchants track accounts receivable, installment payments, customer dues, payment reminders, and digital receipts.

Important: perform backups regularly. Without an exported backup file, customer and installment records deleted by uninstalling, clearing data, or losing your device cannot be recovered by the developer.
