Saakh

Saakh (साख) is a 100% offline, cryptographically secure digital ledger built to protect India's informal workforce, daily wage earners, and migrant laborers from wage disputes and exploitation. Standard tech solutions fail at remote work sites due to a lack of internet connectivity and fragmented devices. Saakh solves this by bypassing the internet entirely. Using an innovative "Optical Airgap Protocol," data travels directly between phones using the device camera and secure QR codes. Whether you are a laborer logging daily hours, or a contractor verifying work, Saakh provides absolute transparency and trust without ever requiring a network connection. HOW IT WORKS (The 2-Way Handshake): Log Work (+): A laborer enters their daily hours and wage rate into the app, creating a "Pending" request as a QR code. Verify (📷): The contractor scans the laborer's QR code. The app instantly verifies the data and generates a mathematically signed "Response" QR code. Secure Proof: The laborer scans the contractor's response. The work is marked as "Verified ✅" and saved securely on the laborer's phone. KEY FEATURES: 🔹 100% Offline Functionality: No internet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth required. The app works flawlessly in the most remote areas. 🔹 Cryptographic Security: Built with Trust On First Use (TOFU) infrastructure. Every verified work entry acts as a secure digital receipt. 🔹 Bilingual Interface: Features a side-by-side English and Hindi (हिंदी) display to ensure total transparency between workers and contractors. 🔹 Absolute Privacy: No data is collected, tracked, or sent to cloud servers. Your work history stays securely on your physical device. 🔹 Easy Export: Generate a clean text summary of your verified ledger to share via WhatsApp with family, contractors, or legal aid if needed. WHO IS SAAKH FOR? Daily Wage Laborers: Keep an accurate, indisputable record of the hours worked and money owed. Contractors & Supervisors: Maintain clear, digitized agreements with workers without relying on easily lost physical notebooks. Migrant Workforce: Carry your digital credibility and work history safely in your pocket. Saakh is an open-source tool built to capture the essence of India, one software solution at a time. It represents the 'B' (Bihar) chapter of the A2Z Bharat initiative, focusing on solving regional problems. Take control of your hard work. Download Saakh today and build your credibility.
