How to start

Drawing in five minutes

No computer needed. Everything happens on the phone or tablet you already use.

  1. Install it

    Install Kiyo Aari on your Android phone or tablet and tell it your shop's name. There is no account to create.

  2. Draw your first design

    Open the Design Studio, choose a work area such as a back neck, and tap in flowers and leaves; mirror draws the other side.

  3. Take the first order

    Choose the customer, add the work and the function date, take the advance and share the slip.

  4. Add Pro when you need it

    Subscribe to Pro inside the app, through Google Play or the App Store, for ₹499 a month or ₹4,990 a year. New subscribers get the first 7 days free.

Your data and your plan

Your designs stay on your phone. Your plan stays with your store account.

Kiyo Aari has no Kiyosoft server and no account. Pro is a Google Play or App Store subscription, and backups are encrypted with a key that only your phone and your own Google or Apple account hold. Your customers, orders and drawings never reach us.

Your designs stay on your phone

Customers, measurements, orders, drawings and the photos you trace are kept in the app on your phone. Kiyo Aari has no server holding them.

Kiyosoft never sees your designs or your customers.

New phone?

Restore your backup on the new phone. The key that opens it comes back from your Google or Apple account, or you type in the recovery code, and Pro comes back with it.

Keep the recovery code somewhere safe: without the key, a backup cannot be opened.

If you cancel Pro

Cancel at any time in Google Play or the App Store. Pro lasts to the end of the period you paid for, then the extras pause and the app goes back to Free. You keep everything you entered and drew, and subscribing again brings them back.

Questions

What Aari workers ask us

Something else? Write to info@kiyosoft.com and a person will answer, in English or Tamil.

Is the free version really free?

Yes, for as long as you like. Customers and measurements, up to 50 open orders at a time, payments, and the Design Studio with every drawing tool and up to 10 saved drawings, in English and Tamil. Pro adds the extras on this page.

Where is my data kept?

Only on your phone. Kiyo Aari has no server holding your customers, orders or drawings, so we could not see them if we wanted to. Backups, drawings and photos included, are encrypted with your own key; copy one off the phone now and then.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no Kiyosoft account to create. Kiyo Aari makes a key for your shop on your phone and saves it to your own Google account or iCloud Keychain; your backups are encrypted with it, and your Pro subscription is kept under an anonymous ID worked out from it. Write down the recovery code the app shows you, in case the key does not come back by itself on a new phone.

Can I print the design at its real size?

Yes, with Pro. The design prints at its true size on A4: a bigger one is split across pages that overlap by 1 cm, to line up and tape, and every page has a 10 cm bar to check the printer did not shrink it. There is a mirror print, and a tracing stencil with dotted lines for pin-prick and powder transfer.

Can I draw with a pen?

Yes. On an Android phone or tablet that takes a pen, the pen draws and your fingers move and zoom the drawing. A finger draws just as well if you have no pen.

Is there an iPhone or iPad version?

Kiyo Aari is on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. The App Store version for iPhone and iPad is on its way, and this page will link to it when it is there.

Does it send WhatsApp messages by itself?

No. Kiyo Aari opens WhatsApp or the share sheet with the message or picture filled in, and you press send. Nothing goes out without you.

Does it need the internet?

No. Drawing, printing, orders and bills all work offline. The app goes online only when you share something, and to check your Pro subscription with Google Play or the App Store.

How do I pay?

Inside the app, through Google Play on Android or the App Store on an iPhone, with the payment methods your store account offers. Pro is ₹499 a month or ₹4,990 a year, GST included, and the store sends the receipt.

What does Pro add?

Everything marked Pro on this page: unlimited orders and drawings, photo tracing, true-size print and stencils, WhatsApp reminders, bills and GST invoices, materials and suppliers, the design catalogue, reports, Aari classes, your brand only on what you share, and your karigars, with piece-rate and daily wages, work given out and payslips.

Can I try it first?

Yes. The free version is yours for as long as you like, and new subscribers to Pro get the first 7 days free. Cancel in Google Play or the App Store before the 7 days end and you are not charged.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

Pro renews each month or year until you cancel it in Google Play or the App Store. It then lasts to the end of the period you paid for, and the app goes back to Free. You keep everything you entered and drew, and subscribing again brings the extras back.

Can I get a refund?

Pro is paid to Google Play or Apple, so refunds go through them, under their refund policies. See Refunds in the small print for how to ask.
