BitShack is a South African hub of free and low-cost web apps. It includes FitVoice (invoicing and accounting), Guard (security management), PropSpec (property specification reports), GroupOrder Bot (WhatsApp group orders), Uhoho (ride-hailing with driver protection), Best Buddy (community crowdfunding), TripTally (travel expenses), BidAll (online auctions), ScrapReg (second-hand goods register) and IQme (offline brain games).
Most are free to start. FitVoice has a 30-day free trial, then R50 a month. Some apps charge the business side, such as auctioneers on BidAll or drivers on Uhoho. Each app’s page explains its pricing.
No. BitShack apps are Progressive Web Apps: they run in your browser and you can add them to your home screen with one tap. No Play Store or App Store needed.
Most do. The apps keep their core files on your phone, so they open quickly and keep working on a weak or patchy connection — useful with South African data costs and load shedding.
Yes. BitShack Dev, the studio behind these apps, builds custom web apps, PWAs and WhatsApp tools for South African businesses. See pricing.
