Four rooms · one calm app
Everything you keep close, in one place.
Kala means fortress in Albanian and time in Sanskrit. The app is both: a calm planner for your days and a private place for the things that matter.
Documents vault
Photos of your IDs, contracts and insurance cards in one vault, behind a password — and Face ID or your fingerprint on the phone. It locks itself when you leave.

Technology
Built on proven, boring foundations.
Kala runs on Google Firebase in the EU. Here is the journey of one chat message — and an honest list of what Kala can and cannot see.
- 01You writeThe message is saved on your phone first, so Kala keeps working offline.On your device
- 02Sent securelyIt travels over an encrypted connection (TLS) to Google Firebase in Europe.Encrypted in transit
- 03Checked by rulesSecurity rules let only the people in the chat read or write it.Members only
- 04Read, then goneThe timer starts when your contact reads it. Then it is deleted, and a server job sweeps up leftovers.Deleted
Transparency
What Kala can and cannot see.
The shortest list we could make. If it is not on this table, we do not collect it.
| WHAT | WHO CAN SEE IT |
|---|---|
| Your tasks, notes and library | You only — never administrators |
| Your documents | You only — never administrators |
| Chat messages and photos | The people in the chat (reports aside) |
| Your phone number | Never asked |
| Your contacts | Read on your phone, never uploaded |
| Name, email, sign-in method | Yes — to run your account |
| Counts such as tasks per day | Yes — totals, not content |
Kala is not end-to-end encrypted: data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Google, and security rules limit who can read it. We say it plainly so you can decide what to keep here.

FAQ
Questions worth asking.
A privacy app should answer the hard questions first. Anything missing? Write to genti@eng.al.
What is Kala?
Kala is a free daily planner with notes, a documents vault, a library of books and films, private chats that disappear, and teams. It works in your browser today; the iPhone and Android apps are being released. It is made in Tirana, Albania.
Is Kala free?
Yes. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases and no ads.
Do I need a phone number?
No. You register with an email address or your Google account, and in chats you use a nickname.
Is Kala end-to-end encrypted?
No. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest by Google Firebase, and security rules limit who can read it. Administrators see counts, not content, and we do not read your messages — except the latest texts of a person that someone reports.
Who can see my notes, tasks and documents?
Only you. Kala administrators can see your name, email, sign-in method and counts such as tasks per day — never the content of your tasks, notes, library, documents or note photos.
Where is my data stored?
In Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging), in European regions (eur3 and europe-west1).
Can someone take a screenshot of a chat?
On the phone, Kala blocks screenshots in chats. In the browser it hides the chat when you switch away and blocks printing, as far as a browser allows.
Does Kala work offline?
Yes. The phone app opens and works without internet, and your changes sync when you are back online.
How do teams work?
Create a company, invite colleagues by email and make groups. When you share a note or a task, the receiver gets an email and decides whether to accept; only then does a copy appear in their Kala.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings → Delete account. It immediately deletes your profile, all your data and your sign-in account. You can also ask by email — see the delete-account page.
Which languages does Kala speak?
English and Italiano. The language follows your device, and you can change it in Settings → Language.
