Bank accounts on invoices, note for tenants, redesigned tenant list + 3 more updates
v1.10.1
Three new things in v1.10.1 you’ll notice right away — bank/e-wallet accounts printed automatically on every invoice, default notes you type once, and a tenant list you can search with payment status per tenant. Plus 3 supporting updates.
Bank accounts on invoices
The bank account numbers you used to type into Catatan every time you made an invoice — now typed once in Profile → Finance & payments → Bank & e-wallet. Up to 3 accounts (primary bank, backup, e-wallet). Whatever’s switched on automatically appears in the invoice PDF footer + WhatsApp payment message.
This feature came from three separate kos owners asking for the exact same thing.
Note for tenants, typed once
That closing sentence on invoices/receipts that’s always the same — set the default once in Profile → Message & note templates, and it auto-fills every new document. Still editable per document. Defaults are separated between invoice and receipt because the context differs: invoices are usually about payment reminders, receipts about thank-yous. Free for everyone.
Redesigned tenant list
The Tenants page now shows payment status (Paid / Partial / Late / Unpaid), stay badges, and full room names per tenant. Plus a search feature — search icon in the filter chip row, search by name, phone, email, ID number, or room number. Two columns on tablet.
Now the Tenants page answers “who owes me money” without tapping into each one.
Plus 3 more updates
1. Archive expense category. Default categories (Electricity, Water, etc.) can now be archived to keep the picker tidy — expenses using that category stay intact, past reports still read right.
2. Improve device sync: now in background. Sync existed before but only ran on cold start + pull-to-refresh. Now it’s automatic in the background — record a payment on your phone, and 45 seconds later your iPad updates without a manual refresh.
3. Improve booking status: check-in no longer locks after DP. Tenant paid a DP for a booking and now asks to reschedule the move-in? You can now edit check-in date directly on the form. Before, the date locked on any payment — even a DP that anchors no date.
Important fixes
- Default grace period is now 1 day (was 5). Owners who never manually set it move to 1 day.
- Check-in dates at month-end (30/31) no longer drift after February.
- Prepaid periods now record correctly in reports — server fixed + backfilled.
- Multi-month invoices (quarterly/yearly) in accrual reports now correct — used to recognize all in month 1, now split per month.
- Pasting phone numbers from WhatsApp no longer corrupts them — the +62 851-… that used to become +62 628 51… (doubled country code, 2 digits lost) is now safe.
And plenty of other small fixes that make Kamaru better.
What you see is only part of it ❤️
This update has a lot in plain sight — Bank accounts, Notes, redesigned tenant list. But most of the actual work is behind the scenes: default grace period we changed from 5 to 1 day after surveying 36 owners, check-in anchor that no longer drifts after February, prepay from 4 owners that was undercounted and we backfilled on the server. Work you probably didn’t know was happening.
If Kamaru feels more stable, more accurate, less worrying — that’s the result of work that usually isn’t visible. We’re a small team, self-funded, no investors. The only way we know what’s worth continuing is if you tell us.
Two ways we build Kamaru together:
- Profile → Feature request — straight from the app, straight to our inbox. We’ll continue the conversation via WhatsApp or Email.
- Review on the store — 20 seconds. Beyond helping the app climb the rankings, a review is a signal to us that the polish + fixes in the background are worth continuing.
We read every review — so if this update landed for you (even just one small part), please tell us.

Payment status on the calendar, double booking prevention, occupant roster + 5 more updates
v1.10.0
Three new things in v1.10.0 that you’ll notice right away, payment status colours on the calendar, a warning when a room is already booked by someone else, and a proper occupant roster per lease. Plus 5 supporting updates for everyday work.
Payment status on the Calendar
Each rent period on the calendar now has its own colour based on payment status, Paid, Partial, Late, or Unpaid. Open the calendar and you can see at a glance who’s settled and who needs chasing. The colours carry through to the PDF export.
This feature came from a request by a landlord in Maluku, 14 June 2026.
Prevent double booking
Adding a tenant to a room whose dates were already taken, that used to save silently. Now the app warns you (or blocks the save) when a new lease overlaps in time with an existing one on the same unit. A 1–31 July stay conflicts with one starting 15 July, even though no single date is typed twice.
Set it under Tenants → Prevent double booking: Warn only (default), Block save, or Off. Same-day turnover still works. Free for everyone, not just for Pro accounts, this is about preventing fundamental mistakes, not adding a premium extra.
This feature also came from a landlord’s request.
Record every occupant, not just the count
Rooms shared by a couple, siblings, or a group of friends used to just show up as “Guest count = 2 or 3”. Now each occupant can be recorded individually: name, phone, email. Raise the guest count on the Add/Edit tenant form and a ”+ Add occupant” button appears. Autocompletes against your existing person records.
Shows on the tenant card as stacked avatars with “Name +N”, tap to see everyone.
A Pro feature. You unlock it by raising the guest count on the tenant form. If you later lapse to Free, the roster entries you’ve already made stay editable, nothing is lost.
This feature also came from a landlord’s request.
Plus 5 more updates
1. FAQ page in Profile. Five of the most-asked questions. Profile → More → FAQ. Content is server-side, so answers can be updated without a new release.
2. Invoice due date control. Preset in Add/Edit Invoice: Rent period start (default), 1, 3, 7, 15, or 30 days. Each option shows the actual resolved date that will be used. For DP/booking invoices, the default now anchors to check-in. Plus an automatic payment note in the PDF (Simple + Professional).
3. Document display settings. Profile → Settings → Document template, 7 switches for what shows on Invoice/Receipt/deposit return (logo, address, phone, email, check-in/out, remaining period). “See example” button for an instant preview. Free.
4. Note per tenant vehicle. Each vehicle entry now carries a Note field (250 chars), for colour, whose it is, which parking slot.
5. “Add expense” shortcut from the property/room card. Long-press a card → menu → Add expense. Long-pressing a room card pre-fills the room.
Fixes worth mentioning
- “Booked” now shows for every upcoming tenant, not just DP-paid ones.
- Arrears report agrees with the room badge, no more “room Late, Arrears Rp 0” mismatch.
- Cash-basis income includes prepaid periods. If your tenants often prepay, that month’s income will read higher than before.
- Editing an Invoice no longer silently rewrites the due date.
And plenty of other small fixes that make Kamaru better.
The people building this app are all of you ❤️
Three main features in this update, Payment status on the Calendar, Prevent double booking, and Occupant roster, all came from landlord requests. Take one example: payment status colours on the calendar. It came from one WhatsApp message from a landlord in Maluku, 14 June 2026. He asked for a red marker for late periods. We thought “why not do all four statuses?”, and that’s the feature you now see on your calendar.
This isn’t a special story. It’s the pattern we want more of: you speak, we listen, features appear. Kamaru is built by a small team without investors, we don’t have a UX research department, so you’re the one who knows what’s missing.
Two ways we build Kamaru together:
- Profile → Feature request, straight from the app, straight to our inbox. We’ll continue the conversation via WhatsApp or Email.
- Review on the store, 20 seconds, but a good review = higher ranking = more owners discovering Kamaru → more feedback = more features that people actually use.
So if there’s one thing that makes your life harder in this app, please tell us. The next update might have your idea in it.

Additional charges & Discounts! Plus 3 other updates
v1.8.0
v1.8.0 brings two of the most-requested features: Additional charges and Discounts. Rent is no longer just about the room price — electricity, water, internet, and laundry can all be billed cleanly, and you can offer discounts to tenants without making the numbers messy.
Additional charges: bill electricity, water, internet, and more
For a long time, many of you have been billing electricity or water through separate notes. Now all of that becomes an official part of the rent.
Each tenant can have recurring charges (billed each period — e.g. Electricity Rp 100k/month) or one-time charges (single period only — e.g. Extra bed). You’re free to change the rate going forward, or override it for just one period.
In the Lease detail, each charge appears as its own line with its own paid status — so it’s clear which ones are paid and which aren’t. Additional charges also automatically flow into Record payment, can be included in formal Invoices, and are tracked per category in the financial report (Electricity, Water, Laundry — each read separately from rent).
Tenant not using the service for a particular month? Tap the charge in the Lease detail and pick Remove this period only — the charge is skipped for that one period, and the next period continues as normal. If the service stops for good, pick Remove permanently — the charge stops from your chosen period forward (past periods stay intact in your records).
Additional charges is a Pro feature. Existing data stays editable and deletable even if you switch back to the free plan.
Discounts: give a break, stay transparent
Often give special pricing — yearly commitment, holiday promo, or per-tenant negotiation? Now there’s Discounts.
Give a discount as a fixed amount (Rp) or a percentage (%) on rent or on additional charges. What’s different: the original price still shows in full on the receipt, the discount appears as its own line, and only then comes the final total — so the tenant can see the math for themselves. No numbers “quietly” changing.
Using the same discount often? Save it as a favorite discount — next time just pick from the list, no need to retype.
Discounts is free for everyone. We deliberately didn’t gate this behind Pro — because this is about your transparency to tenants, and that matters for every owner.
Plus 3 other updates
1. Multiple rent price options per property/room. One room can have more than one price — e.g. Rp 500k/day, Rp 1M/week, Rp 1.5M/month. When you add a tenant, just pick the one that fits.
2. Cleaner invoices & receipts. When a single invoice covers several consecutive rent periods, they’re now automatically merged into one concise line — no more long list of repeating rows.
3. Export reports to Excel. Financial Report, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet can now be exported to .xlsx — on top of the existing PDF and CSV.

Per-period rent price changes and 4 more updates
v1.7.4
This update bundles v1.7.3 + v1.7.4 — the main focus is per-period rent price control, plus 4 more updates that improve how you communicate with tenants and read your reports.
Per-period rent price changes
You can now change rent prices with per-period precision — the new price only applies to the period you choose, and your payment history and past period reports stay intact.
A. Apply from a specific period onward
Open Actions → Change rent & period → enter the new amount + select “Apply from period N” in the dropdown. Defaults to the current period. Good for annual rent increases or cost adjustments.
B. Override just one period
Tap a Rent period row on the obligation card → Change this period’s price. Good for a one-month Eid discount or specific compensation without affecting other periods.
Periods that already have payments are auto-locked — menu disabled, field read-only, save guard re-checks on Save. Your existing payment records stay accurate.
Notes for tenants on receipts
When recording a payment, you now get two separate notes fields: Notes for tenant (printed on the receipt PDF you share) and Internal notes (only you see them).
Notes for tenants work well for thank-you messages or context. Internal notes work for your own reminders. They appear in Record payment, Edit payment, and Add Tenant — both optional, max 200 chars, multiline.
Short descriptions for properties & rooms
Each property and room can carry a short description (max 100 chars) you can optionally print on PDF documents — e.g. “Female boarding house near campus” on a property, “AC, ensuite bathroom” on a room.
Tick “Show description on documents like receipts” → it appears on payment receipts, invoices, and deposit refund proofs. Off → it only serves as a subtitle in the detail screen’s app bar — internal only.
Per-property phone number
Each property can now carry its own contact phone — useful when you have different managers per location or want to separate business numbers from personal.
Set it up in Add/Edit Property step 2 (master toggle + a “Same as registered account phone” option). The number shows up on PDF documents (receipts, invoices, deposit proofs), in the WhatsApp invoice message, and on the property profile. Change your account phone in Profile → every property still set to “same as account” auto-syncs.
Accrual mode in financial reports
The Dashboard + Financial Report now have a Cash / Accrual toggle in the filter row.
- Cash (default) — income counted when money actually arrives
- Accrual — income counted as it’s earned, over the rental period
Example: a tenant pays 6 months upfront in January. Cash mode → January spikes at $6,000, February–June at $0. Accrual mode → each month evenly counts $1,000 across the stay. Good for month-to-month comparisons (apple-to-apple) or understanding what’s truly “earned” per month regardless of when it was paid.
What follows the toggle: dashboard income + Financial Report. What stays cash-pinned: Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, Transaction History. An “Accounting method differences” explainer is available via the (i) icon in the report header.

New Invoice system! Plus deposits, down payments, and 8 more updates
v1.7.0
v1.7.0 introduces new systems for Invoices, Deposits, and Down payments — plus 8 more updates.
Invoices: formal documents for your tenants
New tab in tenant details. You can now create formal invoices whenever you need them — to send to a tenant, attach for tax filing, or keep for your records. Your primary records still live in lease + payments; invoices sit on top as documents.
What’s new:
- Record payments directly from the lease. No need to create an invoice first. Enter the amount + date, and the system handles the allocation.
- Payments auto-cascade. Each payment splits automatically: DP first until covered → Deposit until covered → the rest to Rent. Reports stay accurate per category.
- Formal invoices on demand.
+ Invoiceon the tenant’s Invoices tab: pick items (Rent for period X / Down payment / Deposit / Extra), save, share. For formal documents, not every month. - Smart mark-as-paid. Calculates the actual remaining balance, including any existing payments from before this update.
- “Invoices” tab in the tenant detail: all formal invoices you’ve created, with real-time status (Unpaid / Partial / Paid / Overdue).
Send invoices via WhatsApp or email
Actions › Send invoice → message auto-prepared from a template. Share to WhatsApp (opens chat to the tenant’s number with the text pre-filled), Email, Copy, or Others. Plus every invoice can be exported as a formal PDF to attach separately.
Deposits: handled as a liability (held funds)
Proper accounting treatment. Plenty of owners panic when a tenant checks out and asks for their deposit back — the root cause: deposits easily get mixed with income. Kamaru now handles the deposit cycle with the right category:
- Receive deposit → recorded as “Deposit held” (a liability), not income.
- At checkout, deduct for damages or unpaid rent — each deduction has an amount + note + date. The deducted portion becomes income at that point.
- Refund the remainder → recorded as cash out.
- Deduction proof PDF can be shared directly with the tenant.
The effect is real: the profit you see in your reports is actual profit (not inflated by deposits you’ll eventually have to return), and the Balance Sheet shows exactly how much you’re holding.
Down payments: a separate obligation on the lease
DP has its own place now. Down payments (DP) are now a separate obligation on the lease — no longer folded into regular rent payments.
- Dedicated “Down payment” section when adding a tenant — enter the DP directly on the lease, no need to calculate it as part of the first month’s rent.
- Payments auto-allocate to DP first. When the tenant pays, the system fills the DP obligation before Deposit/Rent — no more miscategorized payments.
- In reports, DPs stand alone — the Cash Flow report shows “Down payment” as a cash source distinct from “Rent”.
- When you create a formal invoice, DP gets its own line (not mixed with rent).
The result: three concepts that often get tangled in manual records — rent, DP, and deposit — now each stand on their own.
Financial reports: rebuilt too
With Invoices and Deposits restructured at the foundation, the reports dashboard changed too: 3 separate reports + Transaction History + custom date range filter.
Financial Report
P&L-style: target revenue, collected, outstanding, collection rate, expenses by category, net income, occupancy, per-property breakdown. Plus two new sections:
- AR aging — buckets: not yet due / 0–30 / 31–60 / 61–90 / 90+ days. Finally know who’s been overdue the longest.
- Liabilities (Deposit held) — appears when there’s an active deposit (derived from the Deposit change above).
Cash Flow Report
New report. Specifically for tracking money in and out:
- Cash in by source: Rent / Down payment / Extra / Deposit deductions / Deposit held
- Cash out by expense category + Deposit refunds
- Net cash computed automatically
- Filter by type, month, property
Good for reconciling against your bank statements.
Balance Sheet (Financial Position)
Another new report. A snapshot of where you stand today — total deposits you’re holding, with breakdown per tenant.
Transaction History
New screen. A flat list of all transactions without summaries, with filters for type / period / property. Good for line-by-line cross-checks or audits.
Custom date range filter
Beyond “This month” / “1 year”, you can now pick a custom date range (e.g. March 15 – April 14). Useful for accounting cycles that don’t line up with calendar months.
Full export
Everything can be exported to PDF (A4) or CSV (Excel / Sheets).
These reports are Pro features. Free users see a preview with sample data.
Small improvements that help
- Quarterly invoices (3-month period) — payment periods are now complete: daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, 6-monthly, yearly.
- Property logo on PDF documents — upload your property logo once, and it shows up automatically on invoices, receipts, and deposit refund proofs.
- Export occupancy calendar to PDF — Gantt-style per month or year, with a toggle for tenant names.
Under the hood
- iOS is now full Swift Package Manager (CocoaPods removed entirely). Faster builds, cleaner dependencies.
- Image compression rebuilt with the pure-Dart
imagepackage. Lighter, with correct output dimensions. - Plus hundreds of small polishes — from the
AddPaymentScreenlayout, to room number sorting that’s now natural (101<102, not the old lexical order).

Big update: 5 properties on the free plan! Calendar now does weekly & monthly!
v1.6.1
Two big changes you’ve been asking for, plus a handful of behind-the-scenes improvements.
The headlines:
- Kamaru’s free plan now covers 5 properties — up from 2.
- The occupancy calendar now has 3 view modes: Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
Let’s get into it.
Free plan now covers 5 properties
Before, the free plan only fit 2 properties. Now, 5.
Why the bump? Because “property” means different things depending on what you’re renting out. A kos (boarding house) owner usually has many rooms inside a single property — 2 was usually enough to start. But for kontrakan (rental homes) and villa owners, each unit is its own property. Anyone with 3 villas or 4 kontrakan units would hit the free-plan ceiling immediately, just because of how it’s counted.
Kamaru isn’t just for kos. Kontrakan, villa, mixed-use — they all deserve enough room to take a real test drive before deciding to upgrade.
Here’s how it works now:
- 1–5 properties — free forever
- More than 5 properties — Pro (which still gets you financial reports, expense tracking, PDF exports, and priority support)
If you already have 3, 4, or 5 properties and got locked out before — once you update, they all unlock. Nothing to configure, just works.
Calendar: Daily, Weekly, Monthly
The occupancy calendar used to have just one mode: 1 column = 1 day. Great for day-use, short stays, or airbnb. But if you rent out yearly leases, you’d need to scroll forever to see one from start to finish — or to answer “from May to August, which rooms are booked?”
Now there’s a new view-mode button in the calendar’s filter bar. Pick one of three:
- Daily — 1 column = 1 day. The default. Best for day-use, weekly stays, or airbnb.
- Weekly — 1 column = 1 week (anchored to Monday). Fits 2–3 months on screen — ideal for monthly rentals.
- Monthly — 1 column = 1 month. For yearly or multi-year leases, see your entire portfolio end-to-end.
What I love most: lease bars stay proportional to actual dates. Whatever mode you’re in, the bar’s length tells the real duration — a 6-month lease is twice as long as a 3-month one. Tap-to-add-lease also snaps to the period: Weekly mode lands on the Monday of that week, Monthly on day 1 of that month.
Your chosen mode is remembered too — it doesn’t reset to the default every time you open the app.
Bonus: scrolling is way smoother
If you own properties with lots of rooms, the calendar used to feel a bit laggy when scrolling. I rebuilt how rows render from scratch — now scrolling is smooth, animations don’t stutter, and tap-to-add still responds instantly. Daily mode benefits the most.
What else?
A few smaller things you’ve asked about:
- Offline indicator — A small strip at the bottom of the screen pops up when your internet drops, and confirms when you’re back online. Your first action after reconnecting won’t hang on a stale auth token.
- Upcoming tenants on property and room cards — Vacant units with future bookings now show “N upcoming tenants” so you don’t miss who’s about to check in.
- Day-use — For same-day rentals like daytime villas or hourly hotels, you can now record check-in at 14:00 and check-out at 20:00 on the same date. The calendar automatically tags those bars as “Day-use”.
- Per-period payment status — Once a tenant pays month 1 in full, the lease shows “Paid” for that period. When month 2 begins, it automatically flips back to “Unpaid”. No manual reset. Payment receipts still show the status at the time of the transaction.
- Late status can be turned off — If you don’t mind a tenant being a day or two late and don’t want notifications about it, go to Settings → Finance → Late status and switch it off. Leases won’t flip to “Late” anymore, and the related notifications stop.
- Region setting in your profile, alongside the language setting. For users running the app outside its default country, you can now set this manually.
Plus a lot of bug fixes and small polish — especially around iPad and Android cold start.

Split expenses across multiple months
This feature was requested directly by Kamaru users. Some of you told us: “I pay for Wi-Fi annually, but it only shows up in one month’s report. Can it be split evenly?”
Absolutely. We listened, and now it’s here.
Pay $1,200 for annual Wi-Fi in January. That month’s report spikes, while the rest show zero. But in reality, you’re using that Wi-Fi every single month.
Now, you can split expenses across multiple months — and your reports will finally reflect the real cost.
Have a feature idea or suggestion? Reach out to us — we read every piece of feedback.
What’s it good for?
- Annual Wi-Fi or internet
- Community or security fees
- Property insurance
- AC or elevator maintenance contracts
- Taxes paid in a lump sum
Basically, any expense that’s paid once but used over many months.
How it works
When recording an expense, just toggle on “Split into months”:
- Enter the total expense amount as usual
- Turn on the Split into months toggle
- Set the number of months (2–60 months 😱)
- Kamaru automatically splits it evenly across each month
For example: $1,200 split over 12 months = $100/month. Done. Your financial report now reflects the actual monthly cost.
Precise splitting
No need to worry about rounding. Kamaru handles it automatically:
- Zero-decimal currencies (IDR, JPY, etc.) — The rounding remainder goes to the first month. Example: Rp1,000,000 ÷ 12 = Rp83,337 + 11 × Rp83,333
- Decimal currencies (USD, EUR, etc.) — Same logic, total always exact
The total you entered always matches the sum of all installments exactly. No more, no less.
Preview the monthly breakdown
Before saving, you can view the full monthly breakdown — each installment’s date and amount. So you know exactly where your money is recorded.
More accurate reports
All installments show up as regular expenses in your financial and cash flow reports. Nothing changes about how you read reports — the data just becomes more accurate.
Amortized expenses are marked with a special icon, so you can still tell which ones are regular and which are split from a larger payment.

Track expenses, know your net income
Know how much income you made this month? Sure. But do you know how much you spent? Electricity, water, repairs, maintenance — it’s all either tracked manually or not tracked at all. So you never really know your net profit.
That’s why we’re happy to introduce Expense Tracking, now available in Kamaru.
Record expenses
Record all your property expenses directly in Kamaru. Each expense can be linked to:
- Property — Expense for a specific property
- Room — Room-specific expense (optional)
- Category — Choose from 30+ built-in categories or create your own
- Amount, date, and notes — Fill in details as needed
Need to record multiple expenses at once? Use the Save & Add Another button to keep the form open after saving.
30+ built-in categories
No need to create categories from scratch. Kamaru comes with 30+ categories commonly used by property owners:
Electricity, water, AC, internet, repairs, paint, labor, security, taxes, and many more.
Need a custom category? Just add a new one anytime. You can also rename or delete categories you don’t need.
Expense list
View all your expenses in a single filterable list:
- Period — This month, 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year
- Property — All properties or a specific one
- Room — All rooms or a specific one
Tap an expense to view details, or long-press to edit, duplicate, or delete.
Expenses in Report Overview
Expenses now also appear in the Report Overview:
- Total expenses — Total expenses for the current period with a bar chart showing 6 or 12 months’ trend, plus period-over-period comparison
- Net income — Income minus expenses, instantly see profit or loss
- Property comparison — Now shows expenses and net profit per property
Cash flow report
The cash report is now the Cash Flow Report with more detail:
- Mixed transactions — Income and expenses in one list, sorted newest first
- Type filter — Filter by “All”, “Income”, or “Expenses”
- Summary — Total income, total expenses, and net balance
PDF and CSV export
All reports that include expense data can be exported:
- Financial Report — Now includes expense breakdown by category and net income
- Cash Flow Report — Includes all income and expense transactions
Export format stays the same — PDF ready to print and CSV for spreadsheet analysis.
Available now
Expense Tracking is available in the latest version of Kamaru for Android and iOS. All expense recording and reporting features are available for Pro users. Free users can preview reports with sample data.
Update your app now!
For a complete guide on how to use expense tracking, see the Expense Tracking user guide.
Introducing financial reports
Own multiple properties but unsure how much income you actually made this month? Who’s behind on rent? What’s your occupancy rate? Manually calculating from payment records is time-consuming and error-prone.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Financial Reports, now available in Kamaru.
Report Overview
The Report Overview is your central hub for property financial information. Open the Reports tab in the bottom navigation bar and get the big picture at a glance:
- Income — Total income for the current period with a bar chart showing the last 6 or 12 months’ trend, plus month-over-month comparison (up or down by what percentage)
- Occupancy rate — Percentage of occupied units out of your total units
- Overdue payments — Total unpaid charges and how many tenants are behind
- Overdue tenants — List of tenants with overdue, partial, or unpaid status
- Recent transactions — Latest payments received
- Property comparison — Side-by-side cards comparing income, overdue amounts, and occupancy across properties
Period and property filters
Customize the view to suit your needs:
- Period — Choose “This Month” for monthly data, or “1 Year” for rolling 12-month data
- Property — View all properties at once or filter by a specific property
Financial summary
Need a more detailed report? Tap View Report on the Report Overview to go to the Financial Summary page. Here you can see:
- Target income vs collected income vs overdue amount

Track rental payments with ease
Managing rental payments from multiple tenants can get messy. Who’s paid? Who’s late? Which periods are covered? Tracking it all manually in spreadsheets or notebooks makes it easy to miss payments or miscalculate.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Payment Tracking, now available in Kamaru.
Record payments in seconds
Adding a new payment only takes a few taps. Select the lease, enter the amount, choose the method (cash or transfer), and save. Kamaru automatically calculates the payment status and which periods are covered.
Automatic payment status
No more manually checking who’s paid. Kamaru displays payment status with color-coded badges:
- Unpaid (gray) — No payment recorded yet
- Partial (yellow) — Some payment made but not fully paid
- Paid (green) — Payment complete
- Late (red) — Past the grace period (tolerance window after due date)
These badges appear everywhere: in the property list, tenant cards, and lease details. You can instantly see which ones need follow-up.
Payment period breakdown
Each time you record a payment, Kamaru shows which periods will be covered. If a tenant pays for 2 months at once, you can see the breakdown before confirming.
This is especially useful for tracking partial payments or advance payments covering multiple periods.
Payment settings
Customize settings to match your needs:
- Late status — Set how many days/weeks before a payment is considered late. You can also turn it off entirely if you’d rather skip “Late” labels (handy when you tolerate a day or two of slippage)
- Currency — Choose from 16 currencies including IDR, USD, SGD, MYR, and more
Other improvements
Night stay counter
The “Occupied” badge in the property list is now replaced with a night counter. You can see how many nights a lease covers—or an infinity symbol (∞) for open-ended leases.
Quick action menu
Long-press on a property or room card for quick access to Edit, Duplicate, or Delete. No need to open details first for simple actions.
Tenant contact shortcuts
On the tenant detail page, there are now direct buttons for WhatsApp, phone, SMS, and email. Communicating with tenants just got easier.
Available now
Payment Tracking and all the improvements above are available in the latest version of Kamaru for Android and iOS. Update your app today!
For a detailed walkthrough on how to use payment tracking, check out our Payment Tracking user guide.
May 2026 update — Payment status is now calculated per period, not cumulatively. Once a tenant pays month 1 in full, the lease shows “Paid” for that period; when month 2 begins, it automatically flips back to “Unpaid” with no manual reset. The old “Grace period” setting was renamed to “Late status” and can also be turned off entirely. Details in our v1.6.1 release post.
Introducing the occupancy calendar
Managing multiple properties means juggling countless lease dates, tenant schedules, and vacant periods. Keeping track of it all in your head—or worse, on paper—can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Occupancy Calendar, now available in Kamaru.
See your entire portfolio at a glance
The Occupancy Calendar gives you a visual timeline of all your leases across every property. No more switching between screens or checking individual rooms to find out who’s staying where and when.
- View occupancy schedules in a horizontal timeline
- See all properties together or filter by specific property and room
- Quickly identify vacant periods and overlapping leases
Manage leases directly from the calendar
The calendar isn’t just for viewing—it’s built for action. Tap any date to add a new lease, or tap an existing lease to see tenant details. Everything you need is just a tap away.
Works for all rental types
Whether you rent out entire properties or individual rooms, the calendar adapts to your setup. Whole-property rentals show as a single timeline, while per-room properties display each room separately.
Available now
The Occupancy Calendar is available in the latest version of Kamaru on both Android and iOS. Update your app to start using it today.
For a detailed walkthrough on how to use the calendar, check out our Occupancy Calendar user guide.
May 2026 update — The calendar now has three view modes: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. Ideal for long-term leases or seeing your entire portfolio in one screen. Details in our v1.6.1 release post.
