Adashe app: contributions and rotation for your adashe
Nyocte is a free adashe app. Record contributions, follow the rotation, run meetings and votes, and keep the record open to every member of the adashe.
What it is
What is a adashe?
Also known as: asusu, adashi
Adashe (also asusu) is the rotating contribution tradition of Hausa-speaking communities in northern Nigeria and Niger. Members contribute a fixed amount at set intervals, and the pooled sum is paid to one member per round. Adashe groups form in markets, among women's associations, and among colleagues.
The organizer keeps the record and reminds members in person or by phone. Nyocte gives the group a shared record, reminders, and a place to decide together, in Hausa or English.

Before you start
Pertanyaan umum
Is Nyocte free for a adashe?
Yes. The app is free for every group, with no member limit and no premium tier. Payment processing, where your group chooses to use it, is handled by a payment provider and can carry a fee. Record-keeping, meetings, votes, and chat cost nothing.
Does Nyocte hold the group's money?
No. Nyocte keeps the record. Contributions can still be collected the way your adashe already collects them: cash at the meeting, bank transfer, or mobile money. Where in-app payments are available, they are processed by a licensed payment provider and Nyocte does not hold funds.
Is the app available in Hausa?
Yes. Nyocte's app includes Hausa, and each member chooses their own language.
Can we keep a separate savings fund?
Yes. A group can keep several accounts, each with its own record.
