WHAT'S INSIDE

Adulting Guide
Six life stages mapped out as checklists, from fresh grad (Unang Hakbang) all the way to retirement (Gintong Taon). Every checklist item opens a step-by-step walkthrough with current fees, required documents, and the offices you'll visit. Every guide that references a government process links back to the official agency website so you can always verify the source.

Government Office Finder
Over 1,000 BIR, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, LTO, DFA, and PSA offices across the Philippines. Tap "Find branches near me" and the app opens Google Maps with the right search already prefilled.

Taglish AI Assistant
Type your question the way you'd ask a friend. The assistant understands Filipino-English code-switching natively and knows the Sandalan guide content, so every answer can open the full walkthrough with its official source link.

Money Tracker
Log expenses and income in seconds. Multi-account balance tracking, budget reminders, goal tracker, bills, debts, and a simple net worth view.

Document Vault
One place for your TIN, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, PhilSys, passport, driver's license, and more. Searchable, offline-first, and 100% local. Vault contents are never uploaded to the cloud under any circumstance, even if you turn on cloud sync elsewhere in the app.

Achievements and Streaks
Daily check-ins, milestones, and a growing catalog of unlockables.

HOW IT'S PRICED
Sandalan is 100% free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no paid tiers, no locked features. Every tool is available to every user from day one. An optional "buy me a coffee" GCash QR and a voluntary rewarded ad are available if you want to support the app. Both are completely optional.

PRIVACY
Offline-first by default. Your data stays on your phone unless you explicitly turn on Cloud Sync in Settings. No tracking pixels, no ad networks watching you, no selling your data.

BUILT FOR PINOYS
Peso formatting, PH holidays, local categories, Taglish support, and content written with the Philippine context in mind. Made in the Philippines.
