How to make an app for a document writer

A document writer's office handles many small jobs a day: a rent agreement waiting for the tenant's ID, an affidavit to print, a deed draft due before a registry date. An app for the office lists each job, what is still missing, when it is due and what has been paid, so nothing waits forgotten in a pile.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The document writer and a typist or two, not customers. If staff use their own phones, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in; customers' IDs and property details are private.

The screens a document writer app needs

Today: Jobs due today and tomorrow, and jobs waiting for details from the customer
Jobs: Each job with customer, document type, parties, date needed, status and charges
New job: Pick the document type; the checklist of details and papers needed appears for that type
Waiting on customer: Jobs held up for a paper or detail, with what is missing and when it was asked for
Payments: Charges per job, paid, due, and the day's total in cash and UPI
Document types: Your list of document types with their checklist and usual charge

Features worth asking for

A checklist of details and papers for each document type
A WhatsApp button with a ready message listing what the customer still needs to send
A due-date view so drafts needed before a registry date are done first
A UPI QR for customers to pay your charges
A receipt PDF showing your charges separate from government fees
Hindi labels for typists who prefer them

Where the data lives

If only you use the app at the office, the data can stay on that phone. With typists on their own phones, connect your own Supabase database from the chat with sign-in, and keep ID numbers only as long as the job needs them.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Today, Jobs, New job, Waiting on customer, Payments.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your document writer, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my document writing office, Srivastava Document Services in Lucknow. Screens: today, jobs, new job, waiting on customer, payments and document types. Each job has customer name, phone, document type, parties, date needed, status (details pending, drafting, ready, collected) and charges. Each document type has a checklist of details and papers. WhatsApp button listing what is missing. UPI QR for payment, receipt as PDF with our charges and government fees separate. Hindi labels. Typists sign in. Maroon and cream colours.

Tips for a document writer app

Write the checklist for your five most common documents first; that's most of the day's work.
Mark a job 'details pending' the moment a paper is missing, so you know what to ask for.
Don't keep photos of customers' IDs or property papers in the app after the job is collected.
Keep your charges and government fees in separate fields, so receipts are clear.
Keep the drafts themselves in your usual typing software; the app tracks the jobs.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to the registry, e-stamping or court systems, and it doesn't draft legal documents for you or check them. The app tracks jobs, details and payments; drafting stays with you.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app write rent agreements for me?

No. The app tracks jobs, details and payments. You draft the document in your usual software; it doesn't produce or check legal documents.

Can the app book a registry appointment?

No. AppCub doesn't connect to registry or e-stamping systems. You can note the appointment date on the job.

Can each document type have its own checklist?

Yes. Ask for document types with their own list of details and papers, shown when you start a new job.

Can customers pay my charges by UPI in the app?

Yes. The app can show your UPI QR or a Pay via UPI button; the money goes to your account.

Can my typist see the jobs on their phone?

Yes, once the app uses your own Supabase database with sign-in. Each typist sees the jobs and updates the status.

Can the app show which customers still owe papers?

Yes. The waiting on customer screen lists jobs held up, what is missing and when you asked.
