What Rotaro does, and what comes next
Everything here is marked plainly. “Available now” is in the app today. “Coming next” is being built, and we will not call it ready until it is.
For members
You pay in, you receive your turn, and you see the same record as everyone else.
- Available now
As many groups as you like
Your home screen shows every group you are in, its status and when you collect.
- Available now
One shared record
Every payment, confirmation and decision is on a record every member reads, and the app shows whether the record checks out.
- Available now
Mark a payment, the recipient confirms
Pay the round's recipient by bank transfer, tap "I have paid", and it counts once they confirm.
- Available now
Pay for someone else
Paid for a relative or a friend? Say so, and both names go on the record.
- Available now
Reminders in the app and by email
A reminder comes before each due date, in the app's inbox and by email, the way you choose.
- Available now
Disputes on the record
Raise a dispute from the payment itself and say what happened; the outcome is recorded for everyone to see.
- Available now
A photo or document with a dispute
Add a photo of your transfer or a receipt, or a PDF, to your side of a dispute. Everyone in the group can open it.
- Available now
A draw you can check
When the payout order is drawn, the app shows the draw's seed and the names in the order they went in, so you can check the draw yourself with our free tool.
- Available now
Statements to download
Download your group's statement as a spreadsheet file that opens in Excel, or as a PDF to print or keep: every payment and every pot of the rotation, for your own records.
- Available now
A say in every change
A change to the amount, currency or rhythm happens only when every member agrees in the app.
- Available now
Guarantors
Where the group asks for one, a member with an early turn names another member who stands behind their payments.
- Available now
Works in your browser
Rotaro runs on the web today, on any phone or computer, with nothing to install.
- Available now
Your data stays in your country
Each country has its own servers and its own database.

Text-message reminders
A reminder by text before each due date, for members who prefer it.

App Store and Google Play apps
Rotaro on your phone as an app, with reminders as notifications.
- Coming next
A payment record you choose to share
A plain count of the payments you made on time in past groups, which you can choose to show a new group. Never a score.
- Coming next
Savings goals
Note what your pot is for, and see how close your turn is.
For organisers
You start the group and lead it, with a deputy beside you and the rules doing the chasing.
- Available now
Start a group in minutes
Any name you like; set the amount, how often, the number of rounds and the first due date.
- Available now
Invite by link or code
Share a link or a group code; approve each request, and people accept the rules before they are in.
- Available now
A deputy organiser
A member you trust who decides payments made to you, gives the second approval for big changes, and steps in if you leave.
- Available now
A fair payout order, three ways
Draw it at random, set it by hand with your deputy's approval, or let members choose their own turns.
- Available now
Missed-payment rules
Decide when a payment counts as missed and what happens then; the app applies it the same way to everyone.
- Available now
Decisions that need two people
Cancelling a running group, a fresh draw or a swap of turns needs both you and your deputy.
- Available now
Settle what nobody else can
Decide a payment the recipient did not confirm in time, and record the outcome of a dispute.
- Available now
A new rotation in a tap
When the last round closes, start again with the same people; the old record stays to read.
- Available now
A WhatsApp reminder in one tap
From the round, open WhatsApp with a ready-written reminder to each member who has not paid yet, and send it yourself.
- Coming next
An overview of all your groups
One page with every group you run, who has paid and what needs you.
- Coming next
Identity checks
Confirm who you are with an approved identity provider, so your members know who runs the group.
- Coming next
Automatic payments
Each member gets their own account number for the group from a licensed partner, and a transfer into it counts as their contribution by itself.
- Coming next
Secure Pot
A regulated partner holds the pot and pays it out on the day. Join the waitlist in the app.
What each plan includes, and what is free, is on the pricing page. Members never pay Rotaro anything.
Rotaro never holds money: members pay each other directly. Read more about trust and safety, or try the free tools.
Run your circle on one record
Start a group in minutes, or open the invitation your organiser sent you. Rotaro runs on the web today, on any phone or computer.
