Free to use

Tools we built,
free for anyone to use

Not demos. These are working applications we built, run and use ourselves — solving small problems that waste a surprising amount of time. Open one in your browser and it works, no sign-up.

Inka Drop

Inka Drop

Live

Send files, links and text between any two devices — no cable, no Wi-Fi sharing

Move a file from your phone to your laptop, paste a link across without emailing yourself, or let a customer send you a document to print — using nothing but a six-character code. Everything travels straight between the two devices, encrypted, and never touches a server.

  • Works iPhone ↔ Android ↔ PC, in any combination
  • Send text too — links, addresses and codes, copied in one tap
  • Nothing to install — it runs in the browser
  • Prints on arrival, ideal for a print shop front desk
  • Free tier, then from R49

Best for: Print shops, offices, and anyone tired of emailing files and links to themselves

Inka Beam

Beta — rough edges

Move a file with nothing but a screen and a camera

An experiment in transferring data optically: the sending device turns the file into an animated QR code, and the receiving device reads it with its camera. No network of any kind is involved — useful where there is no internet at all.

  • No internet, no Bluetooth, no cable — just line of sight
  • Uses fountain codes, so it recovers from dropped frames
  • Best for small files; larger ones take time
  • Free

Best for: Air-gapped machines, dead zones, and the plain curiosity of watching it work

Inka QR

Live

QR codes that actually scan — and that you can change after printing

Make a QR code for your website, WhatsApp, Wi-Fi or contact card in seconds. It warns you before you print something that will not read, embeds your logo without breaking the code, and exports true vector for signage. Dynamic codes let you change where a printed code points, months later, without reprinting a thing.

  • Correct at any length — long links and vCards included
  • Warns you when contrast or size will stop it scanning
  • Logo in the middle, with error correction raised to match
  • Print-ready SVG that stays sharp at any size
  • Change a printed code's destination later, and count the scans
  • Free tier, then R49/month

Best for: Shops, flyers, menus, vehicle branding — anyone printing a code they may need to redirect later

Need one of these for your own business?

The same team that built these builds custom tools for South African businesses — quoting assistants, booking systems, client portals, internal dashboards. If a job in your business eats hours every week, it is usually cheaper to fix than you think.

Questions, answered

Are these really free?+

Inka Beam is free. Inka Drop has a free tier that covers everyday use, and paid plans only if you need bigger files, Word and Excel printing, or high volume. You are never asked for card details to start.

Why does Inkatech give tools away?+

Two reasons, and we would rather be straight about both. They are genuinely useful, and they are the clearest proof of what we can build. If a tool saves you time, you already know whether we would be worth hiring for something custom.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. Both run in a browser on any phone, tablet or PC. You can add them to your home screen if you want them to open like a normal app, but that is optional.

Can you build something like this for my business?+

Yes — that is most of what we do. We have built quoting assistants, booking systems, client portals and internal dashboards for South African businesses. Tell us the job that is eating your time and we will tell you honestly whether software is the right fix.
