Mkoma – PDF & Office Reader

Mkoma Office is one app for every document you are sent: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text and more. Open them, edit them and save them in their own format, on your phone, even without an internet connection. It is made for the paperwork of everyday life: leases, receipts, forms, reports, school notes.

WORD, EXCEL AND POWERPOINT
• Open .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and the older .doc, .xls and .ppt files, plus OpenDocument, inside Mkoma, with their layout, tables, charts and slides as they were made.
• Edit Word documents: type, bold, italic, underline, bulleted and numbered lists, undo and redo.
• Edit spreadsheets: tap a cell and type, add a sum, add rows and columns. Formulas and charts update as you go.
• Edit slides: tap a text box and type, make text bigger or smaller.
• Your keyboard works as usual while you edit: suggestions, autocorrect and voice typing.
• Save in the file's own format, as a copy or over the original. Mkoma never converts a file unless you ask for a PDF copy.
• The first time you open an office file, Mkoma downloads its office engine from Google Play (about 70 MB, once).

SCAN AND OPEN
• Scan paper with edge detection, straightening and cropping (uses Google's document scanner from Google Play services).
• Open files from anywhere: WhatsApp, email, your downloads.
• Text, Markdown and CSV files open in Mkoma and can be edited and saved in their own format.
• Turn photos into a PDF, in the order you choose.
• Search inside your documents, including scanned pages, using on-device text recognition.

SIGN AND MARK UP PDFs
• Fill in and sign: draw your signature or use your initials, add text, a date, ticks and crosses, and drag them into place.
• Mark up with highlight, underline, freehand, notes and boxes.
• Add a text watermark or stamp to every page.
• Redact: black out private details for good. The covered content is removed, not just hidden.

ORGANISE
• Merge PDFs in the order you pick. Reorder, remove or extract pages. Compress a large PDF to send it by email.
• Convert a PDF to a Word file (text only), plain text, or a picture of each page.

KEEP IT PRIVATE
• Protect a PDF with a password (AES-256). Mkoma cannot recover a lost password.
• No ads. No analytics. Crash reports are off unless you turn them on, and you can see exactly what one contains before anything is sent.

MADE FOR REAL LIFE
• Templates for an invoice, a receipt, a formal letter and a rent receipt, made into a PDF on your phone.
• ID card scan (front and back on one page) and passport-size photo sheets, at true print size.
• Scan QR codes and barcodes, or make a QR code page.
• Read aloud with your phone's own voice.

OPTIONAL ONLINE FEATURES
• Ask questions about a document, translate a page, or have a letter drafted from a line of instructions. These send only the text you ask them to work on, need an internet connection, and have a daily allowance.
• Sign in with your email to sync starred files and settings between your devices, keep copies of files in your own cloud space, and share a file with people you choose.
• Reading, scanning, signing, editing and protecting are always free. Mkoma Plus, an optional subscription, gives you more AI runs a day and more cloud storage.

WHAT MKOMA DOES NOT DO (YET)
• Editing covers everyday changes. Saving writes the whole file again: text, tables and formatting are kept, but a few advanced Word, Excel or PowerPoint features may not be. Save as a copy to keep the original exactly as it was.
• ePub books are kept unchanged and open in another app on your phone.
• Converting a PDF to Word keeps the text only, not the layout.
• Mkoma runs on Android only.

Mkoma asks for the camera only when you scan a QR code. Your files are opened through the system file picker; Mkoma does not go looking through your phone.
