We build useful digital products.
AfriBa Labs creates practical mobile apps, web products, and digital tools designed to solve real-world problems.
Software should solve problems, not create them.
We focus on building practical products with simple interfaces, useful functionality, and a clear purpose. Every tool we create starts from an everyday friction point and is engineered for clarity, speed, and privacy.
Useful
Build products around real-world needs.
We identify real friction points in daily life and build software that addresses them directly without unnecessary features or distractions.
Simple
Keep the experience clear and easy to understand.
Great software gets out of the way. We prioritize straightforward navigation, fast load times, and intuitive design that anyone can use right away.
Reliable
Build products people can depend on.
Offline-first architectures, zero forced cloud lock-in, and rock-solid local storage ensure our tools work anywhere, anytime.
Fuel Pilot
Fuel tracking made simple.
Fuel Pilot is a lightweight, privacy-focused automobile fuel logging and expense tracking utility. Designed with a strict offline-first architecture, it empowers drivers and vehicle owners to calculate accurate fuel consumption (km/L), monitor monthly spending patterns, and maintain multiple vehicles with zero required accounts or cloud tracking.
Local SQLite
Zero remote tracking or cloud sync
Bidirectional Calc
Cost & volume sync automatically
Built around practical features
Every feature in Fuel Pilot is built for speed, real-world accuracy, and offline resilience.
Smart Fuel Logging
Record fill-ups in seconds with automatic bidirectional cost and volume calculation based on unit price.
Accurate Mileage Engine
Calculates true fuel consumption (km/L or mpg) between consecutive full-tank refills, plus cost per kilometer.
Multi-Vehicle Registry
Manage cars, motorcycles, or commercial fleet vehicles with independent tank capacities and fuel types.
Visual Expense Analytics
Analyze monthly fuel spending bars and mileage efficiency trends computed dynamically from local SQLite aggregates.
Portable Backup & CSV Export
Export your full database to structured .fpb backup files or RFC-4180 CSV spreadsheets for Excel and Sheets.
100% Offline & Private
No user registration, no passwords, and zero personal vehicle data leaves your device. Stored securely on SQLite.
Designed for everyday use
Products should fit naturally into people's routines. Fuel Pilot allows you to log a fuel stop in under 10 seconds right at the pump.
- Odometer validation protects against accidental typos
- Smart bidirectional price-per-litre arithmetic
- Receipt photo attachment stays stored 100% on-device
Clear information, without the clutter
Track vehicle consumption trends and cost changes over time without sharing financial records with third-party servers.
- Monthly spending bar charts with multi-currency symbols
- Mileage trend lines calculate genuine efficiency over time
- One-tap CSV export for personal spreadsheets & audits

Development Philosophy
A disciplined, five-step progression from tangible friction to polished utility.
Identify
Understand a real problem.
We observe everyday routines to isolate tangible points of friction, whether tracking vehicle expenses or managing offline workflows.
Design
Create a simple experience.
We craft ergonomic interfaces that eliminate clutter, using high contrast, tight typography, and predictable touch targets.
Build
Develop reliable software.
We write performant, native-speed code with strict architectural separation and local SQLite databases that run without latency.
Test
Validate the product carefully.
We stress-test edge cases, verify battery efficiency, enforce strict zero-data-leak policies, and ensure offline resilience.
Improve
Continue improving based on real usage.
We listen closely to driver and user feedback, releasing intentional updates that refine polish and add genuine utility.
Small ideas can become useful products.
AfriBa Labs explores practical software ideas and turns the useful ones into dependable products.
