Kathmandu – In a time when misinformation, digital fraud, and limited internet access still affect millions across Nepal, the newly updated Roshan Shrestha App has emerged as a public-powered solution designed to bring reliable, verified, and essential tools directly into the hands of citizens — many of which are accessible even without internet.
Core Tools Work Without Internet – Designed for Nepali Reality
Unlike most mobile apps that rely heavily on internet access, the Roshan Shrestha App is intentionally built to function in low-connectivity environments. The majority of its core services — including the full Nepali calendar, date converter, and utility tools like currency rate and gold rate (with last saved data) — are usable offline once downloaded.
This offline-first approach ensures that Nepalis in rural areas or working abroad can still access vital information, even with limited connectivity. The app clearly marks which features work offline and which require internet, ensuring a transparent user experience.
Trusted Tools to Fight Exploitation and Support Migrants
One of the app’s standout features is its Visa & Work Permit Checker, currently supporting over 19 countries. Users can instantly check if a visa is genuine, view Nepali embassy contact details, and access video guides about foreign employment — all designed to prevent fraud by human traffickers and unlicensed agents.
These tools are developed in direct response to the daily exploitation faced by many Nepalis seeking overseas opportunities. More countries will be added soon, with the target of 50+ in the next update cycle.
Introducing RoshanGPT — AI That Speaks Your Language
The app now integrates RoshanGPT, a free AI assistant in Nepali and English. Unlike global AI platforms, RoshanGPT focuses exclusively on questions relevant to Nepali users — such as:
What can I bring from abroad?
How many phones are allowed through customs?
How do I fix Facebook or YouTube monetization issues?
What are the steps for getting a PAN card or digital passport?
This feature requires internet but works seamlessly after a one-time Gmail login.
Ad-Free and 100% Free — Funded by the People, for the People
The Roshan Shrestha App is completely free to download and use — with zero advertisements. Unlike most apps that generate revenue through pop-ups and third-party ads, this platform has chosen to remain ad-free to preserve trust and focus on service delivery.
Instead, an optional Donation system exists inside the app. Supporters can send any amount (even as low as Rs. 1) via bank transfer or QR code. All donations are transparently listed, and supporters can choose whether or not to show their names.
Donations are used to:
Pay developers and server costs
Run a 2-person user support center
Improve security and release new tools
No external sponsors or political organizations are involved. If public support does not cover costs, the development team commits to funding operations personally.
Future Roadmap — A Vision Beyond the App
In coming months, the Roshan Shrestha App plans to roll out:
Visa checking for 50+ countries
Farmer tools: crop prices, weather, and market rates
English learning content using AI
Digital tools for new entrepreneurs
Utility features: vegetable prices, fuel rate, thumbnail creation, video editing tutorials
Full integration of government services (Nagarik App, PAN, Passport, etc.)
Eventually, the app will transition into a foundation — a citizen-led digital trust that continues to operate, grow, and serve regardless of its creator’s presence.
“This is not a personal project. It’s a national mission. The Roshan Shrestha App belongs to every Nepali.” – Roshan Shrestha
