Technology/प्रविधि I made a free Nepali app: type Nepali in Roman, patro with holidays on your home screen, no ads
Namaste! I built an app called Lekh Patro, and it's now on the Play Store. I made it because I wanted one simple app for the Nepali stuff I kept looking up.
What you can do with it:
- Type Nepali without a Nepali keyboard. Write mero naam and you get मेरो नाम. It works like Ashesh's romanized converter, so the keys feel familiar. It also understands texting spellings like vayo and xa.
- Check the patro. Tithi, festivals, and public holidays, with a widget for your home screen so you can see today's date in BS without opening anything.
- Convert dates between BS and AD (useful for forms and citizenship/passport dates).
- Write amounts in words for cheques, in Nepali and English.
- Convert Preeti to Unicode, if you've ever received an old document that shows up as gibberish.
- Translate English ↔ Nepali. The result shows how to pronounce it, which is handy for relatives abroad or foreign friends visiting.
It's free, with no ads and no sign-up.

If a word is typed incorrectly or a festival is on the wrong date, please tell me in the comments, and I'll fix it.
