Downloads
Android builds you can install directly, without going through the Play Store. Useful when data is expensive or a device has no Play Services — but read the note on verifying what you downloaded before you install anything.
Only install builds from this page. An APK circulating on WhatsApp claiming to be one of our applications did not come from us, and we cannot tell you what is in it. Every build here lists a SHA-256 checksum — see verifying a download for how to check it.
Circle
One account, five applications: Circle Group for susu, dues, savings and loans; Circle Shop for buying and selling with escrow; Circle Service for hiring trusted professionals; Circle Delivery for parcels and rider bids; and Circle Personal for your own money and career.
| Version | 1.0.0 (build 1) |

ShiftSync
ShiftSync is in development and being trialled with real teams. If you run shifts and want to be part of that, write to info@goshenlabs.tech — we would rather build against a roster that actually exists. Its privacy policy is published in advance.
Installing an APK
Android blocks installation from outside the Play Store until you allow it. The exact wording varies between manufacturers, but the sequence is the same.
- Download the APK using the button above. Your browser will warn you that this type of file can harm your device — that warning appears for every APK, including safe ones.
- Open the downloaded file. Android will say installation from this source is not permitted.
- Tap Settings on that prompt, and allow installation from your browser or file manager.
- Go back and tap the file again. Review the permissions requested, then install.
- Turn the setting off again afterwards. It applies to every future download from that app, not just ours.
Verifying a download
The checksum above is a fingerprint of the exact file we published. If the file you have produces a different fingerprint, it is not our build — delete it.
On a computer, before transferring the file to your phone:
| System | Command |
|---|---|
| Windows (PowerShell) | Get-FileHash .\circle-ghana-v1.0.0.apk -Algorithm SHA256 |
| macOS | shasum -a 256 circle-ghana-v1.0.0.apk |
| Linux | sha256sum circle-ghana-v1.0.0.apk |
Compare the result with the checksum listed above. They should match exactly, character for character.
Updates
Applications installed this way do not update themselves. When we publish a new build it appears on this page, and you install it over the old one — your data stays where it is. We will announce updates inside the application where we can.
Installing a build from this page means accepting our terms of use. These are pre-release applications: they may contain defects and may change without notice. Keep your existing records until we tell you a system is ready to be relied upon.
