No sign-up, no tracking
No accounts, no analytics SDKs, no ads. Card data is processed locally and never uploaded anywhere.
Reads the card ID
Over NFC the app reads the card’s unique manufacturer ID (IDm) to identify it, and nothing more.
Balance is DMTCL-protected
The balance and transaction sectors are encrypted with keys held by DMTCL, so the app can’t read them without official access.
Demo data is labelled
Until official access exists, balance, recharge and trip screens show sample data and are marked “Demo” inside the app.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How do I install it?
The iOS build is an IPA rather than an App Store release, so install it with a sideloading tool such as AltStore or Sideloadly using your Apple ID. On Android, download the APK, open it and allow installs from your browser or file manager when asked. The install guide walks through both step by step.
Does it show my real balance?
Not yet. The balance and trip logs on Rapid Pass and MRT Pass cards are protected by keys owned by DMTCL. Until official access is available, those screens use simulated data and are clearly marked Demo. The NFC scan itself is real: it reads your card’s unique ID.
Which cards work?
Dhaka Metro Rapid Pass and MRT Pass. Both use Sony FeliCa (NFC-F), so your phone needs NFC. Without NFC the app falls back to a simulated scan.
Is this an official DMTCL app?
No. It is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by DMTCL. The fare calculator follows the published DMTCL rate table.
Does it collect or upload my data?
No. There are no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. Card data is processed on your device and never leaves it.
What languages and phones are supported?
English and বাংলা, following your system language. It runs on iOS and Android and is designed iOS-first, with light and dark themes.
