About Paigam

Paigam (پیغام — Urdu for "message") is a broadcast messaging application built for communities that need a clear, reliable channel for important announcements. Whether it's a neighbourhood group, religious organisation, school, or workplace — Paigam keeps everyone informed.

The app features a strict admin verification system so only authorised individuals can send messages. Community members receive real-time push notifications and can browse the full message history even without an internet connection thanks to local caching.
