City in My Hand gives every resident one place to access government services, and gives the municipality a direct line of communication with its community.

Residents access municipal services, information and payments through a single application.

National deployment

One national app for every municipality.

City in My Hand can run at national level. Residents download one app, and each municipality has its own branded app inside it.

1

Create an account

Residents download one national app and sign up with their mobile number.

2

Choose a municipality

Search or select where they live, by province or by location.

3

Use their municipality’s app

The app opens with that municipality’s crest, colours and services.

Municipalities can also publish a dedicated app under their own name on the App Store and Google Play.

Citizen reporting

From a voice note to a resolved issue.

Residents describe an issue in their own words. AI turns it into a structured report, routes it to the right team, and the resident is updated until it is resolved.

Impact

Resolve the issues that matter most to residents.

A small number of recurring issues drive most citizen dissatisfaction. City in My Hand identifies them, so the municipality can direct resources where they will improve satisfaction the most.
