Go to Set Up
Configure your trip dates, home currency, budget currency, and spending categories. The countdown timer updates automatically.
- Budget Currency — the currency you'll spend on your trip (e.g. EUR)
- Home Currency — your home currency for bookings (e.g. CAD)
Enter Your Bookings
In Set Up → Bookings, log your pre-trip fixed costs — flights, accommodation, transport, activities.
Log Expenses On the Go
Use Log Expenses to record spending as you travel — one row per purchase. Local Amount = trip currency. Home Amount = your home currency.
Monitor the Dashboard
The Dashboard shows a live budget vs. actual chart, spending by category, and a day-by-day breakdown. Everything updates as you log.
Up to 10 — name them in Set Up → Categories.
No — enter both amounts when logging so you control the exact rate paid.
Yes — auto-saves to browser local storage. Persists between sessions.

What the whole trip is allowed to cost, in your home currency. The trip is tracked against it on the Dashboard, under Where the Money Went. The per-category and per-method budgets below and in Categories stay in their own currencies and are never converted into it.
Optional. Cap what goes on each card or on cash, per currency. Add or rename methods under Money → Payment Methods.
Type in the 3 letter currency code
Record cash exchanges or Wise transfers before or during your trip. The rate auto-fills with the official daily rate for the date you pick — you can always type over it.
