In review. Launching on iPhone soon.
Know what you can spend today.
Tasca is a travel expense tracker for iPhone. Log a coffee in yen, a train in euros and a hostel in dong, all in two taps. It converts everything into your own currency and tells you what is left for the day.

The whole idea
Fast enough that you actually do it
Most expense apps die on day three, because logging a $4 coffee costs more effort than the coffee. Tasca is built around the one interaction that matters.
- 01
Type the amount
The keypad opens on the currency you are actually holding, picked from the country you set for the trip.
- 02
Pick a category
Food, transport, that one bar. Type a note and Tasca learns which category you meant for next time.
- 03
Done
It is converted, dated, filed under the right country, and taken off today's allowance before you put the phone away.
Multi-currency
Five countries,
one honest total.
Tasca keeps what you actually paid and what it came to at home. Rates are European Central Bank reference rates, stamped with the date they applied, so a trip you look back at in December still shows what August cost.
- Set a home currency once, spend in anything
- Rates cached on device so conversion works with no signal
- Override any rate by hand and Tasca keeps using yours
- Stale rates are flagged, never silently guessed
- ¥1,450Ramen in Tokyo$14.60
- €38.00Train, Milan to Rome$62.10
- ₫210,000Two nights in Hoi An$12.85
- £4.20Coffee, Shoreditch$8.05
Home currency AUD. Rates as at the day each expense was logged.
Everything in the app
A small app that takes the trip seriously
Tasca does one job, and then does the unglamorous parts of that job properly: timezones, refunds, multi-day hotel splits, countries you pass through twice.
Multi-currency
Log in yen, see it in dollars. Tasca stores what you actually paid and converts it with the day's rate.
Daily budget
Set a daily allowance or a trip total. The dashboard answers one question: what can I still spend today?
Offline and private
No account, no ads, no trackers. Everything is stored on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud.
Receipt scanner
Point the camera at a receipt and Tasca reads the amount, merchant and date on device. Nothing is uploaded.
Stats and stories
Per country, per category, per day. Plus a tappable recap you can send to the people you travelled with.
Export
Claim it back, split it up, or file it. Take the whole trip out in a format your accountant will accept.
Widget and Siri
A widget with today's number, a Live Activity on the Lock Screen, and "Log expense in Tasca" for hands-free entry.
Categories
Type "ramen" once under Food and Tasca suggests it next time. Split one payment across several categories.
Stats
The answer to “where did it all go”
Every expense carries the country it happened in, so a five country trip gives you five real breakdowns instead of one big number and a shrug.
Cost per day, per country
Compare Tokyo against Hanoi on the only measure that survives different trip lengths.
Spend calendar
A month grid tinted by how hot each day ran. Tap a day to see exactly what happened.
Insights that stay quiet
Longest no-spend streak, biggest single purchase, weekday against weekend, only when there is enough data to mean something.
Pace and projection
From day three, Tasca projects where you land and says something before you are already over.
Trip recap
The receipts turn into a story
At the end of a trip Tasca builds a short, tappable recap out of what you logged. Biggest day, the country that took the most, the thing you bought that you are still thinking about. Save it or send it to whoever you travelled with.
Privacy
We do not want your data
A travel budget is a map of where you were and what you did. Tasca is built so that map never has to leave your pocket.
No account, ever
No sign up, no email, no password. Open it and start a trip.
Nothing leaves the phone
No analytics SDK, no ad SDK, no crash service shipping your trips off device.
One network call
Exchange rates. It sends two currency codes and a date, and nothing else.
Your iCloud, not ours
Sync between your devices runs through your personal iCloud, which we cannot read.
Read the full privacy policy. It is short.

Is Tasca free?
Yes. Tasca is free to download and use. There is no subscription, no paid tier and no ads.
Does Tasca work without internet?
Yes. Tasca is built offline first. Every trip, expense, category and report lives on your iPhone, so you can log a coffee on a train with no signal. The only thing that needs a connection is refreshing exchange rates, and Tasca caches the last rates it fetched so conversion keeps working while you are offline.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign up, no email and no password. Open the app and start a trip. If you turn on iCloud, your trips sync between your own devices through your personal iCloud account, which Tasca cannot read.
Which currencies does Tasca support?
You can record an expense in any currency and set a different home currency for reporting. Automatic conversion uses European Central Bank reference rates covering around 30 major currencies. For anything outside that set you can enter the rate yourself, and Tasca will keep using it.
Where do the exchange rates come from?
European Central Bank reference rates, fetched through frankfurter.dev. Rates are cached on device and refreshed in the background. If a rate is out of date, Tasca marks it as stale rather than silently using an old number.
Can I track a trip across several countries?
Yes. Each expense records the country it happened in, so a trip through five countries gives you five separate breakdowns as well as a trip total. You get spend per country, cost per day per country and the share of the trip each country took.
Your next trip is going to cost something.
Might as well know what. In review. Launching on iPhone soon.
