## What is Currency?

Currency is the fastest, most beautiful way to convert money on iPhone.

Designed for iOS 26 with a stunning liquid glass interface, Currency 2 is a complete reimagining of the app loved by users worldwide.

Convert:
Type an amount and see it convert instantly. No tapping required. Currency updates live exchange rates automatically, and works fully offline with the last fetched rates when you don't have a connection.

Calculate:
Need to split a bill or apply a markup? Just type the math. Currency understands full expressions like 150 + 20% or 49.99 × 3, calculates the result, then converts it all at once.

Scan:
Point your camera at any number—a price tag, receipt, menu, or screen—and Currency reads it for you. No typing needed. Tap to confirm and your conversion is instant.

Draw:
Can't remember a currency code? Draw its symbol on screen. Currency uses on-device machine learning to recognise what you drew and jump straight to it. Works for dollar signs, yen, euros, and dozens more.

Over 300 Currencies:
• 188 world currencies with live rates.
• 74 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. Unlocked with Currency Plus.
• 55 fictional currencies from Middle Earth, Star Wars, Pokémon, and 37 other universes. Unlocked with Currency Plus.

Currency Plus:
Unlock crypto and fictional currencies with a single one-time purchase. No subscription. No recurring charges. Pay once, enjoy forever.

Private by Design.
Currency never tracks you. There are no accounts, no sign-ins, and no analytics. Exchange rate data is fetched from a dedicated server that logs nothing. Your conversions stay on your device.

Built for the world:
Available in 55 languages. Respects your locale's number format, decimal separators, and currency symbol placement. Right-to-left languages fully supported.

And of course:
• Live exchange rates, refreshed hourly.
• Works offline with cached rates.
• Copy any result to clipboard.
