## What is JournalFX?

JournalFX is a currency converter with a real keypad on your Home Screen, and a travel ledger that does the maths while you're away.

CONVERT
• Up to five currencies at once: type in any row and the others follow
• 160+ currencies, with reference rates from 98 central banks and official sources
• Works offline with the last rates it fetched
• Built-in calculator with + − × ÷ and %
• Rate history charts for any pair, free

WIDGETS
• Keypad converter: type the amount on the widget itself, no need to open the app
• Two-currency keypad, rate board and single-rate widgets
• Lock Screen widgets and Control Center buttons

TRAVEL LEDGER
• Record expenses in any currency; each one is converted to your home currency at that day's rate
• Enter what your card was actually charged, or the rate the money changer gave you
• Scan a receipt: amount, date and shop are read on your iPhone
• Log the cash you exchange, so cash spending uses the rate you actually got
• Budget, daily spending and category breakdown
• Split with travel companions and see who owes whom
• Every expense keeps its local time zone
• Syncs across your devices through your own iCloud

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No analytics. No server of ours. Receipts are read on your iPhone and your trips live in your own iCloud. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob.

FREE AND PRO
Converting, rates, charts and the keypad widgets are always free. The free version includes 1 trip, 10 receipt scans a month and 1 photo per expense.

JournalFX Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and includes Family Sharing:
• No ads
• Unlimited trips
• Unlimited receipt scans
• Up to 10 photos per expense
• Trip widgets: quick add and trip overview
• CSV export for Excel and Numbers
• 3 theme colours

Available in English, Cantonese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese.

Rates are mid-market reference rates, published once per business day. They are not the buy or sell rates of banks or money changers.
