## What is TravelingCalc?

# TravelCalc - Group Travel Expense Tracker

Make every travel expense easier to track, split, and settle.

TravelCalc is a travel-focused expense tracker built specifically to handle the complexities of group travel. Whether you travel with friends, a partner, family, or a club, TravelCalc is designed to make shared trip accounting simpler, fairer, and completely stress-free.

## The Problem With Group Trips
The hardest part of shared travel spending isn't just entering the data—it's organizing everything later. 
- Who paid for this meal?*
- Should everyone split this taxi fare equally, or only some people?*
- How should different currencies be converted for final settlement?*
- After the trip, who owes whom?*

## How TravelCalc Solves It
With clear records, intuitive charts, and automatic settlement suggestions, TravelCalc helps turn messy travel spending into something easy to understand. You record the expense on the go, and the app does the math.

### Key Features

Flexible Expense Splitting: Not everyone ate the expensive steak? No problem. Choose whether to split equally, use custom ratios/amounts, or assign an expense to a single person.
Multi-Payer Support: What if Alice paid for the food, but Bob tipped the waiter? TravelCalc handles multiple payers for a single transaction with ease.
Auto-Calculated Settlements: Stop using spreadsheets at the end of the trip. The app automatically calculates "who needs to pay whom back" with minimal transactions.
Smart Currency Conversion: Traveling across borders? Input expenses in any currency and have them converted automatically using up-to-date exchange rates for the final settlement.
Offline Nearby Sharing: No internet? No problem. Share a trip with a nearby device securely using local proximity features. It intelligently merges data to avoid duplicates.
Multi-Trip Management: Keep track of past trips, current vacations, and upcoming getaways all in one organized space.
Export & Backup: Export a single trip as an Excel/CSV file for easy archiving or review, or backup/import your full database easily.
Bill Auto-Recognition: AI/OCR Toggle. Select your preferred result.

## Privacy First
Your data belongs to you.
- All expense data is stored locally on your device by default.
- No mandatory account creation or sign-ups required.
- Add Face ID or Passcode lock for sensitive-data authentication.
