TripStub is a fast, private expense tracker built for business travel and reimbursement — log a receipt in seconds and send a finished report when the trip's done. HOW IT WORKS Create a trip, then add expenses as they happen. Photograph a receipt and TripStub reads the total and date for you automatically. No typing required unless you want to fix something. BUILT-IN CATEGORIES, YOUR WAY Rideshare, food, hotel, airfare, parking, and more — rename any category, give it your own icon and color, add entirely custom ones, and reorder the whole list to match how you actually spend. ONE-TAP EXPENSE REPORTS Every trip exports as a polished PDF — a category breakdown, a detailed expense table, and every receipt photo attached — ready to email straight to finance or a client. TRACK WHAT'S OWED TO YOU Mark trips active, submitted, or archived, so you always know what's still outstanding and what's already been reimbursed. A HOME SCREEN WIDGET See your current trip's running total and expense count without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. No analytics. Every trip, expense, and receipt photo stays on your iPhone — TripStub simply doesn't have anywhere else to send it.
