Jot it down like a note, and Tabii gets it. The easiest smart travel expense tracker there is. Ever lost the moment on a trip because a budgeting app made you pick a category, type the amount, and do the currency math? Just write "Lawson 600 yen cash" — one rough line is enough. Tabii works out the amount, currency, payment method, and category for you. No forms, no dropdowns. Type it, then get back to your trip. Japan, Europe, Thailand — wherever you go, set the destination and Tabii applies the local currency and live exchange rate, converting everything to your home currency. [Made for] - Anyone tired of filling in forms while traveling - Anyone looking for a must-have app for Japan or any trip abroad - Anyone still doing currency math by hand - Anyone whose spending lives in scattered notes - Anyone who wants to travel comfortably within a set budget - Anyone who wants the real total of a trip, flights and hotels included [Key features] - Radically simple one-line input Write it the way you'd say it: "Lawson 600 yen", "Suica 1000 cash", "yakiniku 10000". Hit enter and the amount and merchant are parsed and logged instantly. Add a date — "yesterday lunch 3000", "7/12 souvenirs 2000" — and it's filed on that day. Works in English, Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), and Korean. - Smart categories, sorted for you Based on what you typed, expenses are automatically categorized as Food, Transport, Shopping, Lodging, Sightseeing, Flight, or Other. Payment methods (cash, card, mobile pay) are recognized too. Skip the sorting and focus on the trip. - Live conversion, no calculator needed From JPY, USD, and EUR to Swiss Franc, Czech Koruna, and Turkish Lira, Tabii supports a wide range of currencies. Live rates convert your total into your home currency at a glance, and rates update automatically. - Before-trip expenses, all in one place (NEW) Log flights, hotels, and tour bookings you paid before departure in the "Before trip" tab. Set the payment currency and exchange rate, or enter the amount your card was actually charged, so your total trip cost stays accurate. Before-trip costs stay out of your during-trip budget, so on-the-ground budgeting stays clean. - Works offline No data abroad? Logging and categorizing still work instantly. Everything runs on your device; only exchange rates refresh when you're online. - Trip budgets Set a budget per trip and see how much you've used and what's left. Tabii tracks the remainder in real time and reads your spending pace to warn you before you overspend. - Clear stats and dashboards How much went to food this trip? What did today cost? See it by day and by category in clean charts and dashboards — handy for planning the next trip, too. - Widgets & Dynamic Island, without opening the app Home and Lock Screen widgets show total spending, remaining budget, and the live rate of any currency you pick. On iPhone, the Dynamic Island and Live Activity keep your trip spending in view in real time. - Separate trips Japan, Europe, the US — create each trip separately, with its own emoji and color. - Export to Excel, CSV, or PDF (Premium) Save and share a trip's expenses as Excel, CSV, or PDF, including the before/during split, payment currency, converted amount, and the rate applied. Handy for settling up and keeping records. No heavy finance app, no receipt scanning — just the lightest way to keep track without losing the excitement of travel. Start traveling light and smart with Tabii. [Tabii Premium] The core features are free. Want unlimited trips, export, and no ads? Choose Premium — Lifetime or Monthly.
