Budgeting built for life on the move.
When home changes every few months, a normal budgeting app falls apart. PocketTrip is a digital nomad budget you can actually run. Rolling months in different countries, bases and trips kept separate, every currency reconciled to one honest total, and clean records waiting for you when tax season comes around.
Why nomads need something different
A budget that moves with you
Most budgeting apps assume a fixed life: one currency, one country, a paycheck on the same day each month. Nomad life is the opposite. Rent is monthly in Portugal, weekly in Bali and by the night on the road in between. Income lands in dollars while spending happens in baht, pesos and euros. A tool built for a settled month at home can't keep up with any of that.
Think in months, not just trips
PocketTrip lets you run a rolling monthly cap for wherever you're based right now, then start a fresh trip when you move on. Each place gets its own budget and its own history, so you can look back and see, in your own currency, that Mexico City cost you €1,200 a month while Lisbon crept toward €2,000. That's the kind of honest comparison that decides where you go next.
- Run a monthly cap for your current base
- Keep every country as its own trip and history
- Log income and spend in different currencies
- See one home-currency total across everything
- Export clean records when tax time comes
How it works
Run your nomad budget in three moves
1
One base, one budget
Create a trip for the place you're living now and set a monthly cap in your home currency. Rent, coworking, food and transit all land against that single number.
2
Log in local money
Pay in baht, pesos or koruna and log it as-is, or scan the receipt. PocketTrip converts everything back with live rates so your cap always reflects reality.
3
Move on cleanly
When you change countries, start a new trip and leave the old one intact. Export any trip to CSV or PDF whenever an accountant or a border form needs the numbers.
Bases vs. side trips
Keep the slow months and the fast ones apart
A weekend in another city shouldn't blow up the numbers for the month you're carefully budgeting at your base. In PocketTrip, your base is one trip and that quick escape is another, so a splurge on a long weekend never quietly wrecks the average you plan around.
✈️
Side trips
Spin up a separate trip for a weekend away or a visa run, so the splurge stays out of your base numbers.
🌍
Multi-currency
Log income in one currency and spend in another; every total is reconciled to your home currency.

CSV & PDF export
Pro exports any trip as a spreadsheet or formatted report for invoices, accountants and tax records.

Income, spend & records
Awareness now, paperwork later
Know your runway, not just your balance
Freelance and remote income rarely arrives evenly, so a bank balance tells you very little. What matters is the gap between what comes in and what a month at your current base actually costs. Log both and PocketTrip shows you that gap in one currency. That's the difference between confidently booking three more months somewhere and nervously refreshing your banking app.
And when the year ends, the paperwork is already done. Multi-currency tracking means every foreign expense already carries its original amount and its converted value, so a Pro export is a finished record, not a weekend of digging through statements.
- Compare income and spend for the current base
- Original currency and converted value on every expense
- Export a whole trip to CSV in one tap (Pro)
- Formatted PDF report for invoices or accountants (Pro)
- Categories and notes carried through to the export
FAQ
Nomad budgeting, answered
How do I budget when I stay in several countries for months at a time?
Give each long stay its own trip in PocketTrip and set a monthly cap for that base. Because everything is converted back to a single home currency, you can compare a month in Lisbon against a month in Bangkok directly, and see which places actually fit your remote-work travel budget rather than guessing.
Can I export my expenses for tax or accounting?
Yes. PocketTrip Pro exports any trip as a CSV spreadsheet or a formatted PDF, with dates, categories, original currency, converted amounts and notes. It's a clean record you can hand to an accountant, attach to an invoice or file away for the tax year.
Does it handle multiple currencies as I move around?
Yes. Log each expense in the local currency and PocketTrip converts it to your home currency with live rates, so a nomad expense tracker running across five countries still gives you one honest total to steer by. There's more on this in our multi-currency budget guide.
Is my financial data private?
Yes. Your trips stay on your device and sync only through your own iCloud account. Receipt scanning runs on-device, so nothing about your income or spending is uploaded to PocketTrip's servers.
