Travel should be about experiences, not spreadsheets.

On a train from Stockholm to Narvik, I realized I had no idea how much I’d spent that week. Receipts were lost, currencies were confusing, and my bank app only showed half the picture. I needed a tool built for travelers, by a traveler.

Most budgeting apps are designed for daily life, not for the chaos of travel. They don’t account for multiple currencies, shared expenses, or the spontaneity of being on the road.

I developed Tracktrip as a personal project during my travels, using it to manage my own expenses across multiple countries. It became an essential tool for me, helping me stay on budget and understand my spending patterns.

After seeing how useful it was for my own travels, I decided to open-source Tracktrip so that others could benefit from it as well. Now, anyone can use and contribute to the project, making travel budgeting easier for everyone.
