User Guide: Core Features
1. Using the Multi-Currency Budget
The Budget tab acts as your personal financial controller while traveling.
- Setting a Base: Select your home currency (e.g., USD) and enter your total trip budget.
- Adding Expenses: As you spend money, tap the "+" button to add an expense. You can categorize it (Food, Flights, Shopping, etc.).
- Spending Power: The dashboard will automatically deduct your expenses and show you exactly how much money you have left, converted into the live local currency of your destination.
2. Global Meeting Scheduler
Never wake up a client at 3 AM again. The Time/Date tab helps you visualize overlaps.
- Select your current Base Location.
- Add one or more Converted Cities (where your clients or colleagues are located).
- Use the slider to adjust the meeting time. The app will color-code the blocks: Green (Good for everyone), Orange (Off-hours), and Red (Sleeping).
3. Packing & Logistics Hub
Access these tools via the "Packing" and "More Tools" tabs at the bottom of the screen.
- Zen Packing Mode: Add your items with quantities (e.g., 5 Shirts). As you pack them, check the box. Toggle "Hide Completed" at the top of the screen to make packed items disappear, leaving only what you still need to pack.
- Smart Tipping: Select the country you are in. The app will automatically apply the culturally appropriate tip percentage before splitting the bill.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Tripmetic operates with an "offline-first" approach. If you are on an airplane or lack cellular data, the app will use the last known cached exchange rates. To update the rates, ensure you are connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data, open the Currency tab, and pull down to refresh or check the "Last Updated" timestamp.
Your data is saved securely in your device's local storage, not on our cloud servers. If you delete the app, clear the app's cache/storage in your phone's settings, or switch to a brand new phone without migrating your device data, your Tripmetic data will be erased. Always keep a backup of critical flight confirmation numbers.
Tripmetic does not require user accounts! There is no server data to delete. To permanently erase your data, simply uninstall the application from your device. You can read more on our Data Deletion page.
Currently, Tripmetic is designed for maximum privacy via local storage on a single device. Cross-device syncing requires cloud accounts, which we have intentionally avoided to protect your financial privacy. Your data stays on the device you enter it on.
