Gastos is a private iPhone expense tracker for people who spend at home and while traveling. Type "coffee 4.50", snap a receipt, or say "lunch twenty dollars" — on-device AI parses it. Travel Mode detects timezone changes, switches currencies, and shows home equivalents in real time. Free. No accounts, no cloud.








Hey Product Hunt! I'm Ed, the solo developer behind Gastos.
My wife and I work overseas and we love traveling. We also fly home to our home country often. We wanted to track our spending, especially during trips, for a few simple reasons: we want to know where our money is going, we don't want to be surprised when the credit card bill comes in after a trip, and we believe you cannot improve what you do not track.
The main friction: when we travel, we spend in a different currency, and merging that with our day-to-day spending at home is a pain. Same thing when we visit our home country. That friction kept making us quit tracking — which meant we'd be miserable every time the credit card bill showed up.
I looked at a lot of spending tracker apps, but none of them combined everything we wanted: multi-currency travel support, dead-simple logging (like snapping a receipt or typing "5 lunch"), no account required, and no subscriptions. So like any other software engineer, I built one.
This is Gastos — an AI-powered spending tracker with a Travel Mode that lets you log expenses in a foreign currency while showing you totals and insights in your home currency.
- Travel Mode handles multi-currency automatically — spend in local currency, see everything converted back to your home currency
- Three ways to log: type "coffee 4.50", snap a receipt, or record a voice note
- Works fully offline — no servers, no accounts. Install and start logging
- Completely free and ad-free
I'd love to hear feedback, especially on the Travel Mode flow and whether the receipt scanning works well for you. Hope this helps anyone else dealing with the same multi-currency headache!
Congrats on the launch! Tracking spending while traveling is one of those problems that sounds simple until you're splitting costs across three currencies with four friends. Curious - do you handle shared expenses with groups? I've found that the messiest part of travel spending isn't tracking your own costs, it's figuring out who owes what. Especially when half the group Venmos and the other half "will get the next one" and never does.
@ben_gend Hello Ben! Thank you for leaving a comment.
To answer your question, the App does not handle that use case. While Gastos does have a Travel Mode that helps you track spendings during trips, it is focused on building a habit of tracking your spending by removing friction, especially during travels.
But there are apps out there that handles this use case nicely such as Tricount. I personally used this on a trip with the lads in Thailand!
u say its no cloud but how currency conversion will work ?
@zabbar Hello, and good question! So how this works is the app ships with a bundled exchange rate matrix so currency conversion works offline from day one, and when you're online it refreshes rates from a free open API on app launch. No expense data ever leaves your device.
