Multi-currency balances

Yen here, dollars there — one clear picture.

A trip rarely runs in one currency. Node Expense keeps every currency's balance exact — no forced conversion — while still showing your approximate net across all of them, so you always know roughly where you stand.

  • Balances shown separately in every currency spent — JPY and USD side by side
  • An approximate net combines them into one number, using the day's rate
  • Settle-ups always happen in the original currency — no rounding surprises
  • A reminder bell nudges anyone who still owes you

Trip report

The whole trip, laid out clean.

When you're back, export the whole group's expense report in one tap — every expense itemized, balances broken out by currency, and suggested settle-ups spelled out. Review it together on the bigger screen; it looks just as sharp on iPad as it does on your phone.

  • Every expense itemized — date, category, who paid, and each person's share
  • Member balances and suggested settle-ups, broken out by currency
  • Looks just as sharp on iPad as iPhone — great for reviewing the trip together

Exclude anyone

Didn't go? Don't pay for it.

Taylor skipped the Tokyo Tower observation deck, so she's excluded from just that expense — the cost splits between whoever actually went, no manual math required.

  • Exclude anyone from a single expense, even if they're in the group
  • The remaining active members automatically split the full cost
  • Works with any split mode — equal, percentage, exact amount, or Pick & Pay

Spending map

See where the trip money went.

Every expense with a location becomes a pin on the map — bigger where you spent more, colored by category. Tap a pin to see what you bought there.

  • Name any place yourself — “Tokyo Tower” instead of “4‑2‑8 Shibakoen”
  • Charts → Top Locations ranks your places — search by name or address, show your top 10 or all of them, and tap one to see everything you spent there
  • Filter by category and time range — say, just the food from the last 7 days
  • Group expenses count your share, not the whole bill
  • Location is off until you turn it on in Settings

Log it later

No need to log it on the spot.

Enjoy the moment and catch up that night at the hotel — or once you're back home. Set the day you spent it, type the place's name or its address, and Node Expense looks it up and puts the pin in the right place on the map.

  • Type a landmark like Tokyo Tower, or a street address, and it finds the spot — you don't have to be there
  • Shows the address it matched, so you can check it's the right place
  • Back-date each expense to the day it happened
