About Here & Home: a free travel converter and expense tracker

That quiet panic at a foreign price tag? We built an app for exactly that.

Short answer

Here & Home is a free Android 12+ app by Trishunya Infotech. Job one: tell you what it costs, in about three seconds. Job two: remember what you spent, alone or with a group. No hidden numbers: rates show their age and source, and real costs stay separate from market rates. There is no account, and your expenses stay on your phone.

Why it was built

You land somewhere new, and every price is a number in a currency you cannot feel. Is it cheap? By day four you have no idea what you have spent. If something goes wrong, you may not speak the language. Here & Home was built for those three moments.

The two jobs

  1. Tell you what it costs, in about three seconds. A home screen widget opens a keypad. See how it works.
  2. Remember what you spent, alone or with your group. Save in one tap, track cash, see where it went, and settle up. See splitting trip expenses.

No hidden numbers

Settings: widget background and clock faces, among other options.

Everything else

The rest is for the days you are not spending: a clock that opens into the converter, two time zones and the weather, a trip map, PDF and spreadsheet exports, and an offline guide with emergency numbers, phrases, a survival kit and a country overview. See the app tour.

How it stays free

It is free to download and supported by ads. There are no ads for the first 15 days after install, and a rewarded video buys 30 ad-free minutes. Here & Home needs Android 12 or newer.

For reference. Steps and screens described here are as they appear in Here & Home, and menu names can differ between versions of Android and the app. Exchange rates and prices in examples are illustrative, and rates in Here & Home are indicative, updated periodically and not financial quotes. Emergency numbers, phrases, country facts and survival tips are general information given on a best-effort basis: check them before you travel, and do not rely on any app alone in a life-threatening emergency. Here & Home is a field companion, not a financial or emergency service. Trademarks are those of their owners and are used only to describe what the app works with.
