Pro Feature

✈ Travel Mode

Travel Mode lets you log expenses in the local currency of the country you're visiting — no mental math required. Type in the amount exactly as you see it on the receipt or bill, and Pocket Clear converts and saves it in your home currency automatically, using the same exchange rate it already uses everywhere else in the app.

Your home currency never changes. Your history, reports, budgets, and totals all keep working exactly as before — Travel Mode only changes what currency the Add Transaction amount field accepts while it's turned on.

How it works

Once Travel Mode is on and you've picked a travel currency, the amount field on the Add Transaction screen accepts entries in that currency and shows a live "≈ home currency" preview underneath as you type. When you save, the transaction is stored in your home currency — the same as every other transaction in your account.

Three ways to turn it on

1. Automatic suggestion. When your phone's timezone changes to a country that uses a different currency, Pocket Clear can suggest turning on Travel Mode with that currency pre-filled. This is on by default — if you'd rather not be asked, you can silence the suggestion in Settings without turning off Travel Mode itself.
2. Manual toggle. Open Settings › Travel Mode at any time, search for a currency, and tap it to turn Travel Mode on — no timezone change needed.
3. "Back home?" prompt. When Travel Mode is on and your timezone returns to your home country, Pocket Clear will ask if you're back and want to turn Travel Mode off. This prompt is a suggestion, not automatic — Travel Mode stays on until you confirm, so a long layover in your home timezone won't switch it off on you mid-trip.

The ✈ indicator

Whenever Travel Mode is active, a small ✈ icon appears in the top bar so you always know at a glance which currency you're entering amounts in. Tap it to jump straight to the Travel Mode screen, where you can change the travel currency or turn it off.

What Travel Mode doesn't change

• Your home currency stays the same everywhere — Settings, reports, budgets, and every past transaction.
• Amounts are always stored in your home currency, so reports and totals never need a separate "travel" adjustment.
• If you use Partner Mode, your partner sees Travel Mode transactions as completely normal home-currency entries. There's nothing for them to set up or coordinate — Travel Mode is a local, personal setting on your device only.

Turning it off

Go to Settings › Travel Mode and tap Turn Off Travel Mode, or tap the ✈ indicator in the top bar and turn it off from there. The Add Transaction amount field immediately goes back to accepting your home currency.
