Tasca

A daily travel budget that updates while you spend

A budget you check once a week is a report. A budget you can see before you order is a decision. Tasca puts one number at the top of the screen and keeps it current.

The Tasca dashboard on iPhone: a Japan trip on day 1, 94 dollars spent in total and 46 dollars left today, with three logged expenses and a last-seven-days bar chart.

Daily

Pick an amount per day and see what remains of today's allowance.

Trip total

Give the whole trip a number and Tasca works out the daily pace it implies.

No budget

Track without a limit if you just want the record, not the referee.

Underspending on Tuesday should count for something

Most budget apps reset to zero at midnight, which quietly punishes the day you stayed in and cooked. Tasca carries your position forward, so a cheap day makes tomorrow's number bigger and a heavy day makes it smaller. That is what a budget across a fixed trip length actually means.

The dashboard metric tiles are tappable. The same tile can show today's spend, your average per day, what is left of the budget, or income logged against the trip, over today, this week, this month or the whole trip. You choose what you want staring at you.

Expenses that should not count against today

Flights booked three months ago, the deposit on an apartment, the rental car you prepaid: these are trip costs but they are not today's costs, and letting them land on one day makes the daily number useless.

  • Exclude any expense from the daily allowance while keeping it in the trip total
  • Split a hotel or a flight evenly across the days it covers
  • Mark money back as a refund so it reduces the total instead of appearing as income
  • Log income against a trip when someone pays you back

The warning that arrives before the damage

From the third day of logging, Tasca projects where your current pace lands you and says something if that is meaningfully over. Before day three it says nothing, because a projection from two days of data is noise and a false alarm on day one teaches you to ignore the app.

When you are genuinely over, the dashboard shows how much you need to trim per remaining day to finish level. It is a number to act on, not a red banner to feel bad about.

Common questions

Does an unspent daily allowance roll over?

Yes. Tasca tracks your position against the whole trip, so a day you spent less leaves more available afterwards, and a heavy day tightens the days that follow.

Can I change the budget mid trip?

Yes. Switch between daily, trip total and no budget at any point in trip settings, and the dashboard recalculates from your existing expenses.

How does Tasca handle the day I fly home?

Trip length comes from your start and end dates, and you can exclude travel days or specific expenses from the daily allowance if you would rather they sat outside the rhythm of the trip.
