How it works
Three steps to your next trip
TripTarget keeps you honest with your budget before the trip, and keeps you on track during it.
- Step 1
Aim
Create a trip with a budget goal. TripTarget works out how much to set aside every payday, and how much you can spend each day once you are there.
- Step 2
Save & get ready
Log your savings, tick off IDs and bookings, and plan each stop of your itinerary on the map.
- Step 3
Go
Once the goal is saved and everything is checked, the live trip map unlocks on the day you fly.
Features
Everything a trip needs, in one app
Built for how Filipinos actually travel: saving from payday to payday, and watching every peso on the trip.
Plan & save
A savings goal for every trip
See exactly how far you are from your goal, and what to set aside every payday, week or month to make it before take-off.
- Animated progress for each trip
- Savings plan for kinsenas, weekly or monthly
- Weather forecast for your trip days
Budget day by day
A budget for every day of the trip
Give each day of the trip its own amount: more for the day you fly, less for the day you rest. Leave a day blank and it shares what's left, so the numbers always add up.
- Set every day, or the same amount for all
- Blank days share the rest, and it updates as you type
- A warning if you plan more than you've saved
- See what you saved by staying under budget
Travel together
Plan the trip with your barkada
Invite friends and family with a QR code, a link or their email. Everyone sees the same itinerary, checklist and expenses, and each person keeps their own savings and allowance, so it's always clear who added what.
- Scan the QR code with any phone’s camera
- Owner, editor or viewer for each person
- A budget allowance for every traveler
- Only the person who added a saving or expense can change it
Find each other
See where everyone is
When you're out exploring and the group splits up, share your location to find each other. It's off until you turn it on, and you choose it trip by trip.
- Each friend's pin, with the street they are on
- Shared only with the people on that trip, and you choose if it keeps going when the app is closed (Android)
- Turn it off any time and it's removed
- Directions to a friend in one tap
Stay found
Still shared when the app is closed
Lost signal at the market, or phone back in your pocket? On Android, TripTarget can keep sharing your spot while the app is closed, so the group can still find you. You choose it when you turn sharing on, and it tells you exactly what to expect.
- A clear notification shows while it's on, so you always know
- Updates about every minute, or when you move about 50 m
- Off or logged out? It stops and your spot is removed
- Tips for POCO, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and Samsung phones, right in the app
Group chat
Talk about the trip, live
Plan the details right inside the trip. Messages arrive instantly, and you get a notification even when the app is closed, so nobody misses the 4 AM call time.
- Live messages, with typing and unread counts
- Reply to a specific message, and @mention a traveler to get their attention
- Edit or delete a message, and everyone sees that it changed
- See who is online, and mute a trip whenever you like
Always up to date
New version? Update in a tap
When a new version is out, TripTarget tells you what's new and updates itself in a few taps. It's never forced, so you can update when you're ready, even if you're offline mid-trip.
- See what's new before you update
- Remind me later, with a notification the next day
- A light on your profile shows when one is waiting
- Your trips stay after every update
Plan around work
Long weekends, worked out for you
See which holidays turn into long weekends and exactly which days to file leave for, with your leave credits counted. Then plan a trip around it in one tap.
- Long weekends from the Philippine holiday calendar
- Your leave credits, with a reset date that follows your company's cutoff

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is TripTarget free?
Yes. TripTarget is free to download and use, with no ads and no subscriptions.
Which phones does it work on?
The app runs on Android 7.0 or newer. On an iPhone or a computer, use the web app at triptarget.vercel.app/app — same account, same trips.
Does it work without internet?
Yes, once you've logged in. Trips, savings, checklists and expenses are saved on your phone first and sync to your account once you're back online. You need internet the first time: creating an account, logging in on a new install and Google sign-in all go through our server. Stay logged in and the app keeps working offline after that. If you log out, you can only get back in offline with fingerprint (Android) or Face ID (iPhone) login, turned on in Profile → Security beforehand; a password always needs internet. The map, weather and place search need a connection to load.
Can I log in without internet?
Typing your email and password needs internet, because we check them with our server. If you stay logged in, the app opens offline as usual. If you log out and want to get back in offline, turn on fingerprint login (Android) or Face ID login (iPhone) first, in Profile → Security while you're online: then the “Log in with fingerprint” or “Log in with Face ID” button works with no connection. Without it, you'll need internet to log in again.
Is my data safe?
Your trips are stored on your phone and backed up to your own account, which only you can read. Receipt scans are handled on your phone and never uploaded, and your location is shared only with the people on a trip, only if you turn it on. There are no ads and no tracking. Read the Privacy Policy for the details.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes. Log in with the same account on another phone or on the web app and your trips are there, kept in sync.
I forgot my password. What do I do?
Tap “Forgot password?” on the log-in screen in the app or on the web. We'll email you a 6-digit code; enter it with a new password and you're back in. Accounts that sign in with Google don't need a password.
Can I sign in with Google?
Yes. Tap Continue with Google on the login screen to sign in or create an account in one step. You can also sign up with your email; we'll send a 6-digit code to verify it.
How do I delete my account?
Open Profile in the app and tap Delete account at the bottom. Your account and all your trips are deleted right away. If you can't open the app, email us from your account's email address.
How do I get new versions?
When a new version is out, the Android app shows you what's new and can update itself in a few taps. It's always your choice: tap Remind me later, or wait until you're back online. Your trips stay.
How do I add an expense from a payment?
In the phone app, tap Add expense and pick a screenshot of your payment from GCash, Maya or any bank. It's read right on your phone and fills in the amount and date for you to check. The image isn't uploaded.
