Spentrip 2.0: Tags, Widgets, Email Forwarding, and More
Spentrip 2.0 is out on the App Store and Google Play. This is the biggest update since launch — six new features, a redesigned navigation, and a long list of fixes under the hood. Here’s what changed and why.
Custom Tags
Categories handle the basics — food, transport, accommodation — but they don’t capture the things that make your trip yours. Maybe you want to separate “street food” from “restaurants,” or track which expenses were work-reimbursable versus personal. Tags let you do that.
You can create as many tags as you want, each with a custom color, and apply them to any receipt. The reports page now has a dedicated Tags tab with a horizontal bar chart showing how much you spent per tag. Tags also show up in PDF reports and CSV exports, so they carry through to whatever you do with your data after the trip.
On shared trips, tags are per-person. Your co-traveler’s tagging system doesn’t interfere with yours — everyone manages their own labels independently. And filtering works across dimensions: you can narrow receipts by tag, category, member, and date range all at once.
Tags are a premium feature.
Home Screen Widgets
Glancing at your trip spending shouldn’t require opening an app. The new home screen widget shows your current trip’s name and total spending right on your home screen — iOS and Android both.
The widget updates automatically via silent push notifications whenever a receipt is added or changed, so it stays current even when someone else in your shared trip logs an expense. It supports dark mode on Android, and the layout puts the trip name up top with the spending amount large and readable below it.
Widgets are available on the free tier.
Email Forwarding
Booking confirmations, hotel invoices, car rental receipts — a lot of travel spending arrives as email. Instead of screenshotting these and scanning them in the app, you can now forward them to a dedicated email address that Spentrip generates for each trip.
The address looks like t_abc123@in.spentrip.app. Forward a receipt email to it and the system extracts the details from images, PDFs, or plain text in the email body, then creates a receipt in your trip automatically. You’ll find the address on your trip’s detail page, ready to copy.
This works especially well for digital-first expenses — the ones where you never had a paper receipt to photograph in the first place. Airline e-tickets, Airbnb invoices, ride-hailing receipts: forward and forget.
Email forwarding is a premium feature.
Trip Archiving
Old trips used to just sit in your list forever. Now trip owners can archive a trip, which moves it to a collapsible “Archived” section with muted styling. Archiving also removes all members from the trip (they get a notification), so it’s a clean way to close out a group trip when everyone’s settled up.
Unarchiving brings the trip back, but members need to be re-invited — it doesn’t silently re-add people. If you archive the trip you’re currently viewing, the app automatically switches to your next active trip.
Receipt Verification
Every processed receipt now gets a unique verification link at v.spentrip.app/r/{token}. The page shows the merchant name, line items, and totals — a public, read-only view of the receipt data.
This is useful for expense reports that go to someone who doesn’t use Spentrip. Instead of sending screenshots or PDFs, you can share a link. The recipient sees the structured data without needing an account. It’s also a way to prove that a receipt was actually scanned and processed, not manually entered.
Redesigned Navigation
The old expandable floating action button is gone. In its place: a bottom navigation bar with four tabs — Home, Receipts, Reports, and Settings — plus a floating action button for adding expenses.
Each tab maintains its own navigation stack, so drilling into a receipt detail and hitting back takes you to the receipt list, not to a completely different section. The add-expense button opens a new bottom sheet that gives you three input options at a glance: camera, voice, or manual entry.
On iOS 26, the bottom bar uses the new liquid glass material for a native look that blends with the system style.
Also in This Update
A few smaller things that didn’t get their own section but are worth mentioning:
- Date range filtering on receipts — pick a custom date range or use presets (today, this week, entire trip) to narrow down your receipt list
- Receipt filter bottom sheet — filter receipts by category, tag, and member from a single sheet instead of navigating to separate pages
- Reusable invitation links — trip invite links now work for multiple people, so you don’t need to generate a new link for each member
- Improved PDF reports — fixed page numbering issues and crashes, and added tag breakdowns to the generated reports
- Better multi-language receipt parsing — fixed quantity parsing for non-English locales so line items come through correctly on receipts in languages that use commas as decimal separators
Spentrip 2.0 is available now. Update from the App Store or Google Play, or download it here if you’re new.
