Wallets in several currencies

Every wallet in Walletable has its own currency, and the total at the top of the Wallets tab is converted into the one currency you count in. Nothing is pinned to a single currency: you can hold euros, dinars and dollars side by side and still see one number.

The main currency, and what the total means

The main currency is the one your totals are shown in. It is the first thing the app asks during onboarding, and you can change it later in Settings → Main currency.

Changing it does not convert anything or rewrite your history. Each wallet keeps its own currency and its own amounts; only the converted total is recalculated, at current rates.

How to add a wallet in another currency

  1. Open the Wallets tab and tap + in the top right.
  2. Give the wallet a name — Cash, Card, Savings, whatever you call it.
  3. Pick its currency. The list starts with the currencies in use around you, and there is a search field for the rest.
  4. Enter the amount you have in it now. This is the starting balance, not an expense.
  5. Tap Save. The wallet appears on the Wallets tab, and the total at the top is recalculated.

Moving money between currencies

Money changed from one currency to another is a transfer, not an expense — otherwise a trip to the exchange office would look like you lost the money.

A transfer keeps both amounts: what left one wallet and what arrived in the other. The rate is whatever those two amounts imply, so if the exchange office gave you a bad rate, your records show the bad rate and not the official one.

How to make a transfer with conversion

  1. On the Wallets tab, tap − on the wallet the money leaves.
  2. Enter the amount that left.
  3. Pick the Transfer category instead of a normal expense category.
  4. Choose the wallet the money arrives in. If its currency differs, the Transfer with conversion screen opens.
  5. Enter the amount that actually arrived, and save. Both wallets are updated, and the pair is one transaction in your history.

Questions

Where do the exchange rates come from?

From a rates service the app refreshes on its own in the background. They are used for one thing only: converting your totals into the main currency. Amounts you entered are never touched by a rate change.

Do rates work without internet?

Yes. The app keeps the last rates it downloaded and keeps converting with them, so the total is never blank. It catches up the next time you are online.

Can I see the total in a different currency without changing the main one?

Yes. On the Insights screen, use Change Visible Currency to read the same charts and totals in another currency. The main currency in Settings stays as it is.

Can I change a wallet's currency?

No. A currency is chosen when the wallet is created and is fixed after that — on the edit screen there is no currency field at all. If one was picked by mistake, make a new wallet in the right currency, move the money across with a transfer, and hide the old one from Home. Its history stays with it.

How many wallets and currencies can I have?

There is no limit on either, and no limit on the number of transactions. This is free.
