Trips

A trip gets its own report: what a holiday, a visit or a work trip cost, counted over its days, people and accounts.

Start a trip

Open Trips (in Settings on iPhone, or ⌘7 on Mac) and choose Start a trip. longbook asks for:

  • Trip name: what the trip's report is called, such as Goa or Mum's visit.
  • Trip people: the people travelling.
  • Trip accounts: the cards and accounts the trip is paid from. Choose none to count every account.

Tap Start Trip. Trip mode is on: the trip counts confirmed charges from today until you end it.

Add a past trip

Choose Add a past trip, then give it a name, people, accounts and Trip dates: the first and last day. Confirmed charges on those days are counted. Tap Add Trip.

End a trip

Tap End Trip. The report keeps the days from the trip's first day to today.

See what a trip cost

Trips lists your past trips. Open Report opens a trip's report, which also appears in Reports. Like monthly reports, a trip counts confirmed charges only: ones a statement or an email proves, or that you marked paid.

Questions

Can my AI make a trip report?

Yes. Ask it: "Make a report of my Goa trip in my longbook". It fills in as the trip's charges are confirmed.

Why is a charge missing from my trip?

It may not be confirmed yet, it may fall outside the trip's days, or it may be paid from an account the trip doesn't count.
