Where Does Tricount Store Balances and Exports?

Tricount balances sync through the account with CSV export on the site, while phones hold cache only.

Last updated

Tricount expenses live on Tricount servers under your account. The phone app shows balances and lets you add spending offline, syncing when the connection returns.

The portable copy is the CSV export from the website, with every expense line intact. Phones hold cache and queued edits that vanish on reinstall. Export the trip, settle up, then delete without worry.

Where Tricount stores this, by platform

Android
Account cloud (balances); CSV export via website

Trips, balances, and expenses sync from the account. The phone holds cache only. Export CSVs from the site for archives; reinstalling loses nothing else.

iOS
Account cloud (balances); CSV export via website

Same cloud-first design. Export the trip CSV before leaving shared groups, since departed groups hide their history.

Frequently asked questions

How do I archive a finished trip?

Export the CSV from the website first. The file holds the full item history, which is the only record once the group closes.
