Tools and Currency Converter

The Tools page currently includes the currency converter.

Currency Converter​

The converter lets you:

  • enter an amount
  • choose source and target currencies
  • swap source and target
  • pick common quick currencies
  • choose from the full supported currency list

The source currency initially follows your base currency setting.

Exchange Rate Behavior​

Rates are loaded from /api/exchange-rates. The server uses EUR as the base, refreshes stale cached data from the Frankfurter API, falls back to stale database rates when the API is unavailable, and finally falls back to built-in rates if no cache is available.

Converter results are informational. Saved transactions keep their own amount, currency, and exchange rate metadata at booking time.
