Currency Converter is built specifically for the Gulf — with QAR (Qatari Riyal) as your default base currency and every GCC currency included out of the box. It's the converter you'd wish existed if you live in Doha, Dubai, Kuwait City, Manama, Riyadh, or Muscat.
BUILT FOR THE GULF, OPEN TO THE WORLD
- QAR as the default base — not USD or EUR like every other converter
- All GCC currencies included by default (QAR, AED, SAR, KWD, BHD, OMR)
- 160+ world currencies with real, daily-updated rates
- Correct decimal precision for every currency — the 3-decimal Gulf currencies (KWD, BHD, OMR) show all three decimal places, and 0-decimal currencies (JPY, KRW) drop the pointless ".00"
- Default starter list tuned for Gulf residents traveling abroad
WORKS FROM THE MOMENT YOU INSTALL
- Bundled seed rates mean the app shows real numbers the instant you launch it — no internet, no loading screen, no empty state
- Pull down to refresh, or let it auto-refresh when you return to the app and the rates are over an hour old
- A plain-language "Updated…" timestamp tells you exactly how fresh your data is, with a clear warning when rates are more than a day old
- Silent background refresh when online, manual refresh when you want it
A KEYPAD DESIGNED FOR NUMBERS
- Custom on-screen numeric keypad pinned at the bottom — no system keyboard hiding half your screen
- Tap any currency row to swap it into the base slot — it animates up to the top and every other row instantly reflects the new base
- Each row shows its unit rate at a glance (e.g. "1 QAR = 0.27")
- Real-time updates as you type, with smooth numeric transitions
- Long-press any amount to copy it to the clipboard
- Drag to reorder your saved currencies, or swipe any row left to remove it
CUSTOMIZE IT
- System, Light, and Dark themes
- 10 accent colors, chosen to look great in both modes
- Haptic feedback (toggleable)
- Full Dynamic Type support
ACCESSIBILITY FIRST
- Full VoiceOver support with grouped, meaningful labels — it even reads your running amount aloud as you type and announces refresh and offline outcomes
- Reduce Motion respected everywhere
- Every tappable element meets Apple's 44pt minimum
- Tested end-to-end on the smallest iPhone and the largest iPad
PRIVACY FIRST
- No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Ever.
- Exchange rates come from a free public API (open.er-api.com) — no API keys, no personal data transmitted
- All preferences stored on-device via UserDefaults
- Privacy manifest declared — Data Not Collected
