What you can do
Everything you need to manage your summer money.
See your week at a glance.
Your dashboard adds up everything you've earned since Monday and breaks it down day by day. Spot your best shifts and keep an eye on your weekly net income.
Juggle multiple jobs without the mess.
Working two or three jobs is normal on a J1 program. Add each one with its own hourly rate and week-start day, and Chickaree keeps a running total of what every job has paid you.
Log a shift in seconds.
Punch in your hours worked, the tips you received, and an optional note for the day. Overtime and tips are captured automatically, so your earnings are always accurate.
Just snap it. Chickaree does the typing.
Point your camera at any receipt and Chickaree reads it for you — the amount, the category and the date are filled in automatically. No more keeping crumpled receipts or losing track of where your cash went.
- Capture an expense in one tap
- Amount & category detected for you
- Add multiple items from a single receipt
See exactly where your money goes.
Every expense is grouped by category — transport, food, shopping and more — so you always know your total spending and what's eating into your savings.
Stay motivated toward your goal.
Set a weekly savings target and watch the progress ring fill up. Add a personal motivation quote to remember exactly what you're working for this summer.
Understand the full picture.
The General Summary gives you an all-time view of everything earned, spent, and kept, plus a breakdown by job and by month. Know exactly how your Work & Travel experience added up.
