Is your currency 💪 stronger or 🔻 weaker against other countries?

How this dashboard works
Historical trend lines come from Frankfurter, which republishes the European Central Bank's official reference rates, with an open currency API filling in currencies the ECB doesn't track. Today's spot rate is fetched live in your browser each visit and patched onto the end of every trend line, so the "now" point is genuinely now.
For a nomad earning in dollars, this chart is a cost-of-living early-warning system: when the dollar strengthens 15% against the Colombian peso, everything in Colombia just went on sale for you — and when it weakens against the euro, your Lisbon budget quietly inflated. The plain-English read under each currency says exactly that, without forex jargon.
Where does the exchange-rate data come from?
Historical rates come from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates via the Frankfurter API, with an open-source currency API covering currencies the ECB doesn't publish. Today's spot rate is fetched live in your browser on every visit.
What does "stronger" or "weaker" actually mean for my budget?
If your base currency strengthened 10% against a country's currency, your money buys roughly 10% more there than it did at the start of the window — rent, food and everything priced locally effectively dropped for you. Weakening works in reverse.
Can I time my money transfers with this?
The chart shows momentum, not predictions — nobody reliably forecasts exchange rates. What it is good for: noticing that a currency has already moved sharply, so you can decide whether to transfer now or wait, and spotting destinations where your currency currently goes unusually far.
Why do some currencies show as unavailable?
A few currencies are pegged, thinly traded, or missing from the source data for parts of the window. Rather than draw a misleading line, the tracker lists them as unavailable.
