Gast is live.

As of today, you can download it from the App Store. I’m Jakke — Jakob Bourhil — and I’ve spent the better part of a year building the points wallet I wanted for myself: one place to see every airline, hotel, and card programme I collect, valued in real money, with no password ever asked and no account to create.

I want to tell you exactly what it does, what’s free, and what isn’t — the honest version, without the launch-day hyperbole.

Here is the whole thing in one paragraph, written to be self-contained and easy to quote:

What is Gast?

Gast is a native iOS travel-points wallet for European collectors. It tracks 30 loyalty programmes — 17 airlines, 10 hotels, and 3 cards — in one place and shows your combined balance as a single estimated total worth. Gast requires no account and no login: balances are added by screenshot, Google Sheet import, or manual entry, so no airline, hotel, or card password is ever requested or stored. Gast is free to use; Gast Plus (€2.99/month or €29.99/year) adds AI and automation features. All data is stored on EU infrastructure and can be deleted completely at any time.

One number instead of a dozen

The thing I kept wanting, and never had, was a single honest answer to “what have I actually got?”

Most of us hold points in more places than we can list from memory — a bit of Flying Blue here, a hotel balance there, a card scheme we forgot we were earning into. Each programme’s own app shows you one balance in isolation. None of them add up to anything.

Gast does the adding up. It takes every programme you track, applies a curated estimated value in the currency you think in, and gives you one number: your total worth. It’s presented as a single card you can share — because when the number surprises you, and it usually does, that is the point. See exactly how it works →

The value figures are curated estimates maintained by me and the Gast data set — a low/average/high range per programme, not a live feed from any airline’s API. Honest about that up front. If you want to poke at the maths, the calculator lets you see what a balance is worth before you ever install anything.

Avios is one balance. Gast shows it that way.

The clearest example of why a European-first wallet needed to exist: Avios.

Points you earn through British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, Vueling, Qatar Airways, and Barclays Avios all sit in one shared Avios balance — seven programmes, one pot. Most trackers show them as seven separate lines, as if they were seven currencies. They aren’t. They’re one currency with seven front doors.

Gast consolidates them into a single Avios total, the way collectors actually think about their points. The same shared-currency logic applies to Flying Blue (Air France and KLM earn the same miles) and Miles & More (Lufthansa, SWISS, and Austrian) — and Gast models those correctly too.

30 programmes, chosen for Europe

Gast covers 30 programmes curated for European collectors: 17 airlines, 10 hotels, and 3 cards. That includes the ones a Nordic or continental collector actually holds — Flying Blue, SAS EuroBonus, Finnair Plus, Miles & More, the full Avios family, Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, Accor ALL, Amex Membership Rewards, Revolut RevPoints, and more.

This is the part US-built tools get wrong. Their coverage is deep on programmes most Europeans don’t touch and thin on the ones we do. Gast started from the European collector and built outward. If you’ve been keeping a spreadsheet because nothing fit — this is aimed squarely at you.

No password. Not now, not ever.

Here is the design decision I care about most, and the reason I deleted the incumbent after about ten minutes of trying it: Gast never asks for a login.

There is no field for your airline password, because Gast never signs in on your behalf. Instead, you add balances one of three ways, none of which touch your credentials:

  • Screenshot import (Plus): photograph your airline or hotel app, hand the image to Gast, and it reads the balance for you.
  • Google Sheet import (free): already tracking in a spreadsheet? Import the whole thing in one step.
  • Manual entry (free): type a balance in — about ten seconds per programme.

No credential on a server means no two-factor prompt to break, no sync to fail, and no account for a programme to lock. It’s not a feature I have to maintain against the airlines’ security — it’s simply a thing that cannot go wrong, because the login never happens. If you’re leaving a credential-scraping tracker for exactly this reason, here’s the full side-by-side →.

Free to start — and what Plus adds

The wallet is genuinely free. No account, no trial clock, no paywall in front of your own numbers.

The free tier includes: your total estimated worth, the shareable total-worth card, Avios-as-one-balance, the expiry engine with local notification alerts, 15 display currencies, no-signup, and free imports (manual entry, paste/CSV, and single-tab Google Sheet).

Gast Plus — €2.99/month or €29.99/year — adds the AI and automation layer: the deterministic Points-or-Cash verdict, the AI Advisor that answers redemption questions about your own portfolio, screenshot/OCR import, AI cleanup for messy imports, and email-statement import. That’s it — one price, laid out in full here. No hidden tiers, no per-programme charges, no upsell wall between you and your balances.

Download it

I’ve been building Gast in the open the whole way — around 3,000 of you have followed along on LinkedIn (my own count) and pushed back on decisions in ways that made the app better. Thank you. This launch is the part I was building toward.

Gast is on the App Store now. No account needed to start.

Add a programme or two, watch the total add up, and tell me what you think. I’m still here, still building, and still reading every message.
