## What is Simple Bookkeeping?

Simple Bookkeeping fills in the amount and date from a receipt photo or a picture in your library. Review it, then tap Confirm and save.

Receipts
One tap opens the camera or your photo library. The amount and date are filled in. Nothing is added until you tap Confirm and save.

Shortcuts
Add Simple Bookkeeping to Shortcuts, then place it on the Home Screen, the Action Button, or Back Tap. One tap records the amount and category without opening the app first. You can add that shortcut from inside the app. You can also say "Use Simple Bookkeeping to log one" to Siri, then answer the prompts for the amount and category.

Widgets
Included with the app. On the Home Screen: today's spending (small; medium has Add and Scan), this month's budget (small and medium, as a ring), recent entries (medium and large), and categories (small and medium, as a donut). On the Lock Screen: today's spending (rectangular and inline) and budget (circular and rectangular). Settings shows how to add them.

Free
- Income, expenses, and categories, in week, month, and year reports
- A default currency in Settings, with 27 currencies and favorites
