Basic Recording

BeeCount supports three transaction types: Expense, Income, and Transfer.

Quick Recording​

Tap the "+" button at the bottom center to open the recording page.

Recording Page

Steps​

  1. Select Type - Expense / Income / Transfer
  2. Enter Amount - Use the number pad
  3. Select Category - Tap a category icon
  4. Select Account - Choose the associated account
  5. Save - Tap the save button in the top right

✨ Since v3.3.0: the amount keypad supports + − × ÷ — long-press or double-tap to switch, handy for splitting bills or merging receipts right on the keypad.

Optional Information​

  • Note - Add a transaction description
  • Tags - Add one or more tags
  • Date & Time - Change the recording time (for backdating)
  • Image - Add a receipt or proof

Edit & Delete​

  • Tap a transaction to edit it
  • Swipe left on a transaction to delete it

Transfer Records​

Transfers move funds between different accounts:

  • Select "Transfer" type
  • Choose source and destination accounts
  • Enter transfer amount

The system automatically updates both account balances.

Web Recording​

After logging in to BeeCount Cloud on the web, desktop entry is faster. There's no standalone "+" button on web — everything goes through the command palette:

  • ⌘K / Ctrl+K command palette — works on any page; the first item, "New transaction", opens the recording dialog on Enter (shortcut N)
  • Bulk operations — list view supports multi-select delete / export CSV (see Transactions)
  • Desktop keyboard flow — number pad, Tab to switch fields, Enter to save

The dialog has the same fields as mobile: ledger, type (expense/income/transfer), amount, time, category, account, tags, note, plus two extra toggles ("exclude from totals", "exclude from budget"). For a full walkthrough with screenshots, see Web: Your First Transaction.

Transactions created on web sync to mobile within seconds via cloud, and vice versa.
