How do I add an expense by hand?

Tap the plus in the capture bar. Type the amount on Pockito's keypad, choose Spent, Earned or Moved, and pick the account and the category. Everything else is optional: the date, who you paid, a note, labels, the place, a warranty and the items. Typing an entry is free, with no limit.

Every field, and what it's for

Date
Today unless you change it. An entry dated ahead starts counting on that day.
Paid to
The shop or the person. For income, this reads Received from.
Payment Method
How you paid, like a card, cash or Apple Pay. It's separate from which account the money came from.
Currency
The currency you paid in. Amounts are converted for your totals.
Notes
Up to 500 characters: details, reference numbers, anything you want to remember.
Labels
Your own tags, like a trip or work. Insights can total them.
Location
The place. Insights pins purchases with a place on a map.
Warranty
How long the warranty lasts. Pockito reminds you before it ends.
Items
Break one purchase into lines, each with its own category.

Questions

Why does Pockito ask for an account?

So every balance is right. An entry with no account still counts in your spending and your budget, and you can give it an account later.

How many decimals can I type?

Two, like 12.50.
