Tips for Fast Expense Logging with CashJot

Keeping up with your spending by logging daily might seem like a chore, but with CashJot, it becomes second nature. Once you get the hang of it, logging takes only seconds! Here are our top tips to make tracking expenses fast, simple, and efficient.

1. Clear the Form in a Tap

Need a fresh start on your log entry? In the Log tab, simply tap the tab icon again to clear out any entries. This quick reset lets you enter a new expense without any backtracking.

2. Put Your Most-Used Categories on Top

Your frequently used categories can be arranged right at the top for easy access. This way, everyday expenses like food or transport are always a tap away.

3. Skip Descriptions When They're Not Needed

If details aren't essential, there's no need to fill in a description. Focus only on categories for a quicker log, great for when you're only tracking broad spending habits.

4. Use Quick Log Shortcuts

Got repeat purchases like coffee or metro rides? You can add them to CashJot's Quick Log Shortcuts so you can log them in two taps, speeding things up even further.

5. Tap to Auto-Fill Previous Entries

When you start entering a transaction description, CashJot shows recent historical descriptions along with their categories. Just tap on a suggestion to auto-fill both the description and category, saving you from typing it in full each time.

6. Log Overseas Spending with Custom Rates

When traveling or making international purchases, use CashJot's multi-currency option with custom rates. Instantly see your spending in both the default currency and the foreign currency, so you always know exactly how much you're spending.
