[![License: GPL v3](https://img.shields.io/github/license/xuhcc/beancount-mobile)](https://github.com/xuhcc/beancount-mobile/blob/HEAD/LICENSE)

This is a companion mobile application for [Beancount](https://beancount.github.io/) plain-text accounting system.

## Features

* Add transactions
* Open accounts

## Configuration

Beancount Mobile makes use of these configuration options:

* `option "title" "..."` - the title of ledger file.
* `option "operating_currency" "..."` - default currency for transactions.
* `1970-01-01 custom "fava-option" "indent" "4"` - number spaces for indentation.
* `1970-01-01 custom "bcm_option" "transaction_flags" "['*', '!']"` - allowed transaction flags.
* `1970-01-01 custom "bcm_option" "account_order" "to_from"` - show "to" account before "from" account in transaction form.
