Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Oftentimes, especially on mobile, I want to just add a transaction and be done with it. Currently, initializing the Actual budget app waits for the entire budget with all accounts and transactions to load. This takes upwards of 30 seconds on my Android mobile device.

The current "Add Transaction" shortcut loads the entire budget before redirecting to the Add Transaction page.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Create a route that loads the minimal data necessary to support transaction additions. Then I can just direct my mobile device to the "Add Transaction" action without having to load the entire budget.
