# Quick Add

> Log a spend from any screen by holding the navigation bar. Merchant names auto-pull an icon, and duplicates are detected.

Quick Add is a compact sheet for capturing a spend the moment it happens — a lunch, a gas fill-up, an impulse buy. You do not have to leave the screen you are on.

## Open Quick Add

**Hold the navigation bar.** Press and hold anywhere on the floating pill at the bottom for about 700 milliseconds. The bar fills with your accent color, compresses into a **+**, and the sheet rises.

* Works from every tab: Dashboard, Directory, History, Fund Flow, Settings
* A quick tap still switches tabs — only a sustained hold opens Quick Add
* On the Dashboard, the receipt-scan icon opens the scanner instead, which fills in the same form for you

## Fill out the sheet

The sheet has three rows with two fields each.

| Row                            | What to enter                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Where from?** + **Icon**     | Type a merchant name such as Amazon, Starbucks, or Target. After a short pause the icon is pulled automatically from the merchant's website favicon. Tap the icon square to choose a different one. |
| **What is it?** + **Category** | Describe the purchase and pick a category. Category is optional — leave it blank for uncategorized.                                                                                                 |
| **Amount** + **Date**          | Enter the amount. The date defaults to today; tap it to open the calendar picker.                                                                                                                   |

## Save, dismiss, and duplicates

Tap **Save It** to log the expense. A confirmation overlay plays for a couple of seconds, then the sheet closes.

If the merchant name matches an item you already track, DueZen asks which you want:

* **Add to existing** — records a payment in that item's history
* **Save as new** — creates a separate entry with its own reminder

To dismiss without saving, tap the **×** in the top-right corner, tap the dim backdrop, or swipe down.

<Tip>
  Quick Add is the right tool for one-off spending. For anything that repeats, add it as a proper item so it gets a due date and a reminder. See [Add your first item](/getting-started/add-your-first-item).
