Long-Press Quick Actions on Every Transaction
Long-press any transaction card for a native context menu — edit, delete, convert to transfer, or split without ever opening the full edit form.
Five taps is four taps too many
Editing a transaction in most expense apps means tapping the row to open a detail screen, then tapping an edit button, then navigating form tabs, then saving, then going back. Common operations like deleting a duplicate or reclassifying an expense as a transfer should not cost five taps. Budgie surfaces all of them behind a single long-press gesture anchored to the transaction card itself.
The context menu uses native platform APIs — the system menu component on iPadOS and a bottom sheet on iPhone and Android — so the interaction is immediately familiar. There is no modal, no full-screen form, and no intermediate navigation step for the four most common actions.
How it works under the hood
Gesture detection activates after approximately 300 milliseconds of sustained contact on a transaction card. The menu appears anchored to the card, listing only the actions that are valid for that specific transaction type. Expense cards show Edit, Delete, Convert to Transfer, and Split. Transfer cards omit Convert to Transfer since it is already one. Split transactions expose a Merge Back option instead. This context-aware filtering prevents presenting actions that would be no-ops or errors for the current entry type.
