To start using Monetal, first, you need to create one or more accounts. To do this, tap the "PLUS" button on the main screen, then type the name of the new account, its current balance, and select a currency. If you have more than one account, the Total panel will appear on top of the main screen to show you the total amount of all positive accounts.

Tap [+] or [-] button on account to add its income or expense. Then enter an amount and select a category. You can add a category by tapping on "..." button.

When you create a transaction hold your finger on the selected category, and you will be prompted to add a note.

Create a transaction by tapping the [-] button on the account where you want to take the money from. Then, simply enter the amount, and tap [↑↓] button to choose the second account where you want the money to be transferred to.
