Solution: iPhone and Home Screen Link for “Quick Add”

[SGiersch]

Creating a Home Screen shortcut directly to the “Quick Add” page does not work automatically on an iPhone.
However, there is still a relatively quick and simple workaround using Apple's Shortcuts app.

Using the Shortcuts App

With the Apple Shortcuts app, you can create your own shortcut that opens a specific URL. The advantage is that the URL can be edited later if needed.

1. Open the Shortcuts app and tap "+".

2. Select Add Action and search for "URL".

3. Add the Open URL action and paste the Quick Add URL.

   • The URL can be found under Nextcloud → Budget → Settings → Quick Add Page.

4. Set a name and icon for the shortcut by tapping the shortcut title.

5. Tap the shortcut title again and select Add to Home Screen.

You now have a Home Screen icon that opens the Quick Add page directly.

This is great — thank you for writing it up! The Shortcuts-app route is the best way around iOS Safari always defaulting home-screen links to the site root, and the bonus is that (unlike a normal Add-to-Home-Screen) the URL stays editable afterwards.

I'll link to this from the docs so other iPhone/iPad users can find it. (Also a heads-up: the next release tidies up the Quick Add date field on iOS, which you flagged in #235.) 🙏
