Sure! Here's what I do to add an expense from my phone:

1. Open the Drafts App on my iPhone.

2. Type "lfood", which triggers TextExpander with my ledger food expense snippet [1]. I make use of the TextExpander fill-ins feature [2] to automatically set the current date and to give me a list of dropdowns that I can use to change the account, but usually I just leave the default and only fill in the expense amount.

3. Enter the expense amount, select the credit card that I used from a dropdown if it's different from the default.

4. Trigger the 'Save to Ledger' action [3] that I created within the Drafts app [4], which appends the ledger entry to my ledger file on Dropbox.

I created a short gif [5] showing this entire process in action.
