Family Apps Overview

The suite of household tools built for one family — what each app does, how they share data, and how the Family Dashboard ties them together.

The family app suite is a set of lightweight tools built for one specific household. They share a common design language, store data in localStorage (with optional Supabase sync), and are readable by the Family Dashboard from a single URL.

Each app solves one specific household friction. None of them have subscriptions, ads, or accounts you don’t control.

The Apps

Family Dashboard

The entry point. A tabbed dashboard showing live snapshots from Budget Meeting, Home Maintenance, Date Night Planner, and Happiness Jar in one place. Read-only. Sub-1-second load time.

Budget Meeting

A bi-weekly ritual for two people reviewing spending together. Standardized meeting template, repeatable agenda, spreadsheet-driven data. Monthly close ritual covers Spending, Trips, Savings, and Investments.

Date Night Planner

A Claude-driven Q&A that collects weekly preferences and generates a full 4-6 hour date itinerary. Maintains a date history to avoid repeats. Sends a Monday morning surprise suggestion unprompted.

Trust Dashboard

A read-only crypto portfolio view in plain language — no private keys, no wallet connection. Asset explanations, daily yield converted to real-world equivalents, and a scenario calculator for big decisions.

Trading Bot

A Bloomberg-style terminal for the 15% experimental portfolio slice. Macro indices, live position P&L, configurable alerts, and a structured trade journal with thesis and lessons fields.

Family Tree Stories

An offline-first story capture app for genealogy. Each family member is a node; each node holds multiple stories from different storytellers. Graph visualization, three-tap story entry, works without wifi.

Fortress of Solitude

A private RAG advisor modeled on Clemens’ reasoning. Ingests ClemVault documents and responds to natural-language questions in Clemens’ voice, with source citations. Local-only storage.

How Data Sharing Works

Each app writes its state to localStorage using a shared key namespace. The Family Dashboard reads these keys directly — no server, no API call. The dashboard shows whatever the individual apps have saved locally.

For households where two people need to share state across devices, Supabase is used as an optional encrypted sync layer.
