Dashboard Overview

The dashboard is designed to answer a small number of useful questions fast: what is active, what is waiting, what changed recently, and where is the next piece of work.

• A quick snapshot of active household work.
• Signals about overdue or waiting items.
• Recent family movement and updates.
• Fast links into the feature area that needs action.

If your family checks the dashboard briefly each morning or evening, it becomes a coordination habit rather than another forgotten screen.

• Treat high-level counts as prompts to inspect detail, not as the final answer.
• When something looks off, open the source area directly, such as Chores or Shopping.
• Use the dashboard more often for scanning than for editing.

The activity area helps you understand what changed without asking everyone for a verbal update. It is especially useful when multiple people contribute across the day.

• See who completed chores or updated the shopping list.
• Track note changes and household movement.
• Spot whether work is progressing or stalling.

• Desktop is best for scanning more cards and comparing multiple signals at once.
• Mobile is best for quick checks, updates, and navigation while moving around the house or store.
• If the dashboard feels busy on mobile, use it as a launcher and open the specific feature you need.
