Clan Ca$h is a family operating system: finance, calendar, chat, shopping, child tracker, locations, notifications, Android apps, and Kesh.

• Start from Home: it contains the most important daily widgets and quick buttons to the full screens.
• Full screens are for detailed work: Finance, Entries, Reports, Calendar, Chat, People, Map, Child tracker, and Shopping.
• Profile stores personal settings such as photo, language, theme, starting capital, and off-book savings.
• Admin is only for family setup: categories, budget categories/meta groups, members, children, and access rights. It is not needed for everyday use.

Where each important area opens from.

• Home is the default screen after login. Widgets have buttons, arrows, or cards that open the full module.
• The mobile bottom bar opens the most common areas. The top icon row gives quick access to chat, calendar, map, lists, and child tracker depending on what is enabled for the family.
• The email/profile menu at the top right opens Profile, Settings, Admin, Change password, Help, and Logout.
• Profile is for personal data and personal starting money values. Settings is for appearance, theme, language, and preferences. Admin is for family structures and is visible only to admins.
• If something is missing, check selected month, family/child, chat, and filters first.

The fast daily overview screen.

• The Finance widget shows the current money picture and the 📊 Finance button opens the full finance screen.
• The camera next to + scans a receipt directly from Home and opens the expense for review.
• Weather uses the last location or a selected city. Change the city from the weather widget settings.
• Calendar shows upcoming items; open the full calendar to add or edit events.
• The child widget shows today’s overview for the selected child: sleep, milk, food, care, walks, play, and health.
• The Kesh widget is for quick questions and checks. The answer stays in a modal; full chat is separate.
• People, Feed, Shopping, and Locations are compact cards into the social, shopping, and location modules.
• Widgets can be reordered and shown full width or half width so Home matches your habits.

Money, records, receipts, savings, and category control.

• Finance shows the current month, balance, expenses, income, categories, budgets, and shortcuts to entries/reports.
• Purchase/expense is a normal outgoing transaction: amount, date, category, member, note, and optionally photo/receipt.
• Income is incoming money: salary, gift, refund, or another inflow.
• Planned entry is a future or expected movement, useful for bills, subscriptions, and upcoming payments.
• Saving / off-book saving is money outside the daily balance, useful for cash, a separate account, or money you do not want mixed with daily spending.
• Scan receipt opens the camera, reads the receipt, and prefills the expense for review. Always check amount, date, category, and items before saving.
• Entries lets you search, filter, edit, and review history by month, person, category, and type.
• Reports show trends, groups, comparisons, and a clearer picture of where money goes.

Personal financial starting values are configured in Profile.

• Open the email/profile menu at the top right → Profile.
• Starting capital sets the starting balance used by the system for current money calculations.
• Off-book savings are savings outside the daily flow, useful when the money exists but should not affect the daily budget.
• After changing these values, check Finance/Home to confirm the balance behaves as expected.

Good category mapping makes budgets, reports, Smart budget, and Kesh more useful.

• Open the top-right menu → Admin → Categories / Budget categories if you have family admin rights.
• A normal category is what you choose on an entry: food, fuel, pharmacy, clothes, child, bills, etc.
• A meta group is a larger logical group: Food, Home, Transport, Child, Health, Entertainment, Savings, and similar.
• Mapping means connecting every specific category to the correct meta group.
• This matters because reports become readable: you see clear groups, not dozens of tiny categories.
• Budgets can be created by category or group. Wrong mapping makes the budget look wrong.
• Smart budget uses past categories/groups to suggest the next month. Better mapping gives better suggestions.
• Kesh also uses categories and groups when you ask where spending goes or how the budget is doing.

Monthly limits and a faster way to prepare the next budget.

• Open Finance → Budgets. Choose a month and a category or meta group.
• Create a limit, for example Food 600, Transport 200, Child 300. The limit is compared to real spending for the period.
• Watch remaining/over limit during the month, not only at the end.
• Smart budget can suggest a new month from a previous month: copy values, adjust by percent, round, and skip inactive categories.
• Review the suggestion before saving. Remove temporary categories and adjust seasonal expenses manually.
• It works best when categories are stable and mapped to the correct meta groups.

Children, care, feeding, sleep, health, and sharing with guardians.

• Child setup is in the top-right menu → Admin → Family / children / tracker setup. Add a child, profile photo, birth date, and access rights there.
• If a child is shared by another family/parent, you must be granted parent/guardian access to see it in the selector.
• In the tracker, select the child. If you have only one accessible child, the selector may be hidden.
• Sleep: record start and end or current sleep. For overnight sleep, ensure the dates and times describe the real interval.
• Feeding: milk in ml, food/puree/porridge in g or with a short note. Daily overview cares about totals, not count of rows.
• Care/diaper: mark wet/dirty/change/hygiene as appropriate, so the day overview reflects real care.
• Health: temperature, symptoms, doctor, medicine, and notes. Use it for tracking, not as medical diagnosis.
• Walk and play: record time, place, or note for a fuller picture of the child’s day.
• Photos and notes add context. Keep entries short and clear so they are easy to search later.
• The Home widget summarizes; the full tracker is for adding, editing, filtering, and detailed history.

Shared shopping lists.

• Open Shopping/Lists from the top icon or from the Home widget.
• Create a list such as Today, Baby, Pharmacy, or Weekly shopping.
• Add items with quantity, category, and note. Recent items and categories make entry faster.
• Mark items as bought when done, so others see what remains.
• Use shared lists for family shopping and separate lists or notes for personal items.
• If the purchase becomes an expense, save it in Finance or scan the receipt; the list itself is not the finance record.

Events, tasks, and reminders.

• Open Calendar from the bottom bar/top icon or from the Home widget.
• Create an event with +/Add: title, date, time, place, description, and attendees if needed.
• Use personal events for yourself and family events for things everyone should see.
• Check day and month views. Home shows nearest items, but the full calendar is for planning.
• Kesh can help write or check an event, but review important events before saving.
• If notifications are enabled, reminders and important family events can appear through browser/Android notifications.

Contacts, requests, chats, feed, and coordination.

• People opens from the people icon or Home widget. It shows relations, requests, and people/families you can communicate with.
• To add someone, use search/add in People: search by name or email, send a request, and wait for acceptance.
• Incoming requests are accepted or declined there. After acceptance, chat, feed, and sharing may be available depending on permissions.
• Chat has family channels, common chat, direct messages, and group conversations. Choose a thread, write, send photos, and react.
• When you are not in a private Kesh chat, call Kesh by writing “Kesh” or “@Kesh” with the question. In the private Kesh chat, just ask directly.
• Feed is for posts, photos, locations, and family moments. Do not use it for private finance data unless you want a social post.
• Badges show new messages, requests, or activity. If missing, check notifications and whether you are in the right profile.

Map, places, sharing, search, and navigation.

• Open the map from the location icon or from the Home/Locations widget.
• The center button returns the map to your current or last known position if location permission is available.
• Search finds places near you or near the selected area: pharmacy, shop, school, address, Lidl, and more.
• Radius controls how far to search. If there are no results, increase the radius.
• Walk/car/bike changes route, time, and navigation instructions.
• Live sharing shows movement for a period. Check-in is a short share of the current point.
• Stop ends active sharing/navigation. Do not rely only on closing the screen if you want sharing to stop.
• Visibility controls who sees the location: family, chat/group, or public depending on available options.
• Places can be saved/marked for later use in feed or navigation.
• Weather may use last location or a manually chosen city without changing location sharing.

AI assistant for checks, summaries, and faster work.

• Ask about finance: “how much did I spend today”, “how is the budget”, “where do we spend most”, “do I have pharmacy expenses”.
• Ask about calendar: “what do I have today”, “what is next this week”, “help me draft an event” — review before saving.
• Ask about children: “what happened for Victoria today”, “how much milk”, “how long did she sleep”. It works best with accurate tracker entries.
• Ask about shopping: “what is on the list”, “suggest weekly shopping ideas”; actual checking remains in the shopping list.
• Ask about locations: “find a pharmacy near me”, “navigate to…”, “where are the close people”, if you have permissions and location.
• In Home widget, Kesh is good for quick checks. In chat, Kesh has more conversational context.
• In family/group chat, mention “Kesh” or “@Kesh” so it knows the message is for it.
• For actions such as events, reminders, and records, check what it proposes before confirming. For read-only checks, just ask.

Messages, requests, and reminders.

• On first use, the browser or Android app may ask for notification permission. Allow it if you want push notifications.
• Chat messages and People requests can appear as navigation badges and push notifications if the device supports it.
• Calendar reminders and important family events can also use notifications depending on settings.
• If notifications do not arrive, check browser/Android permissions, login state, battery saver, and notification settings.
• When the same chat is already open, some alerts may appear only as badge/toast to avoid duplicates.

Phone access and updates.

• The Apps page opens from the login page or from links in the system after login.
• The main Android app/Wrapper opens Clan Ca$h like an app with Home, finance, map, and everyday use.
• The Messenger app is for chat, notifications, and fast communication access.
• The Child Tracker app is for faster child tracker work when the child is the main focus.
• The PWA installs from the browser and is useful if you do not want an APK.
• Updates are shown on the apps page: version, download/update button, and status. Install the new version over the old one.
• After updating, check login and permissions for camera, location, and notifications.

Where they are and what they are for, without technical internals.

• Open the email/profile menu at the top right.
• Profile: name, photo, language, preferences, starting capital, and off-book savings.
• Settings: theme, appearance, interface behavior, and personal preferences.
• Admin: family setup — members, categories, budget categories/meta groups, children, tracker access, and basic family permissions.
• Not everyone sees Admin. If it is missing, another admin must make that change.
• Do not use Admin for daily work; use it only for structure: categories, children, members, or access rights.
