Progress update: September 2026

What's built

The core of FamiliaSync is working on real devices today. The app runs on a local data layer, so every feature below functions with no internet connection at all.

• Reminders and a shared family calendar with week views
• Budget and expense tracking with monthly income/expense summaries
• Shared shopping lists that check off in real time
• Meal planner, tasks, notes, and a documents vault with OCR
• Receipts, medical records, inventory, vehicles, meter readings, and bucket lists
• An on-device AI assistant that answers with no internet at all

Security is in place

The app's data is protected with AES-256-GCM encryption, behind your PIN and biometrics. Secrets never leave the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore. Sync between family devices is manual and command-driven - an encrypted, device-to-device transfer that you initiate.

How sync actually works

Sync is the piece people ask about most, so it's worth being precise. There is no FamiliaSync server relaying your data. When you want two devices to share state, you initiate an encrypted transfer directly between them - device to device, over a channel you approve. Your calendar, lists, and budgets move straight from one phone to the other; nothing passes through us because there is no 'us' in the path.

The trade-off is deliberate: sync happens when you ask for it, not silently in the background. It costs one extra step, and in exchange there is no account to hack, no server to breach, and no company holding a copy of your family's routine.

What's next

Before release, three things need to be right:

1. 1Polishing the sync flow so pairing a second device feels obvious, not technical
2. 2Finishing platform-specific work for iOS and Android - keystore handling, background behavior, and store requirements
3. 3Hardening the on-device assistant so it reliably knows when to act and when to ask

The waitlist is open - members will be the first to know when FamiliaSync is released.
