## What is FamilyMate?

FamilyMate – Your Minimalist Life Manager

FamilyMate is an all-in-one assistant for people who value clarity, efficiency, and privacy. Expense tracking, travel planning, shopping lists, school schedules, meals, and daily planning come together in one clean, native iOS interface—so you can declutter your routine without juggling multiple apps.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Expense Tracking: Manage everyday spending and cross-border travel costs in one place. Multi-wallet and multi-currency support, plus on-demand exchange rates, help you see where money goes—wherever you are.

• Living Timeline: See your day at a glance. System calendar events, meal plans, reminders, medication, and recurring expenses sit on one elegant timeline to help you stay organized and balanced.

• School & Family Routines: Track terms, class schedules, and school events alongside the rest of your day—especially useful for student families.

• Smart Shopping Lists: Organize items by store, adjust priorities quickly, keep membership cards handy, and shop with less friction. Optional family sharing via iCloud lets household members collaborate when you need it.

• Privacy-First, Local-First: Your day-to-day data primarily lives on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, FamilyMate can sync across your devices and support optional sharing for shopping, wallets, or trips—using your Apple account, not a FamilyMate-operated backend for your private ledger. No ads. No third-party tracking SDKs.

• Flexible Modes: Switch between Daily and Travel modes. In Travel Mode, track destination costs and currency conversions with clear totals.

Why Choose FamilyMate?

FamilyMate is built to stay out of your way: native performance, bilingual Chinese/English, and a privacy-first design that keeps you in control.

Whether you are: • a traveler planning trips and budgets; • a minimalist building healthier daily routines; • a privacy-minded user who wants local-first tools with optional iCloud when you choose it—

FamilyMate helps you simplify your life and manage each day with confidence.

•	Keyboard Stability & Layout Warnings: Optimize Auto Layout constraints when presenting/dismissing the custom keyboard to eliminate layout conflict warnings and improve transition smoothness.

### 1.4 Build 01 — 2026-08-04

FamilyMate 1.4

This update strengthens iCloud family sharing and fixes several sync and UI issues.

Sharing

Wallet sharing: Clearer distinction between an invitation and an active shared wallet (pending invites no longer count as “shared”)
Shopping list sharing: Pending items and “buy later” sync across family members; personal purchase history stays private by default
Trip sharing: Share a single trip (expenses & members) without sharing the whole wallet; join via AirDrop or invitation link
Membership cards: When shopping is shared, card add/edit/delete syncs to family members
Sync & UX fixes

Fixed shopping items not appearing on the other device: edits upload promptly; pull to refresh forces a sync
Fixed item author names being overwritten with your own name after sync
Fixed shared trips arriving nearly empty, and planned trips incorrectly showing as “Ended” for participants
Removed duplicate “Planned” labels on English trip cards
Added a keyboard dismiss control when creating a trip (number pad)
Other

Clearer trip amount display (home vs foreign currency)
Calendar timed-event layout improvements (flights, birthdays, and more)
Privacy disclosures updated for App Store compliance

### 1.3 Build 19 — 2026-08-03

No release notes.
