[Feature] Household Reports & Statistics

[SafeBytes256]

Problem

Family members or household managers often lose track of expenses, shopping, tasks, and other recurring household activities. Without visual summaries, it’s hard to see where money, time, and resources are going and where improvements can be made.

Proposed Solution

Household Reports & Statistics provides at-a-glance visual summaries of key household data.

Key Features:

1. Financial Overview

   • Monthly income and expenses by category (e.g., groceries, rent, leisure)
   • Budget deviations & savings progress
   • Charts: bar charts, pie charts, trend lines

2. Shopping & Inventory Statistics

   • Most frequently purchased items/categories

3. Interactive Filters & Timeframes

   • Weekly, monthly, yearly views

UI / Interaction Flow:

• Dashboard with tiles for finances, tasks, and shopping
• Click on a tile to open a detailed view with charts & tables
• Export as PDF/CSV for family or personal archive

Alternatives Considered

• Simple lists or tables only: Not intuitive, trends and patterns are hard to see
• External tools (Excel, Google Sheets): No direct connection to app database, syncing is cumbersome
• Pro: In-app reports keep all household data together, are visually easy to understand, and accessible to all household members

Scope

• Dashboard (maybe addable)
• Tasks
• Shopping
• Meals
• Calendar
• Notes
• Contacts
• [] Budget
• Settings
• [ x] New module

Fits primarily in the Dashboard & Budget modules, but can be linked with Shopping, Tasks, and Calendar.
