Firefly
Firefly is the planned finance-management application for the QiAccess personal system.
Its job is to make money activity visible, reviewable, and reportable without turning daily life into accounting overhead.
Purpose
Firefly should become the finance command layer for:
- account tracking
- transaction review
- category and context cleanup
- household and caregiver spending visibility
- exportable reporting
Relationship To QiAccess
QiAccess should remain the front door.
Firefly should be a dedicated linked app that opens from QiAccess when the task is:
- reviewing spending
- tracking money movement
- preparing finance reports
- clarifying household, legal, business, or caregiver-related expenses
Working Scope
Firefly is intended to cover:
- personal finance review
- household expense tracking
- caregiver-related costs
- business and legal expense visibility where needed
- reporting and export support
It should not try to become a bloated general-purpose accounting suite in the first version.
MVP Direction
The first version should focus on:
- accounts
- transactions
- import or manual entry
- review inbox
- categorization
- reporting
- exports
Starting Workflows
Daily use
- Open Firefly from QiAccess.
- Review new or uncategorized transactions.
- Assign category, context, or person where needed.
- Check current balances, spending, or recent activity.
- Export or report when needed.
Key reporting uses
- household spending
- caregiver support costs
- business or legal-related expenses
- uncategorized money that still needs cleanup
Existing Reference
The earlier QiLedger Blueprint already contains a much deeper finance architecture draft.
Treat that page as source material for Firefly rather than the final product name.
Initial Build Rule
Build Firefly as a dedicated app with a narrow finance mission.
Do not overload QiAccess Start with ledger screens that belong inside the finance app itself.
