Household Ledger

The main household operating application inside the Household Ledger Platform family.

Current shape: one Household Ledger app containing two internal product groups — Household and Core. Those groups organize the product map; they do not automatically require a separate top-level navigation layer.

1. Job

Household Ledger gives the household one place to understand and operate daily household administration, finances, obligations, records, matters, assets, accounts, planning, and durable evidence.

2. Internal shape
