The family side of the VP3 Home Cloud. Encrypted messages, shared calendar, chores, stories, photo gallery, family wallet — every member of the household on one subdomain, served straight from your Cauldron. No WhatsApp. No iCloud. No surveillance middleman.
VP3 Family Brain runs as a subdomain app on the Home Cloud. The biggest single-app backend on the home server — messages, calendar, chores, photos, stories, voice/video, family invoices, family wallet — all tenant-scoped to your household, all stored locally on Cauldron, all reachable from any device on any network.
Member-to-member DMs and group chats with reactions. End-to-end encrypted, push-notified through your tunnel. No third-party servers between you and the people in your house.
Family events, birthdays, school schedules, appointments. Color-coded per member. Mirrored into the cross-app calendar so OB1 can answer "what's on the family calendar today?" from chat.
Drop in any image, audio clip, or short video. Organized by member, event, and date. Stored at full resolution on your server — no compression, no quota theater, no scanning algorithms.
24-hour ephemeral stories per member. Story views are tracked privately so members know who's seen what without surfacing it as social pressure. Stories age out automatically.
Per-member chore lists with due dates and overdue flags. Family grocery list shared across the whole household — anyone can add, anyone can check off, all in real time.
A shared family knowledge tree. Quick "family thoughts" broadcast to everyone in real time; longer "family notes" stay pinned. OB1 reads from it when answering household questions.
Family-AO peer-to-peer audio and video calls between members. No phone numbers, no Zoom account, no log-in screen for grandma — she just opens the link you sent.
Real-time alerts on iPhone, Android, and desktop the moment a member posts, messages, or adds an event. Web Push standard — no proprietary SDK, works through your subdomain.
Owner controls invite links, member roles, kid mode, and per-member service quotas. Revoke any member in one click. Grant a grandparent guest access for the week of a holiday.
Per-member allowances and a family-level wallet. Family invoices for shared expenses — kids' activities, household bills, member-to-member IOUs — all tracked in one ledger.
Bring in a nanny, tutor, or housekeeper as a scoped "employee" member with blackout dates that auto-sync into the family calendar. Service quotas cap how much each member can use.
Designate which members inherit which data when an account closes. Photos to one member, messages to another. Set it once — your family thanks you later.
Every admin action — invites issued, members removed, quotas changed, data moves — written to an audit log only the owner can read. Trust but verify, even at home.
Member invite tokens and session tokens are hashed at rest — a database breach never exposes live credentials. Indexed hash lookup means auth checks stay fast as the family grows.
"Who's online." "Any new messages." "Open family calendar." "Family events today." "Chores overdue." OB1 reads stats from a no-PII counts endpoint and routes voice phrases to the right view.
Family Brain readers can subscribe to the Kitchen's recipes, the Storefront's family-coupon broadcasts, and the Calendar's mirrored events. Each household app feeds the others.
Family Brain ships with an App Goals tree — OB1 walks the operator through getting the household production-ready, one step at a time, with skill suggestions and AI handoffs for the heavy lifts.
