The demo household

See The Margin with a family in it

This is The Margin with a made-up family already living in it: Alex, Sam, their two kids and a dog called Biscuit. Every page here is drawn from the same kind of data the app keeps, and none of it needs an account.

A read-only tour. The family is made up; the screens are the app's.

Who lives here

  • Alex

    Works from home and is turning the shed into a studio.

  • Sam

    Keeps the vet appointments and the grocery budget honest.

  • Maya, 11

    Walks the dog, saves for a watercolour set.

  • Leo, 7

    Feeds the dog on his days. Flips the Sunday pancakes.

  • Biscuit

    The dog. Appears on four different lists.
