The demo household

See The Margin with a family in it

This is The Margin with a made-up family already living in it: Marcus, Dee, their two kids and a dog called Pepper. 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

  • Marcus

    Civil engineer for the city. Cooks most dinners.

  • Dee

  • Ada, 9

    Walks the dog, saves for a watercolor set.

  • Theo, 6

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

  • Pepper

    The dog. Appears on four different lists.
