Public product roadmap

What exists.
What comes next.

RICE FINANCIAL is being built as a financial operating system first and a broader financial platform over time. This page tracks shipped features, beta work, accepted requests, research directions and long-term bets in one place.

Roadmap status is directional, not a promise of release dates. Regulatory, security, technical and partner dependencies can change sequencing—especially for banking, lending, brokerage, insurance, credit-reporting and crypto products.

LiveAvailable in the product today.
BetaImplemented and being hardened through real-user testing.
NextHigh-priority work targeted before broader rollout.
PlannedAccepted direction, sequencing not guaranteed.
ResearchActively exploring product, technical, regulatory or partner paths.
Long-termPart of the larger platform vision; substantial dependencies remain.
01

Documents, agreements + support

Keep the source material behind financial decisions organized, searchable and useful—from receipts to financing contracts—while giving beta users a direct path to report problems.

Private R2 document vault

Beta

Authenticated private file storage backed by Cloudflare R2, with upload, open, download and delete controls.

Document format + record classification

Beta

Classify records as physical, digital or both and identify receipts, invoices, statements, contracts, leases, financing agreements, tax files and other document types.

Multi-location document tracking

Beta

Track every known copy or original across RICE FINANCIAL, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, local storage, vendor portals and physical storage locations.

Agreement + financing term metadata

Beta

Store structured terms such as duration, APR/rate, payment amount and frequency, grace periods, late-payment terms and agreement dates alongside the source document.

Full agreement archive

Beta

Store financing agreements, contracts, leases, rental agreements, statements, PDFs and other supporting financial records in the same private document system.

AI Q&A over agreements + documents

Planned

Ask RICE AI questions such as what happens after a missed payment, whether a grace period exists, or what a contract requires, grounded in the user's uploaded source documents.

Answers should cite the underlying agreement and clearly distinguish extracted contract terms from general guidance.

Shared private document access

Beta

Allow explicitly authorized collaborators and Space members to open a shared R2 document without exposing storage credentials or granting ownership rights.

Upload and delete remain owner-controlled while reads are authorized server-side against the document's sharing context.

Transactional email via Resend

Beta

Branded server-side transactional email for profile invitations and notification delivery, with a Cloudflare-scheduled queue and per-category email preferences.

Custom Neon Auth OTP and magic-link email handling is implemented in the app; the corresponding Managed Neon Auth control-plane switches must be enabled before those auth emails route through Resend.

Collaboration notifications

Beta

In-app and optional email notifications for messages, financial sharing, record assignments, connection activity and bug-status updates, with direct paths back into the relevant workflow.

User bug reporting

Beta

Simple in-product bug reporting with owner triage, status tracking and optional update preferences by app, email or SMS.

In-app and email status-update infrastructure is implemented. SMS preference is stored now; SMS delivery requires a future SMS provider.

02

Recently shipped collaboration + trust

Multi-user, communication and security capabilities that have moved from roadmap concepts into the beta product.

Shared Spaces

Beta

Household, Business, Project and Custom spaces with member roles and permission-aware access.

Explicitly add accounts, transactions, bills, documents and payment requests to a Space instead of granting members blanket access to a user's finances.

Group conversations V1

Beta

Private named group chats for multiple RICE users with member-isolated access enforced at the database layer.

Financial items in chat

Beta

Send transactions, bills and payment requests in direct or group chat as controlled snapshots without automatically granting access to the underlying ledger.

Public financial metrics V1

Beta

Explicit opt-in public snapshots for selected high-level metrics through a narrow public projection without exposing underlying accounts or transactions.

Trusted assignment auto-accept

Beta

Allow a specifically authorized collaborator to have assignments accepted automatically when the user explicitly enables that permission.

Append-only financial audit history

Beta

Core financial records use AFTER-triggered activity history with direct authenticated writes to the audit log revoked, replacing the earlier rewrite-rule implementation.

Password recovery + verification flows

Beta

First-party email verification, forgot-password and reset-password screens are implemented against Managed Neon Auth.

Magic-link sign in

Beta

Passwordless sign-in UI and custom Resend delivery endpoint are implemented; activation depends on enabling the Managed Neon Auth Magic Link plugin and webhook events.

Opt-in data monetization

Research

Users explicitly choose whether eligible anonymized / permissioned data can be used commercially.

Advertiser / data revenue split

Share qualifying advertiser or data revenue with participating users rather than treating user data as free inventory.

Privacy, identity + enterprise infrastructure

Extend RICE FINANCIAL from private personal finance into privacy-preserving identity, credential security and organization-grade financial workspaces.

Fully anonymous accounts / profiles

Research

Optional pseudonymous accounts with no required name, email or phone attached to the financial workspace, limited to features that do not require identity verification.

Anonymous accounts would not be eligible for banking, lending, brokerage, insurance, payments or other services that require KYC / AML or regulated identity checks.

End-to-end encrypted financial data

Research

Design client-controlled encryption so sensitive financial records can be unreadable to RICE FINANCIAL infrastructure by default.

True E2EE must be designed alongside recovery, sharing, search, RICE AI and opt-in data monetization. Server-side intelligence cannot inspect ciphertext unless the user explicitly authorizes a decrypting workflow.

Password manager

Long-term

Secure vault for passwords, passkeys, 2FA secrets and recovery credentials integrated with the user's broader financial operating system.

This requires a dedicated zero-knowledge security model, independent security review and recovery architecture before release.

Access should be compartmentalized from ordinary financial records and protected by stronger authentication and explicit reveal controls.

Business / commercial / enterprise accounts

Planned

Dedicated organization workspaces with separate team logins, role-based permissions and independently controlled business financial data.

Enterprise permissions manager

Planned

Granular roles for owners, finance teams, operators, accountants, employees and external collaborators across accounts, scopes, records and actions.

Enterprise profile + record claiming

Planned

Allow an organization to claim historical business profiles, accounts, scopes and transactions previously created by an authorized user, preserving provenance and approval history.

HIPAA-ready compliance program

Research

Evaluate HIPAA administrative, technical and contractual controls if RICE FINANCIAL introduces workflows that store or process protected health information for covered entities or business associates.

HIPAA is not a generic badge for financial software; applicability depends on the product handling PHI in covered healthcare relationships.

FDIC-insured eligible deposit products

Long-term

Structure eligible RICE FINANCIAL checking and savings balances through regulated bank partners so qualifying deposits can receive pass-through FDIC insurance subject to program rules and limits.

RICE FINANCIAL itself would not become FDIC-insured merely by offering an app; insurance attaches to eligible deposits held at an FDIC-insured partner bank or future regulated banking entity.

18

Privacy controls + selective anonymity

Give users granular control over which financial activity is visible, hidden or anonymized across shared, delegated and social contexts.

Per-record anonymization

Planned

Mask or hide selected transactions, accounts, subscriptions, documents and other records without deleting them.

Blanket anonymity rules

Research

Create reusable privacy rules that automatically anonymize matching records, merchants, categories, scopes or entire sections.

Sensitive expense privacy

Protect private spending such as adult-content subscriptions, gifts, proposal-related purchases, medical expenses, trade-secret costs or confidential business activity.

Context-aware sharing redaction

Research

Share useful totals or summaries while automatically withholding sensitive line items and identifying details.

19

Secure communications

Make financial conversations private enough for sensitive household, business and personal communication.

End-to-end encrypted chats

E2E encryption for direct and group conversations so message content is not readable by RICE FINANCIAL servers.

Encrypted message attachments

Research

Protect documents, receipts, financial records and other attachments sent in chat with compatible end-to-end encryption.

Secure device identity + key recovery

Research

Design device verification, key rotation, recovery and multi-device access without weakening the encryption model.

20

Wishlists + shared purchasing

A modular wishlist system that connects planned purchases, shared gifting and real financial records.

Personal wishlists

Planned

Create fully structured wishlists with item name, cost, discounts, URL, merchant, brand, date, status, category, priority, notes and custom fields.

Shared wishlists

Planned

Share a wishlist with selected users, friends, family, households, teams or the public.

Purchase for someone else

Research

Allow a trusted user to mark, reserve or purchase wishlist items for another person without spoiling the gift where privacy is desired.

Wishlist tracking + reconciliation

Research

Track planned, reserved, purchased, received, returned or cancelled items and connect completed purchases back to transactions.

Modular wishlist fields + views

Planned

Support custom columns, filters, priorities, tags, budgets and layouts for different wishlist use cases.

21

Storage products

Expand secure financial document storage into a user-facing storage product with optional paid capacity.

Data storage subscription

Research

Offer paid storage tiers for users and businesses that need more space for receipts, statements, contracts, media, identity documents and financial archives.

Storage usage + retention controls

Planned

Show storage consumption, retention policy, archive status and user-controlled deletion/export options.

22

Personal SuperAI

Extend RICE AI beyond finance into a persistent personal assistant or coordinated AI team that can work across the user's broader life and business context.

Personal SuperAI assistant

Long-term

A persistent assistant that understands the user's financial system, goals, projects, preferences and approved external context.

AI specialist team

Long-term

Coordinate specialized agents for finance, operations, research, planning, business administration and other user-authorized tasks.

Permissioned cross-domain actions

Research

Let the assistant act across connected services only within explicit scopes, approvals and auditable permissions.

23

Native applications

Deliver the same financial system through fast, responsive native experiences across mobile and desktop platforms.

Native iOS app

Planned

A fully functional, fast and polished iPhone/iPad application with native authentication, notifications, scanning and secure local storage.

Native Android app

Planned

A fully functional, fast and polished Android application with feature parity and platform-native integrations.

Native macOS app

Long-term

Desktop application for macOS with secure local capabilities, keyboard-first workflows and deep system integration.

Native Windows app

Long-term

Desktop application for Windows with the same full financial workspace and secure local capabilities.

Native Linux app

Long-term

Desktop application for Linux distributions, with packaging and update strategy designed for supported environments.

Additional platform clients

Idea

Explore other native or embedded clients where they improve access without fragmenting the core product.

24

Crypto wallet + transfers

Move beyond crypto tracking toward a usable wallet layer for receiving, storing and sending digital assets.

Generate crypto addresses

Research

Generate and manage supported wallet addresses for receiving digital assets.

Receive crypto

Research

Receive supported assets into self-custodied or managed wallet structures and reflect them in the financial system.

Store crypto

Research

Securely hold supported assets with explicit custody, recovery and key-management models.

Send crypto

Research

Send supported assets with confirmation, fee visibility, address validation and transaction history.

Wallet address book

Idea

Save verified external wallet addresses and counterparties with labels, networks and trust indicators.

The direction

One financial system that can grow from manual tracking to the infrastructure people use to hold, move, protect and grow money.
