9 features

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.

Beta

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

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.

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

9 features

Shared Spaces

Beta

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

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.

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.

A financial network where social relationships and financial permissions remain separate by design.
