Family & access

Family profiles
Full name, nickname, date of birth, email, phone, and an optional photo for every family member.
Relationship types
Spouse, children, parents, in-laws, and any other relationship you need to add.
Three access levels
Captain — the primary account holder, full control. Navigator — can upload, view, and delete documents. Explorer — can view and download only.
Individual sign-in
Every family member logs in with their own email and password, at their assigned access level.

Classification hierarchy

Three-level structure
Category → Classification → Sub-classification — matching how families actually organize paperwork.
Custom icons & images
Pick a preset icon or upload a thumbnail for any category, classification, or sub-classification.
Starter template
Load a ready-made set of categories and classifications. Safe to run again later — it only adds what's missing.
Reorderable structure
Drag to reorder, or set a manual display order for categories and classifications.
Folder mirroring
Every node in the hierarchy has a matching folder on disk, mirroring the structure exactly.

Document management

Owner & tagging
Every document has one owner, who drives the filename. Optionally tag other family members who should also see it.
Document identifier
Capture the number printed on the document itself — Aadhaar number, policy number, and so on. Searchable later.
Issue & expiry dates
Track both, with a "does not expire" toggle and a choice of which date is primary in document lists.
Free-text search tags
Add any keyword tags, independent of people or dates — purely to help you find the document later.
Mark as important
Flag critical documents for quick access from the dashboard and filters.
Document password
Store the password for a password-protected file itself, separate from anyone's login credentials.
Live filename & folder preview
See exactly what filename will be saved, and where, before you confirm the upload.
Inline preview
View the actual uploaded image or PDF without leaving the upload flow.

Dashboard

Overview stats
Family members, categories, classifications, sub-classifications, total documents, and storage used — at a glance.
Documents by category
A visual breakdown of where your documents actually live.
Needs attention
Upcoming expiries surfaced automatically, before they lapse.
Recent uploads & important documents
Quick-access widgets for what changed recently and what you've flagged as important.
Customizable widgets
Choose which widgets appear on your dashboard, rather than a fixed layout.

Settings & configuration

Appearance
Choose the vault's color theme.
Storage
Choose exactly where documents live on disk, with a danger-zone option to clean up all uploaded files.
Starter template
Load pre-built categories at any time — the same feature available during first-time setup.
Image gallery
Upload icons and thumbnails once, reuse them anywhere in the hierarchy.
File naming
Build custom filename conventions from tokens — profile, classification, document ID, dates — or use the built-in defaults.
Security
Choose between no encryption, or a vault-wide master password with per-file AES-256 encryption.
Backup
Optional, explicitly opt-in Google Drive backup, using your own OAuth credentials.

Security & privacy

Local-first by default
Documents are stored on your own device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere unless you explicitly turn on backup.
Encryption is a choice, not a default
No encryption, or a master-password-protected AES-256 scheme — you decide, per vault.
Transparent backup disclosure
saṃpuṭi tells you plainly that backed-up files are decrypted before upload, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to.
