FirePath — Screen Guide

Welcome! Pick any screen below to see how it works. Each guide starts with the simple stuff — just what you need to get going — and then, if you want, shows you all the little ways you can make FirePath your own.

1

The Dashboard: every card explained

Every card on the Dashboard explained: the big net-worth number, the monthly-change chip, the passive-income card, the total-cash liquid opt-in, and the tablet-landscape asset-allocation donut.

2

Net Worth, the FirePath way

The Net Worth screen with all the bells and whistles: heading grouping, drag-sort, per-owner sub-sections, the period-change chip, and the automatic monthly snapshot system that powers the history chart.

3

Tracking net worth across a household

Tracking net worth as a couple or household. How to enable Owners, assign them to rows, opt in per-heading sub-sections, and handle renames without losing data.

4

Income & Expenses: categories, periods, passive

Income and Expenses: categorise, normalise periods (weekly / fortnightly / monthly / yearly), flag passive income, opt into Lean FIRE, drag-sort categories in Settings.

5

Adding an asset, from ticker to total

Adding an asset from scratch: heading + type chips, ticker + quantity + price, region-default exchange picker, liquid-cash opt-in for Super-held cash, auto-fetched prices.

6

Recording a liability

Recording a liability: mortgages, loans, credit cards, HECS/SLC debt. The Is-Investment flag controls whether this debt counts against your Investment Net Worth.

7

The Snapshot drill-down screen

Tap any row on the History tab to open the snapshot drill-down: a frozen-in-time view of your full financial picture on that date, with per-heading breakdowns, owner splits, and the change versus the previous snapshot.

8

The FIRE Calculator explained

The FIRE Calculator: Lean, Regular, Fat, and Coast variants in one screen, with a projection chart and every assumption you can tweak.

9

Lean, Regular, Fat, Coast — pick your FIRE

Lean, Regular, Fat, Coast — the four FIRE variants, what each one means, the maths behind them, how to set up Lean FIRE step by step, and how to pick the right target for your life stage.

10

Personalise every list

Every list in FirePath is yours to shape: headings, asset types, income/expense categories, owners, exchanges. Drag-sort, show/hide, rename, add your own — rename cascades cleanly through referencing records.

11

Make it look the way you want

Theme, opening screen, top-card collapse, progress-bar animation, the monthly-vs-annual summary default, and how FirePath adapts to tablet landscape. Every toggle that changes how the app looks, in one place.

12

What you unlock with Premium

Automatic price updates, Google Drive backup, widget refreshes, unlimited holdings, the full 12+ month history range, and the Lean FIRE calculator. Everything Premium unlocks, in one place.

13

Where your data lives

Your data, where it lives, how it's protected. Local-first storage, optional encrypted backup to your own Drive, biometric lock, and a server posture that holds zero user data — only ticker prices.
