Your Financial Command Center

The dashboard is the first thing you see when you open Violet Codex. Every metric, every account, every trend — all in one place. This walkthrough shows you how to read the dashboard and get the most out of it.

What you'll learn

  • Understand every metric on the main dashboard at a glance
  • Navigate directly to any section using quick links
  • Review your asset allocation and performance trends
  • Export a complete financial snapshot for AI analysis
  • Create a shareable overview of your net worth position

Step 1: Open the Main Dashboard

When you launch Violet Codex, the dashboard is your landing page. Think of it as mission control — your net worth, cash position, and liabilities are all visible without clicking into anything. Before it shows useful data, you'll need accounts in the system. We cover that in the bank accounts walkthrough.

Step 2: Use Quick Links to Navigate

At the top of the dashboard, quick links jump you directly into specific sections — bank accounts, credit cards, investments, and more. This saves you from scrolling through the sidebar when you know exactly where you need to go.

Step 3: Review Your Financial Metrics

The dashboard displays four critical numbers at a glance: Net Worth (total assets minus total liabilities), Cash Position (money in all bank and savings accounts), Total Assets (everything you own with monetary value), and Total Liabilities (everything you owe). As you add accounts, these numbers populate automatically.

Step 4: Analyze the Performance Chart

The performance overview chart shows your asset trend line over time. As you log transactions and update balances, this chart builds a visual history of your financial trajectory. A pie chart breakdown shows how your wealth is distributed across accounts.

Step 5: Export Data for AI Analysis

The Export to AI tool creates a structured JSON file containing an overview of all your accounts — without connecting to a server. You control exactly what's included and can customize the prompt template. Drag and drop the file into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI tool.
