# Daily & weekly snapshot

Tap a family member's avatar in the header to see **their day** at a glance. Switch to **Week** at the top for the next 7 days.

## Day

* **Greeting**: "Good morning, Maya" (afternoon from 12:00, evening from 17:00, household time). On their birthday it's "Happy birthday, Maya! 🎉". The first time a device opens someone's day, it adds "☀️ Here's your day".
* **Weather**: now (temperature and conditions), today's high and low, and the chance of rain. Only shown once a [weather location](/settings-reference/general.md#household) is set.
* **Today**: their events plus everyone's (untagged) events, with times and 🚗 leave-by times.
* **Chores**: theirs plus **Anyone** chores due today, with how many are left.
* **To do**: [list items](/using-kinwall/lists.md) assigned to them that are due today, overdue, or marked Important or Urgent (with priority dots).
* **Birthdays 🎂**: family members' birthdays (from [Settings → Family](/settings-reference/family.md)) and events in a category named "Birthdays".
* **Tomorrow at a glance**: tomorrow's weather, birthdays, events and items due.

Every section has a friendly empty state ("Nothing on the calendar — enjoy it.").

## Week

A row for each of the next 7 days with its weather emoji and high/low, then that day's birthdays, events and items due, and a short chores line. Undated Important/Urgent items and overdue ones show first under **Keep in mind**.

## Taps

* An event opens it in the calendar. An item opens its list. A chore line opens Chores.
* **Show only Maya on the calendar** (at the bottom) filters the calendar and chores to that person, like tapping an avatar used to. The avatar keeps its ring while the filter is on. Not shown on a display pinned to one member.
* An idle wall closes the snapshot with everything else.

## Assigning items to someone

A list item's **Assign to** field decides whose snapshot it appears in. Items with nobody assigned don't show in anyone's snapshot.

## For assistants

`GET /api/snapshot?member=<id>&range=day|week` (admin and display keys) and the MCP tool [`get_snapshot`](/integrations/mcp.md) return the same data.

## Not yet

* Getting your own snapshot as the morning push notification. The [daily summary](/using-kinwall/notifications.md#daily-summary) is still the household one, filtered by the device's members.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kinwall.family/using-kinwall/snapshot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
