Switching between modes

Once your family is linked (see Link your own family), moving between coach and parent modes is a one-tap action.

From coach → family

  • Desktop: the linked-family chip is in the top nav: ↪ Smith Family. Click it.
  • Mobile: open the hamburger drawer (☰), the linked-family chip is near the bottom.

The browser navigates to /<your-slug>. Your coach session cookie is still set, so you can come back without re-authenticating.

From family → coach

The family page has a small link in the settings section near the bottom of the page:

↩ Switch to coach mode

Tap it — you’re back at /coach.

How the cookies work

  • Coach session: __Host-coach_session — long-lived, HTTP-only.
  • Family sticky preference: tscal_slug — one-year non-HTTP-only, set the first time you visit /me and pick a slug.

Both can coexist. When you arrive at a family page, the family-side rendering uses your slug. When you arrive at /coach/*, the coach-side rendering uses your session.

On a phone vs laptop

The two modes work the same on both. On a phone, the PWA covers /coach/* specifically (via the /coach/manifest.webmanifest), and the family page is its own PWA (via /manifest.webmanifest). So if you’ve added both to your home screen, you’ll have two icons.
