+# Data Caching Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This app now uses a centralized caching system to avoid redundant API calls when navigating between screens.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **App Launch**: When the app launches and the user is authenticated, `DataPrefetchManager` automatically loads all essential data in parallel:
+   - Residences (all + my residences)
+   - Tasks (all tasks)
+   - Documents
+   - Contractors
+   - Lookup data (categories, priorities, frequencies, statuses)
+
+2. **Data Access**: ViewModels check the `DataCache` first before making API calls:
+   - If cache has data and `forceRefresh=false`: Use cached data immediately
+   - If cache is empty or `forceRefresh=true`: Fetch from API and update cache
+
+3. **Cache Updates**: When create/update/delete operations succeed, the cache is automatically updated
+
+## Usage in ViewModels
+
+### Load Data (with caching)
+```kotlin
+// In ViewModel
+fun loadResidences(forceRefresh: Boolean = false) {
+    viewModelScope.launch {
+        // Check cache first
+        val cachedData = DataCache.residences.value
+        if (!forceRefresh && cachedData.isNotEmpty()) {
+            _residencesState.value = ApiResult.Success(cachedData)

+            DataCache.updateResidences(result.data)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Update Cache After Mutations
+```kotlin
+fun createResidence(request: ResidenceCreateRequest) {
+    viewModelScope.launch {
+        val result = residenceApi.createResidence(token, request)
+        _createState.value = result
+
+        // Update cache on success
+        if (result is ApiResult.Success) {
+            DataCache.addResidence(result.data)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## iOS Integration
+
+In your iOS app's main initialization (e.g., `iOSApp.swift`):
+
+```swift
+import ComposeApp
+
+@main
+struct MyCribApp: App {
+    init() {
+        // After successful login, prefetch data
+        Task {
+            await prefetchData()
+        }
+    }
+
+    func prefetchData() async {
+        let prefetchManager = DataPrefetchManager.Companion().getInstance()
+        _ = try? await prefetchManager.prefetchAllData()
+    }
+
+    var body: some Scene {
+        WindowGroup {
+            ContentView()
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Android Integration
+
+In your Android `MainActivity`:
+
+```kotlin
+class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
+    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
+        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
+
+        // Check if authenticated
+        val token = TokenStorage.getToken()
+        if (token != null) {
+            // Prefetch data in background
+            lifecycleScope.launch {
+                DataPrefetchManager.getInstance().prefetchAllData()
+            }
+        }
+
+        setContent {
+            // Your compose content
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Pull to Refresh
+
+To refresh data manually (e.g., pull-to-refresh):
+
+```kotlin
+// In ViewModel
+fun refresh() {
+    viewModelScope.launch {
+        prefetchManager.refreshResidences()
+        loadResidences(forceRefresh = true)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Instant Screen Load**: Screens show data immediately from cache
+2. **Reduced API Calls**: No redundant calls when navigating between screens
+3. **Better UX**: No loading spinners on every screen transition
+4. **Offline Support**: Data remains available even with poor connectivity
+5. **Consistent State**: All screens see the same data from cache
+
+## Cache Lifecycle
+
+- **Initialization**: App launch (after authentication)
+- **Updates**: After successful create/update/delete operations
+- **Clear**: On logout or authentication error
+- **Refresh**: Manual pull-to-refresh or `forceRefresh=true`
+
+## ViewModels Updated
+
+The following ViewModels now use caching:
+
+- ✅ `ResidenceViewModel`
+- ✅ `TaskViewModel`
+- ⏳ `DocumentViewModel` (TODO)
+- ⏳ `ContractorViewModel` (TODO)
+- ⏳ `LookupsViewModel` (TODO)
+
+## Note
+
+For DocumentViewModel and ContractorViewModel, follow the same pattern as shown in ResidenceViewModel and TaskViewModel.
