VaultBoard

Your notes, tasks & knowledge in one calm vault.

An offline-first React Native app that blends a note‑taking app, a Trello‑style task board, and an Obsidian‑style personal knowledge vault — with its own clean visual identity. No backend, no account, everything stored locally on device.

✨ Features

• 🏠 Home dashboard — today's tasks, recent notes, pinned boards, a productivity summary, and a one‑tap Quick‑Add button.
• 📝 Notes — markdown editor with auto‑save, live word count, tags, folders, cover images, pin/favorite, duplicate, and swipe actions.
• 🔗 Linked knowledge — connect notes with [[wiki links]] and see backlinks on every note; a lightweight knowledge‑graph hint in the Vault.
• 📋 Kanban boards — columns, drag‑to‑reorder cards, move between columns, with priority, due dates, labels, and checklists.
• ✅ Tasks — Today / Upcoming / Completed views, priorities, due dates, and recurring tasks.
• 🔍 Global search — instant full‑text search across notes, tasks, and cards (SQLite FTS5), with type filters.
• 🎨 Theming — light / dark / system, five accent colors, and an adjustable typography scale.
• 💾 Your data, yours — export to JSON or Markdown, share anywhere. 100% offline.

🚀 Getting started

# 1. Install dependencies
npm install

# 2. Run in a development build (Expo Go won't include the native modules)
npx expo start --dev-client

On first launch the database is migrated and seeded with realistic demo content (linked notes, a populated "Sprint Board", tasks, tags, and folders) so the app feels alive immediately.

Build a standalone release APK

The native android/ project is generated (not committed), so regenerate it first:

# Generate the native project from app.json
npx expo prebuild --platform android

# Build the release APK (needs JDK 17 or 21)
cd android
./gradlew assembleRelease
# → android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk

🗃️ Data model

SQLite tables: notes, folders, tags, note_tags, note_links (backlinks), boards, columns, cards, card_labels, checklist_items, tasks, attachments, settings, plus a notes_fts virtual table kept in sync by triggers. See src/db/schema.ts.

🗺️ Roadmap

Scaffolded with hooks/TODOs and ready to finish:

• Local reminders / notifications for due tasks
• Biometric / PIN app lock
• Calendar grid view for tasks
• Interactive knowledge graph
• Backup restore (import) — export already works
