Plan your day — on device. • Today: a focused home screen showing what's overdue, due today, and waiting in your inbox. • Plan my day: on-device AI reads your real tasks and suggests the few to focus on first. Nothing leaves your phone. • Optional morning reminder: one nudge, at a time you pick, with what's actually due — no streaks, no noise. Turn it on in Settings. • Daily Notes + calendar: one dated note per day, Obsidian-compatible. • Tasks: a vault-wide view of every open task, grouped by due date. • Math: LaTeX ($$…$$) now renders inline, on device. • Reliability: more dependable detection of your Inbox, Next Actions, and Logbook notes. Still local-first and private. No account, no servers, no subscription.
