# Roadmap

Planned work, grouped by stage. No commitment to exact timing.
Items marked ~~strikethrough~~ have been implemented.

---

## Foundation

- ~~Accounts, user management, OIDC SSO~~
- ~~Full-database backups, scheduled auto-backups, restore~~
- ~~Android app with offline local mode and server sync~~
- ~~In-app updates (Stable and Dev channels)~~
- ~~Trace AI assistant (multi-provider)~~
- ~~Push notifications via Apprise, Gotify, ntfy~~
- ~~API tokens, webhooks, MCP endpoint~~

## Core Notes

- ~~Notes grid with pinned section and a quick-capture bar~~
- ~~Rich editor that stores Markdown~~
- ~~Checklists (text and checklist notes, switchable), drag to reorder~~
- ~~Pin, archive, trash (30-day purge)~~
- ~~Labels with colors, note colors~~
- ~~Full-text search across titles, bodies, and checklist items~~
- ~~Version history with one-tap restore~~
- ~~Uncheck All and Delete Checked on a checklist, from the checked-items bar, with Undo, on the web, Android, and the watch~~ ([#7](https://github.com/TraceApps/notetrace/issues/7))

## Android and Sync

- ~~Note sync with per-item checklist merge~~
- ~~Capture text and links from the Android share sheet~~
- ~~Capture images from the Android share sheet~~
- ~~Native reminders on Android~~
- ~~Biometric app lock~~
- ~~Editing offline in the browser, with an outbox that syncs when you're back~~
- Attachments offline in the browser: hold an image, voice note, drawing, or file on the device and upload it when the connection is back (today they need a connection; text, checklists, colors, labels, and reminders already work offline)
- Sharing, version history, and imports while offline: they need the server today, and say so

## Sharing and Import

- ~~Shared notes and lists with view or edit access~~
- ~~Public read-only links to a note, with link previews in chat apps~~
- ~~Reminders with repeats (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) delivered through push~~
- ~~Google Takeout import (Google Keep notes, checklists, images, drawings, labels, colors, links)~~
- ~~Markdown import (Obsidian, Joplin, and other Markdown exports), with images~~
- ~~Memos import from a Memos server~~
- ~~Evernote import (.enex, with images, checklists, tags, and reminders)~~
- ~~Blinko backup import~~
- ~~Share photos into the installed web app~~
- ~~Start Page setting~~
- ~~Markdown ZIP export, with images~~
- ~~Image attachments on notes~~
- ~~Reminder notifications in the browser~~

## Advanced

- ~~`[[Note title]]` links with a Linked From section~~
- ~~Timeline view alongside the grid~~
- ~~Voice notes with transcription~~
- ~~Quick voice notes (capture bar, hold +, home screen shortcuts) with suggested titles~~
- ~~Recorder pause and level meter; waveform player with speed and resume~~
- ~~Voice notes from audio files, shared audio, and Google Keep recordings~~
- ~~Timestamped transcripts and long recordings split for transcription~~
- ~~Android recording with the screen off, up to 3 hours~~
- ~~Text search inside images~~
- ~~Trace AI note tools: tidy, summarize, ask your notes~~
- ~~Note webhook events~~
- ~~MCP note tools~~
- ~~CookTrace integration: send a checklist to a CookTrace shopping list~~
- Word-by-word highlighting while a voice note plays. The line being spoken is already highlighted; this follows the words inside it. Ask Whisper-style providers for word timings (`timestamp_granularities[]=word`) and fall back to spreading a segment's words across its span, so every note behaves the same whichever provider transcribed it.

## Polish

- ~~Nested labels~~

- ~~Card-to-editor animation~~
