## What This Is
|
|
|
|
A local-first Flutter app for organizing household chores, built for personal/couple use on Android. Uses a room-based task scheduling model where users create rooms, add recurring tasks with frequency intervals, and the app auto-calculates the next due date after each completion. Features a daily plan home screen, bundled German-language task templates, room cleanliness indicators, and daily summary notifications. Fully offline, free, privacy-respecting — all data stays on-device.
|
|
|
|
## Core Value
|
|
|
|
Users can see what needs doing today, mark it done, and trust the app to schedule the next occurrence — without thinking about it.
|
|
|
|
## Current Milestone: v1.1 Calendar & Polish
|
|
|
|
**Goal:** Replace the stacked daily plan with a horizontal calendar strip UI, add task completion history, and task sorting options.
|
|
|
|
**Target features:**
|
|
- Horizontal date-strip calendar with day abbreviation + date number cards
|
|
- Month color shift for visual boundary between months
|
|
- Day-selection shows tasks in a list below the strip
|
|
- Undone tasks carry over to the next day with color accent (overdue marker)
|
|
- Task completion history log
|
|
- Additional task sorting (alphabetical, interval, effort)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Validated
|
|
|
|
- Room CRUD with icons and drag-and-drop reorder — v1.0
|
|
- Task CRUD with frequency intervals and due date calculation — v1.0
|
|
- Daily plan view with overdue/today/upcoming sections — v1.0
|
|
- Task completion with auto-scheduling of next due date — v1.0
|
|
- Bundled task templates per room type (German only, 14 room types) — v1.0
|
|
- Daily summary notification with configurable time — v1.0
|
|
- Light/dark theme with calm Material 3 palette — v1.0
|
|
- Cleanliness indicator per room (based on overdue vs on-time) — v1.0
|
|
|
|
### Active
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Horizontal calendar strip home screen (replacing stacked daily plan)
|
|
- [ ] Overdue task carry-over with visual accent
|
|
- [ ] Task completion history log
|
|
- [ ] Additional task sorting (alphabetical, interval, effort)
|
|
- [ ] Data export/import (JSON) — deferred
|
|
- [ ] English localization — deferred
|
|
- [ ] Room cover photos from camera or gallery — deferred
|
|
|
|
### Out of Scope
|
|
|
|
- User accounts & cloud sync — local-only by design
|
|
- Leaderboards & points ranking — not a gamification app
|
|
- Subscription model / in-app purchases — free forever
|
|
- Family profile sharing across devices — single-device app
|
|
- Server-side infrastructure — zero backend
|
|
- AI-powered task suggestions — overkill for curated templates
|
|
- Per-task push notifications — daily summary is more effective
|
|
- Firebase or any Google cloud services — contradicts local-first design
|
|
- Real-time cross-device sync — potential future self-hosted feature
|
|
- Tablet-optimized layout — future enhancement
|
|
- Statistics & insights dashboard — v2.0
|
|
- Onboarding wizard — v2.0
|
|
- Custom accent color picker — v2.0
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
- Shipped v1.0 MVP with 10,588 LOC Dart (7,773 lib + 2,815 test), 89 tests
|
|
- Tech stack: Flutter + Dart, Riverpod 3 + code generation, Drift 2.31 SQLite, GoRouter, flutter_local_notifications
|
|
- Inspired by BeTidy (iOS/Android household cleaning app) — room-based model, no cloud/social
|
|
- Built for personal use with partner on a shared Android device; may publish publicly later
|
|
- Code and comments in English; UI strings German-only for v1.0
|
|
- Gitea (self-hosted on Hetzner) for version control; no CI/CD pipeline yet
|
|
|
|
## Constraints
|
|
|
|
- **Tech stack**: Flutter + Dart, Riverpod for state management, Drift for local SQLite
|
|
- **Platform**: Android-first (iOS later)
|
|
- **Offline**: 100% offline-capable, zero network dependencies
|
|
- **Privacy**: No data leaves the device, no analytics, no tracking
|
|
- **Language**: German-only UI for v1.0, English code/comments
|
|
- **No CI**: No automated build pipeline initially
|
|
|
|
## Key Decisions
|
|
|
|
| Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
|
|
|----------|-----------|---------|
|
|
| Riverpod 3 over Bloc | Modern, compile-safe, less boilerplate, Dart-native | Good — code generation works well, @riverpod annotation reduces boilerplate |
|
|
| Drift over raw sqflite | Type-safe queries, compile-time validation, migration support | Good — DAOs with stream queries provide reactive UI, migration workflow established |
|
|
| Android-first | Primary device is Android; iOS follows | Good — no iOS-specific issues encountered |
|
|
| German-only MVP | Primary user language; defer localization infrastructure | Good — ARB localization infrastructure in place from Phase 1, ready for English |
|
|
| No CI initially | Keep scope focused on the app itself | Good — manual dart analyze + flutter test sufficient for solo dev |
|
|
| Calm Material 3 palette | Muted greens, warm grays, gentle blues — calm productivity | Good — sage & stone theme (seed 0xFF7A9A6D) with warm charcoal dark mode |
|
|
| Clean Architecture | Feature-based folder structure with data/domain/presentation layers | Good — clear separation, easy to navigate |
|
|
| Calendar-anchored scheduling | Monthly/quarterly/yearly tasks anchor to original day-of-month with clamping | Good — handles Feb 28/31 edge cases correctly with anchor memory |
|
|
| flutter_local_notifications v21 | Standard Flutter notification package, TZ-aware scheduling | Good — inexactAllowWhileIdle avoids SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM complexity |
|
|
| Manual StreamProvider for drift types | riverpod_generator throws InvalidTypeException with drift Task type | Revisit — may be fixed in future riverpod_generator versions |
