Vivid - AI-Powered Second Brain Mobile App

Vivid is a beautiful, fast, and intelligent AI-powered Second Brain mobile app. Users capture thoughts, notes, voice memos, images, PDFs, and links — the AI automatically organizes everything, finds connections, and lets users chat naturally with their entire personal knowledge base.

📊 Development Phase: Backend Integration & Local Database (Phase 3 of 4)

We have successfully implemented all core UI screens and basic functionality. We have now integrated backend services (Supabase) and state management (Zustand) with local database persistence (Expo SQLite + Drizzle ORM) for offline-first capabilities.

Phase Progress:

• Phase 1: Project Setup & Core Navigation
• Phase 2: MVP Foundation Complete
• Phase 3: Backend Integration & AI Enhancement (Local DB Complete, AI Chat Integration Complete, Auth Complete, Syncing Complete)
• Phase 4: Polish, Advanced Features & Deployment (Onboarding Complete, Dark Mode Complete, Settings Complete, Task Management Complete, Graph View Complete, Production Ready)
