Fabled — Android App

Native Android client for FabledAssistant, a self-hosted AI second-brain and productivity assistant.

Features

• Daily Briefing — the primary screen; opens on launch. Shows your AI-compiled morning digest (tasks, calendar, weather, RSS) with a full conversation you can reply to inline. Refresh manually or browse past briefings from the overflow menu.
• Quick Capture — always-visible input bar above all tabs. Type a note or task and submit; multiple captures queue sequentially so the input is never blocked. Falls back to offline persistence when the server is unreachable.
• Knowledge — unified browsable feed of notes, people, places, lists, and tasks across six filter tabs. Tag filters, inline search (debounced), and two-tier pagination (ID list → batch hydration). Tasks load from /api/tasks directly and are fully integrated with the knowledge feed.
• Chat — streaming AI conversations with real-time SSE display, including live tool-use status notifications (e.g. "Calling create_note…"). Tap + to start a new conversation or open an existing one.
• Calendar — month strip + daily agenda view backed by the server's internal event store. Full event CRUD with a modal form: title, all-day toggle, start/end date+time pickers, repeat (None/Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly), description, location, and colour chips. Custom RRULE strings are preserved read-only.
• News — RSS article feed with per-feed filtering and reactions. Tap "Discuss" to open any article in a new chat conversation.
• Projects — browse and edit projects; tap a project to see its milestone-grouped task list.
• Voice I/O — tap the microphone in the capture bar or chat to dictate. Server-side STT transcribes audio; TTS reads assistant replies aloud in voice mode.
• Note & task editing — full Markdown editor for notes, task editor with due date, priority, project, and milestone assignment.
• OAuth / SSO — authenticates via your server's OIDC provider; local username/password login also supported if enabled server-side.
• Session persistence — stays logged in across restarts via a persistent cookie jar.
• Auto-refresh — data refreshes automatically when the app returns to the foreground (throttled to once per 5 minutes) and when switching between shell tabs.
• Auto-update — checks your Forgejo releases on launch and prompts to download and install new APKs in-app.

Building a Release APK

flutter build apk --release

The APK will be at build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk.

CI / CD

CI and build are defined in a single workflow (.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml) running on the shared py3.12-node22 act runner with the ghcr.io/cirruslabs/flutter:stable container.

Trigger	Analyze + Test	Build APK	Release
PR	✓	—	—
Push dev	✓	✓ (artifact fabledapp-dev-<sha>)	—
Push main	✓	—	—
Tag v*	✓	✓ (artifact fabledapp-<sha>)	✓ Forgejo Release + APK attached

The build job has needs: [analyze] — a failed analyze or test blocks the APK build.

To cut a release:

git tag v26.04.06 && git push origin v26.04.06

Requires a RELEASE_TOKEN secret (Forgejo PAT with write:repository scope) set in repo Settings → Secrets → Actions.
