# Nikki
A native Android client for [Memos](https://usememos.com) with integrated Todoist-style task management, built with Compose Multiplatform and inspired by the Windows Phone Metro design language.
The name comes from the Japanese word 日記 (nikki), meaning diary.
## Why Nikki
Memos is a great self-hosted note-taking tool, but its mobile experience is limited to a PWA. Nikki exists to be a proper native client that feels at home on your phone — fast, offline-capable, and opinionated about how notes and tasks should work together.
### Why Windows Phone
The Metro design language was the most readable, information-dense, and distraction-free mobile UI ever shipped. Large typography, flat surfaces, no chrome — it respected both content and the person reading it. Nikki borrows that philosophy: panorama pivot navigation, all 20 WP8 accent colors, and the principle that UI should get out of the way.
### Why Tasks Inside Notes
Most people track tasks in their notes anyway — `- [ ] buy milk` scattered across memos. Nikki parses those checkboxes and gives them structure: due dates, priorities, reminders, grouping. Your notes stay as plain markdown. The task layer is derived, not duplicated. One source of truth, two ways to see it.
### The Logo
Inspired by the Google Foobar challenge logo, adapted into a circle. A pink circle carries a 47-degree annular wedge on the right — black where it overlaps, teal where it extends beyond. Construction details are in [LOGO.md](LOGO.md).
## Features
**Memos**
- Full CRUD with the Memos API (create, edit, pin, archive, delete)
- Rich markdown rendering: headings, bold/italic, strikethrough, code blocks, tables, links, task checkboxes
- Media attachments with authenticated image loading
- Emoji reactions and comments
- Visibility control (private, protected, public)
- Pull-to-refresh sync with configurable interval
**Tasks**
- Todoist-inspired syntax parsed from markdown checkboxes (see [TASK_FORMAT.md](TASK_FORMAT.md))
- Due dates (ISO and natural: today, tomorrow), times (12h/24h), priorities (p1-p3), reminders, tags
- Group by due date, list, priority, source memo, or status
- Sort by due date or priority
- Parser doctor: inline error/warning detection with typo suggestions
- Android notifications with 4 priority channels (p1 bypasses DND)
**Explorer**
- Activity calendar with memo density heatmap
- Tag browser with counts
- Date and search filtering
- Archived memos view
**Offline**
- Room database cache for offline reading
- Pending sync queue for offline edits (auto-drains on reconnect)
- Sync status banner with last-synced time
**Personalization**
- 3 themes: dark, light, AMOLED black
- 20 WP8 accent colors (lime, green, emerald, teal, cyan, cobalt, indigo, violet, pink, magenta, crimson, red, orange, amber, yellow, brown, olive, steel, mauve, taupe)
- Configurable week start day, default visibility, default reminder
**Backup**
- Export/import memos as JSON
- Backup rules exclude credentials from cloud backup
## Requirements
- Android 8.0+ (API 26)
- A running [Memos](https://github.com/usememos/memos) instance (v0.22+)
- JDK 11+
## Building
```bash
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/avinal/nikki.git
cd nikki

```
The project uses Gradle 9.4 with the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin. Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA with the Compose Multiplatform plugin is recommended for development.
## Installation
Download the latest APK from [Releases](https://github.com/avinal/nikki/releases), or build from source using the instructions above.
On first launch, enter your Memos server URL and an access token (generate one in your Memos account settings).
## Tech Stack

|-------|-----------|
| UI | Compose Multiplatform 1.11, Material 3 |
| Language | Kotlin 2.3 |
| Networking | Ktor 3.5 |
| Database | Room 2.8 (multiplatform) |
| Image loading | Coil 3.4 |
| Background work | WorkManager + AlarmManager |

## Disclaimer
This project was built almost entirely with the help of AI (Claude). I am not an Android developer by trade, and this is my first serious mobile app. Considerable effort has been made to avoid security vulnerabilities, bloat, and deprecated patterns - including a dedicated security review; but gaps may exist.
If you find a security issue, bug, or anything concerning, please [open an issue](https://github.com/avinal/nikki/issues) or email me at ripple@avinal.space.

# Task Format
Nikki extracts tasks from standard markdown checkboxes in your memos. Any line matching `- [ ]` or `- [x]` is parsed as a task. Metadata is extracted inline — no special syntax beyond what you'd naturally write.
## Basic Format
```
- [ ] task description [due-date] [due-time] [!reminder] [p#] [#list]
```
All metadata fields are optional. Order doesn't matter. The task text is everything that remains after metadata is stripped.
## Due Dates
ISO format or natural language.
| Input | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `2026-06-15` | June 15, 2026 |
| `today` | Today's date |
| `tomorrow` | Tomorrow |
| `yesterday` | Yesterday |
```
- [ ] submit report 2026-06-15
- [ ] buy milk today
```
## Due Times
12-hour or 24-hour format.
| Input | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `5pm` | 17:00 |
| `10:30am` | 10:30 |
| `14:00` | 14:00 |
| `9am` | 09:00 |
```
- [ ] standup today 9am
- [ ] deploy 2026-06-15 14:00
```
If a time is set without a date, today is assumed (with a warning).
## Reminders
How far before the due date/time to send a notification. Prefixed with `!`.
| Input | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `!30min` | 30 minutes before |
| `!1hr` | 1 hour before |
| `!2day` | 2 days before |
| `!1week` | 1 week before |
```
- [ ] dentist tomorrow 3pm !1hr
- [ ] taxes 2026-04-15 !1week
```
A reminder without a due date or time is flagged as an error — there's nothing to count back from.
## Priority
Three levels: p1 (high), p2 (medium), p3 (low).
| Level | Notification behavior |
|-------|----------------------|
| `p1` | Alarm sound, vibration, bypasses DND |
| `p2` | Notification sound, heads-up |
| `p3` | Notification sound, subtle |
```
- [ ] server is down p1
- [ ] update docs p3
```
Tasks without a priority are treated as unclassified (silent notification).
## Lists / Tags
Hashtags assign tasks to lists. A task can belong to multiple lists.
```
- [ ] buy groceries #shopping
- [ ] fix login bug #backend #urgent
```
If a task has no `#tag`, it inherits the memo-level tags (tags set at the top of the memo). Task-level tags always take priority over memo-level tags.
## Complete Examples
```markdown
# Sprint 14
- [ ] fix auth timeout 2026-06-10 p1 #backend
- [ ] update onboarding copy tomorrow 5pm !30min p2 #frontend
- [ ] write migration tests 2026-06-12 #backend #testing
- [x] deploy staging
- [ ] review PR today 3pm !15min p2
- [ ] buy coffee #personal
```
This produces 6 tasks. The completed one (`deploy staging`) is tracked but excluded from validation. Tasks can be grouped by due date, list, priority, source memo, or completion status.
## Validation
The parser doctor checks incomplete tasks for issues and shows inline warnings/errors in the task view.
### Errors
| Issue | Example | Message |
|-------|---------|---------|
| Invalid date | `2026-13-45` | invalid date, use YYYY-MM-DD format |
| Invalid priority | `p5` | invalid priority, only p1, p2, p3 are supported |
| Reminder without due | `!30min` (no date/time) | reminder has no due date or time to count back from |
| Invalid reminder unit | `!5blah` | invalid reminder unit, use min, hr, day, or week |
### Warnings
| Issue | Example | Message |
|-------|---------|---------|
| Time without date | `5pm` (no date) | time without date, using today |
| Past date | `2020-01-01` | date is in the past |
| Multiple priorities | `p1 p2` | multiple priorities, using first (p1) |
| Multiple dates | `2026-06-01 2026-07-01` | multiple dates found, using first |
| Multiple reminders | `!30min !1hr` | multiple reminders, using first |
| Typo | `tomorow` | did you mean "tomorrow"? |
### Typo Detection
Common misspellings are caught and suggestions offered:
- `tday`, `todya`, `toaday`, `toady` → today
- `tmrw`, `tomorow`, `tommorow` → tomorrow
- `yestrday`, `ysterday` → yesterday
- Day name typos: `munday`, `tusday`, `wendsday`, `thurday`, `firday`, `saterday`, `sundie`, etc.
## Notification Behavior
When a task has both a due date/time and a reminder, two notifications may fire:
1. **Reminder notification** — fires `!duration` before the due time
2. **Due notification** — fires at the due time itself
If a task has a date but no time, the notification fires at the default notify time (configurable in settings, default 8pm).
If a task has neither date nor time, no notification is scheduled.
