Local-first Android inbox for life admin

Android-first capture system with SQLite persistence, private Fastify/PostgreSQL sync, and background AI enrichment for tasks, reminders, people, projects, and life areas.

Living state / evolving

Reviewed 2026-07-18

LifeInbox has a working Android-first local capture and private sync foundation. Current work is about making reminder behavior, older enriched data, and the deploy path more trustworthy.

Inspect the reviewed state

Stable foundation: The Android app captures locally into SQLite, syncs dirty changes with a private Fastify/PostgreSQL server, and supports background enrichment plus inbox, lists, people, projects, reminders, and shopping surfaces.
Current question: Can reminder notification and resurfacing behavior earn trust through more live use while the local, GitHub, and VPS deploy path is normalized?
Latest meaningful change: Recent reliability work improved prompt and privacy handling, timestamp safety, reminder sync, and the documented source-to-deploy path.
Next validation: Use reminder behavior in real conditions for longer and reconcile the normal source-control deployment path before treating the current system as routine.
