Welcome to Secure Notes v1.1.0! This major release transforms the app into a comprehensive, privacy-first digital vault. Built with React Native and Expo, this update introduces bank-grade hardware encryption, multi-layered biometric security, and dedicated modules for managing your most sensitive data—completely offline.

What's New

Advanced Security Architecture

Hardware-Backed Encryption: All vault data is now encrypted using AES-256-GCM and stored securely in the device's native Keystore/Keychain.

Biometric Authentication: Seamless Fingerprint/FaceID login with device passcode fallback.

Dual-Layer Timeout System: * Inactivity Guard: Automatically locks the app when minimized or placed in the background for a user-defined period.

    Session Timeout: A forced absolute lock after a continuous period of usage to prevent unauthorized access if the device is left unlocked.

Brute Force Protection: Optional security protocol that automatically shreds/wipes all encrypted data after 5 failed authentication attempts.

Enhanced Categorized Vault

Passwords & Passkeys: Dedicated secure storage for credentials, featuring a live Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) Generator for 2FA secrets.

Secure Reminders & Events: Integrated native Date/Time pickers for scheduling private events and tasks, complete with status tracking.

Smart UI/UX: A new "All" dashboard with layout toggling (List/Grid), chronological sorting, and visual type-badges for quick data retrieval.

System & Settings Integration

Native Share System: Invite friends to the GitHub repository directly via native iOS/Android share sheets (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) or via the built-in QR code generator.

In-App Feedback: A categorized feedback system (Review, Suggestion, Report) securely integrated with native mail clients for direct communication.

Storage Monitor: Real-time tracking of the 2MB SecureStore limit to ensure optimal database health.

Technical Details

Framework: React Native / Expo
