TaskMind — Update 5.1 (v5.1)

🧠 TaskMind — Update 5.1

The reliability-and-reach release. Update 5.0 rebuilt how TaskMind looks; 5.1 rebuilds how much it can do and how much you can trust it to actually land the catch. It can now answer questions about your own items, track what other people owe you, transcribe speech natively on-device, reach your wrist, and plug into the system Gemini agent — on top of dozens of capture-, scheduling-, and Gmail-reliability fixes.

✨ New ways to act on your items

• Ask TaskMind — a private, on-device chat that retrieves your saved notes and answers over them ("what am I waiting on from Sam?", "what's due this week?").
• Waiting-On — track what other people owe you; it asks "did they deliver?" when that person is next in touch instead of auto-closing. Person-context reminders resurface an item the moment the relevant person is back in contact.
• Daily Brief & Weekly Wins — a morning brief of what's ahead and a streak-free Sunday recap of what got done.
• Reliability Doctor — a one-screen diagnosis of why a reminder might not reach you (notification access, battery, exact-alarm), with a fix for each.
• Task Fade + bankruptcy — stale, undated to-dos fade; one tap archives the whole faded pile.
• Magic Breakdown (split a task into a checklist), Ramble (segment a voice brain-dump into many items), Bounce-Back (snooze a message back as its original text).
• Semantic search, auto-tags + saved smart filters, full natural-language inbox editing, and a "What TaskMind knows about me" dashboard you can review and forget from.
• Priority (low/normal/high, LLM-suggested from urgency) and nag mode with alarm-grade escalation.

⌚ Reach & platforms

• Wear OS companion — capture by voice from your wrist and a next-due tile.
• System Gemini agent (AppFunctions) — TaskMind exposes createTask / getItemsDueToday / snoozeItem to the OS assistant.
• Capture surface pack — dynamic shortcuts, Direct Share, a clipboard chip, and a lock-screen widget.

🧠 On-device engines

• Native Whisper second pass — an optional, off-by-default whisper.cpp pass that upgrades the primary Vosk transcript when it materially improves it.
• System Gemini Nano via ML Kit GenAI — a second selectable on-device understanding engine alongside MediaPipe Gemma.
• Multimodal — with a cloud key, Gemini reads screenshots directly (vision), bypassing OCR.
• In-app model download, two-way calendar sync, and Recurrence 2.0 (completion-based repeats + auto-detected patterns).

🛠️ Reliability

Dozens of fixes so items and reminders stop slipping: a dead background scan revived (Hilt worker factory), SMS / notification capture hardening and data-loss guards, a database that's never silently deleted (quarantined for recovery), cross-OEM recorder folders, and deep Gmail auth hardening (real errors, 401 self-heal, pagination, charset, masked emails). Reminder scheduling is steadier across reboot, timezone/clock changes, and DST, and monthly reminders keep their anchor day.

🔒 Privacy

Speech-to-text (Vosk, optional native-Whisper second pass) and screenshot OCR (Tesseract) stay on-device; a screenshot goes to Gemini vision only when you've set a cloud key — labelled honestly and logged in Data Egress. Encryption at rest is SQLCipher (AES-256-CBC + HMAC-SHA512); the encrypted backup envelope uses AES-256-GCM.

📱 Install

Download taskmind-v5.1-debug.apk below and open it on your phone (allow "install unknown apps"). It's signed with the debug key, so it updates an existing install in place and keeps your data. Full details in the CHANGELOG; architecture in the technical documentation.
