## What is CustosNotes?

Most notes apps give you a list. Lists are where things go to be forgotten.

CustosNotes keeps the note where you cannot miss it: the top of your screen. Hold the circle, say the thing, let go. Then tap once and that note stays pinned — in the Dynamic Island, on your Lock Screen, in your status bar — until you decide it is done.

HOW IT WORKS
• Hold the circle and speak. One button, no menus, no cursor to find.
• Your phone's own recogniser writes it down, in your language.
• Let go and the note lands. It starts switched off; you choose which ones earn a spot up top.

WHERE IT STAYS
• Dynamic Island — the mark and the time, beside the camera (iPhone 14 Pro and later).
• Lock Screen — the whole note, readable without unlocking.
• Live Activities & Status Bar — pinned notifications and status updates that stay visible until you dismiss them.

REMINDERS, WITHOUT THE CEREMONY
Tap the clock, spin the dial, done. It saves as you turn. No date to pick — a time that has already passed means tomorrow — and nothing to confirm.

ALSO
• Type instead of speaking, for when you cannot talk.
• English and Spanish, app and mic together.
• Dark mode that follows your phone.
• No account, no sign-up, no server. Your notes live on your phone.

CustosNotes does one thing. It makes sure you do not forget it and your data does not get out of your device.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-05

### Recorrido de bienvenida (tour)
Nueva guía interactiva de primer uso, con nota de muestra, que enseña de verdad
los gestos de la app en vez de solo explicarlos:
- Crear una nota (mantener pulsado el círculo).
- Editar (lápiz) y borrar (X).
- Fijar / desfijar (círculo rojo → Isla Dinámica o notificación según la
  plataforma).
- Programar día y hora, y cómo la nota se mueve sola a "programadas".
- Cambiar de idioma (es/en), afectando también al dictado.

Textos nuevos en `i18n.ts` (`tourCreateTitle`, `tourEdit`, `tourPinIOS`,
`tourSchedule`, `tourLanguage`, etc.) en español e inglés.

### Acceso directo desde el icono (Home Screen)
Añadido `expo-quick-actions`: mantener pulsado el icono de la app ofrece
"Nueva nota" / "New note" para abrir directamente a escribir, sin pasar por
la pantalla principal. Requiere el plugin nuevo en `app.json`.

### Programación de notas, extraída y probada
La lógica de publicar/reprogramar/cancelar una nota (`applyNoteSchedule`) se
sacó de `App.tsx` a un módulo propio, `noteScheduling.ts`, y ahora tiene
pruebas automatizadas en `tests/noteScheduling.test.cjs` (`npm test`, nuevo
script). Las pruebas cubren:
- Registro anticipado de la notificación con su fecha.
- Separación del aviso sonoro.
- Reprogramación y cancelación.
- Lectura de una entrega reportada por el sistema tras reiniciar los módulos.

Las pruebas confirman que la app *pide* bien la programación; no sustituyen
la comprobación manual de la entrega real con la app cerrada (ver
`tests/README.md`).

### Accesibilidad
Nuevas etiquetas de accesibilidad para los botones de nota: `pinNote` /
`unpinNote`, `editNote`, `deleteNote` (es/en).

### Limpieza
Eliminado `widgets/NotaActivity.tsx`, ya sin uso — la Actividad en Vivo real
vive en `liveActivity.ios.tsx` (`createLiveActivity('NoteActivity', ...)`).

### Archivos tocados
`App.tsx`, `app.json`, `i18n.ts`, `package.json` — más `noteScheduling.ts` y
`tests/` (nuevos), y `widgets/NotaActivity.tsx` (borrado).

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-28

Until now a note only knew about now. Tap the clock and there is a calendar above the dial: pick a day and the note steps aside — it leaves today's list and waits. When the day comes it is back on its own, at the top of the list.

You decide in advance what happens that morning. A red dot means the note pins itself up top — Lock Screen, Dynamic Island — without you touching anything. A black dot means it just waits for you inside the app.

Tap "scheduled", under the app name, to see the whole month at a glance: one dot per day, in its colour. Tap a day and what is on it opens underneath.

Nothing about the old way changed. One tap on the clock still sets a time for today, and a time that has already passed still means tomorrow.

ALSO IN THIS VERSION

• Your notes now survive closing the app. Before, only the pinned ones came back.
• Fixed: a pinned note could disappear from the Dynamic Island and not come back until you reopened the app.
• Fixed: a reminder you had not cleared could reappear as a duplicate note.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-26
