+ZenNotes is a local-first markdown notes app for writing, organizing, and connecting ideas without giving up ownership of your files.
+
+YOUR NOTES, YOUR FILES
+
+Every note is a plain .md file in a vault you control. Start with private on-device storage or choose any folder through Android's system folder picker. On-device and folder vaults work without an account.
+
+ZENNOTES CLOUD
+
+Connect an optional ZenNotes Cloud plan to:
+• Sync a vault across ZenNotes desktop, Android, and iPhone
+• Sync notes and attachments
+• Create manual and automatic daily backups
+• Restore a full vault or a single note from a backup
+• Publish notes to the web and manage their public links
+
+Cloud never replaces the free local-first workflow. Use it only when you want hosted sync, backup, or publishing.
+
+WRITE IN MARKDOWN
+
+Use a focused editor with headings, lists, tasks, tables, code, links, wikilinks, tags, callouts, footnotes, and frontmatter. A mobile formatting bar keeps common actions close to the keyboard.
+
+RICH, OFFLINE PREVIEW
+
+Render KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, JSXGraph, function plots, tables, callouts, and more directly on your device.
+
+ORGANIZE YOUR WAY
+
+Browse folders and tags, search the full vault, manage tasks, create periodic notes, and work with table databases stored as CSV.
+
+CAPTURE QUICKLY
+
+Create a quick note from the app or send text and links to ZenNotes from Android's share sheet.
+
+ANDROID STORAGE, DONE RIGHT
+
+The default vault needs no storage permission. The folder option uses Android's Storage Access Framework and a scoped grant to the folder you choose. ZenNotes does not request all-files access.
+
+PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
+
+ZenNotes has no advertising or tracking. Local notes stay in the storage you choose. When you enable ZenNotes Cloud, the account identity, connected-device information, and vault content needed for the Cloud features you use are sent to the ZenNotes service. Payment details are handled by Stripe.
+
+ZenNotes is open source. Your vault remains useful outside the app because it is made of ordinary files.

+## Data safety
+
+Unchanged. No new permissions, no new collection. Comment authorship is a
+name stored in the note's own comment file inside the vault; saved filters
+are a device preference.
+
+## Release checks
+
+- Native version: 1.1.17; versionCode: 19 (bump committed with the 2.46.0
+  pin). Capacitor 8.5 / SDK 36 / minSdk 24 / AGP 8.13 / Gradle 8.14.5.
+  Native changes: none on this branch.
+- Source: branch `release/1.1.17`. Commits: the pin move and bump, and this
+  pack. No shell changes.
+- Build is pinned to upstream `da59c372` (the 2.46.0 tag commit), up from
+  `3301a29` (2.45.0) in 1.1.16. Between the pins app-core gains comment
+  threads with authors and replies, the @ menu calendar, saved Tasks
+  filters, the folder-based Kanban board, and two math fixes; the bridge
+  contract gains optional comment fields (`author`, `parentId`) and the
+  `kanbanFolderRoot` view setting.
+- Verified 2026-09-08 at the pin: `npm run typecheck` clean against
+  app-core 2.46.0; `npm test`; `npm run build` production bundle. Not
+  exercised on an emulator for this pin release.
+- Matching ports: iOS ZenNotes/zennotesios `release/1.9.8` (build 19);
+  desktop ZenNotes/zennotes 2.46.0.

+# Play review and Data safety notes: ZenNotes 1.1.16
+
+Version 1.1.16 updates the shared ZenNotes app core from 2.44.0 to 2.45.0
+and ports the iPhone shell's 1.9.7 editing and gesture fixes to Android. No
+new permissions, no new data collection, no manifest permission changes,
+no native code changes, and no change to the Data safety answers.
+
+## What changed
+
+- Editor input: the note editor no longer disables the keyboard's
+  autocorrect, suggestions, and sentence capitalization for the note body
+  (an HTML attribute change on the editor's content element). The system
+  keyboard behaves as it does in any text field; the app itself performs
+  no text processing and sends nothing.
+- Editor toolbar: the Bullet, Checkbox, and Heading buttons insert their
+  marker on an empty line; the caret is kept above the toolbar that docks
+  over the keyboard.
+- Note lists: every note row (Home, Quick Notes, Tags, Archive, Trash)
+  answers long-press (an options sheet), swipe left (Archive / Delete, or
+  Restore / Delete on archived and trashed notes), and swipe right (pin).
+  These are the actions the app already offered elsewhere; Delete moves a
+  note to the app's trash folder, and deleting from Trash asks for
+  confirmation first.
+- Navigation: a new Settings → Appearance → Start screen preference lets the
+  user open the app on Home instead of the last note (stored on the device
+  only, mirrored to app preferences like the existing layout and gesture
+  settings). Home no longer reverts to the Tasks view after a vault
+  rescan.
+- App-core 2.45 fixes: arrow-key navigation in the editor's completion
+  menus, and a self-hosted vault behind a proxy without WebSockets keeps
+  refreshing over plain HTTP. Editor and sync behavior only.
+
+## Data safety
+
+Unchanged. The app collects no data by default; the optional ZenNotes Cloud
+account and any user-configured self-hosted server work exactly as
+previously declared. Local and folder vaults continue to work without an
+account, and no storage permission is requested.

+# ZenNotes for Android 1.1.17: app core 2.46
+
+A pin release, in step with iPhone 1.9.8. The shell is unchanged; the app
+core moves from 2.45.0 to 2.46.0, and five of its ten changes reach the
+phone.
+
+## What changes on the phone
+
+- **Comment threads with names.** A reply files under the comment it
+  answers and every entry shows who wrote it. An assistant connected over
+  MCP on your desktop can answer in the same threads; its replies arrive on
+  the phone through your synced vault, signed with its name.
+- **Pick any date from the @ menu.** The list ends with Date…, which opens
+  a calendar; Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow and Now stay one tap away.
+- **Saved Tasks filters.** Name a filter once and recall it from the chips
+  under the Tasks header.
+- **The Kanban Folder board** gives every note folder its own column, or
+  the children of one folder you name (kanban_folder_root).
+- **Math.** A $$ block inside a callout renders in both views, and Typst
+  formulas match KaTeX's size with square-root bars in the text color.
+
+Not on the phone: the desktop-only keymap changes (Unbind, ignored keys),
+the CLI fix and the remote-template routes, which need a desktop or a
+ZenNotes server.
+
+## Under the hood
+
+Shell-only release: the web bundle changes, the native side does not.
+Pinned to upstream `da59c372`, the 2.46.0 tag commit.
+
+No new permissions, services, or data collection.
