Overview
Sermon Notes is a local-first Flutter app for capturing church messages and returning to them later. Notes combine a rich-text body with structured details including church, pastor, sermon date, scripture references, and tags.
Product decisions
The app stores notes locally in a Drift-backed SQLite database and autosaves editor changes. Search covers note content and structured metadata, while the library groups notes by church, pastor, tag, and month. Backups can be exported as JSON or protected with a passphrase before import and restore.
