Nerd

What Nerd is

Nerd is a study-and-productivity companion that runs as a mobile app (iOS, Android, Web) and a desktop application (Windows portable; macOS and Linux follow). It targets students and self-learners who want a tool that respects the local-first principle — your data lives on your device, in a local SQLite database, and nothing about your study patterns leaves your machine unless you explicitly choose to sync.

What it does today (v0.1.0)

• Cross-platform: React Native + Expo for mobile and web, Electron for desktop.
• Local storage via SQLite (mobile/desktop) and IndexedDB (web).
• Push notifications for study reminders (opt-in, local-only by default).
• Haptics and sharing primitives integrated.
• Lucide icons throughout; DM Sans typography for body, Inter for UI.
• Built on the latest Expo SDK 54 and React Native 0.81.

Where it’s going

The roadmap focuses on the study-companion features that don’t require server infrastructure: spaced-repetition flashcard scheduling, local-first PDF annotation, structured note-taking, and an offline-first dictionary. Cloud sync is on the roadmap — but as an opt-in, end-to-end-encrypted option, not the default.

Maturity

Alpha. Functional, available, but the feature set is small and the daily-driver story isn’t here yet. Suitable for early-adopters and feedback.
