## What Vulcan Organizer is

Vulcan Organizer is a complete personal organizer web application, positioned
as the spiritual successor of the discontinued IBM Lotus Organizer
(1992–2013). It combines calendar, tasks, notes, weekly planner, an encrypted
password vault, and AI-assisted daily summaries in a single skeuomorphic
"leather book" interface. Deployed as an installable Progressive Web App
(PWA), it runs offline-first with bidirectional Google Calendar and Google
Tasks sync.

## Key features

### Calendar
- Daily, weekly, monthly views
- Bidirectional sync with Google Calendar (accepts multiple accounts)
- Native event creation with reminders and repetition rules
- Visual "stamps" (86+ drag-and-drop icons across 11 categories) that
  categorize events without requiring text tags

### Tasks
- Priorities, categories, and due dates
- Bidirectional sync with Google Tasks
- Two-panel layout (list + right-page detail) mirroring the Lotus Organizer
  planner metaphor
- AI-assisted prioritization suggestions

### Notes
- Rich text editor (BlockNote-based) with markdown-compatible output
- Emoji picker with local (@emoji-mart) data — no network call
- 86+ visual stamps shared with calendar/tasks
- Attachments backed by Backblaze B2 (S3-compatible), migration from
  Supabase Storage in progress (see storage architecture plan)

### Weekly Planner
- Paper-style Gantt view
- Drag-and-drop task allocation to time slots
- Reflects the physical planner layout users remember from Lotus and
  paper Filofax organizers

### Password Vault
- Native encrypted vault (client-side AES-256 via Web Crypto API)
- Replaces the "Anniversary" tab of the original Lotus Organizer with
  something useful for 2026
- Never leaves the browser unencrypted

### Notebooks
- Long-form journaling, templates, per-notebook themes
- Templates seeded via scripts/seed-notebook-templates.ts

### AI-powered daily summaries
- Contextual assistant reads (with user consent) the day's events, tasks,
  and notes to generate a natural-language morning briefing
- Runs on a per-user quota (ai_usage_log with 365-day retention, updated
  in the DPA §10 revision on 2026-06-something)

### Web Push notifications
- VAPID-based via web-push library
- Works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari macOS, and iOS Safari ≥ 16.4 as PWA
- Real-time reminders even when the app is closed

## Themes

10+ visual "leather book" themes: Classic Green, Burgundy, Dark Leather,
Vulcan Modern, Apple Pie, Minimal, and more. Each theme swaps CSS custom
properties for typography (--font-body, --font-heading) and paper texture,
without recompiling.

## Compare Vulcan Organizer to alternatives

- **vs Notion**: Notion is a team wiki with database blocks. Vulcan Organizer
  is a personal productivity hub with visual style, offline support, and a
  built-in password vault.
- **vs Todoist**: Todoist is task-only. Vulcan Organizer adds calendar, notes,
  password vault, and 86+ visual stamps in a unified interface.
- **vs Google Calendar**: Calendar is scheduling only. Vulcan Organizer adds
  tasks, notes, planner, and password vault — plus imports from Google
  Calendar bidirectionally.
- **vs 1Password / LastPass**: those are password-only. Vulcan Organizer
  integrates a password vault into a full personal organizer.
- **vs Lotus Organizer (1992–2013)**: Vulcan is the spiritual successor. It
  keeps the leather-book skeuomorphism, colored tabs, page-turn animation
  and burning-trash-can metaphors, but replaces the Windows-only .ORG file
  with cloud + offline-first PWA, adds AI, and swaps "Anniversary" for a
  password vault.
