Orynd Frontend

Orynd is a 100% offline, cross-platform (Android-first) application functioning as a cognitive prosthetic designed for individuals managing ADHD or executive dysfunction. It transforms unstructured, chaotic streams of consciousness into organized, actionable outputs using localized AI.

This repository (orynd-frontend) contains the React Native (Expo) user interface.

🎯 Product Vision

Orynd acts as an offline cognitive prosthetic. It offloads executive function entirely to the device, ensuring maximum privacy and zero cognitive friction. The core philosophy is simple: You speak, the machine sorts.

✨ Core Features

• Zero-Friction Voice Capture: A single, dominant "Hold to Speak" button that records audio.
• The Universal Vault: A unified, visually muted inbox where parsed inputs are displayed automatically in their categorized state (Tasks, Events, Notes) without requiring user intervention.
• Air-Gapped Operation: The application requires zero internet connection post-installation. All data remains isolated within the device's sandboxed storage.

🎨 Design System

Our interface is built on a "Sleep mode" philosophy—visually calming, heavily muted, and designed to prevent sensory overstimulation.

• Branding: The logo consists purely of the word Orynd rendered in the Alqest font.
• Background Surfaces: Deep, flat slate (#121212) for the background, with muted charcoal (#1E1E1E) for task cards.
• Typography: Primary text is soft off-white (#E0E0E0), secondary text is dim gray (#888888). No harsh pure whites.
• Semantic Accents (Low Saturation):
  • Tasks: Soft Sage (#7C9681)
  • Events: Muted Lavender (#8A8696)
  • Notes: Dust Blue (#6B7A8F)

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• Android Studio (for emulator / physical device testing)
• The Orynd Core engine must be linked.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ORYND/Orynd-Frontend.git
   cd Orynd-Frontend

2. Install dependencies (which will link the local orynd-core backend):

   npm install

3. Prebuild the native Android project:

   npx expo prebuild --clean -p android

4. Run locally on your device or emulator:

   npx expo run:android

Note: Since the backend relies on heavy C++ ML bindings, standard "Expo Go" will not work. You must compile the native binary using run:android.
