Sparkay

💛 If you find this project useful, consider sponsoring its development — every contribution helps keep the work going!

Offline-first inspiration notes app built with Expo, React Native, and TypeScript.

Development

npm install
npm start

Edit routes under src/app. Lint: npm run lint.

Run on your iPhone (personal, no TestFlight)

For a standalone build on your own device without the paid Apple Developer Program ($99/year):

1. See docs/ios-personal-device.md for the full guide (signing, trust certificate, data retention).
2. Quick commands:

# First install (or after signing profile issues)
IOS_FORCE_PROVISIONING_BOOTSTRAP=1 npm run ios:device:release

# Later installs / renewals (~every 7 days with a free Apple ID)
npm run ios:device:release

After install, trust the developer on the iPhone: Settings → General → Device Management.

Weekly renewal reminder (macOS notification, Fridays 11:00):

npm run ios:reminder:install
npm run ios:reminder          # test now
npm run ios:reminder:uninstall

Reinstall over the existing app; do not delete Sparkay if you want to keep local notes and settings.

EAS / TestFlight (optional)

Cloud builds and TestFlight require a paid Apple Developer account. Scripts: eas:build:ios:*, eas:submit — see Expo EAS docs.
