Why I built it
Text capture and reading workflows lose trust when device identity, restored state, and synchronization authority are implicit.
What exists
The same-bundle capture app was restored and privately published; foreground LAN behavior is separate from future helper or CloudKit decisions.
How it works
A native capture surface writes app-owned state, with explicit restore behavior and staged synchronization authorities.
- Native text capture
- Same-bundle state restoration
- Private app distribution
- Foreground local synchronization
My role
Directed capture, same-bundle restoration, and state inspection; defined the private release checks and the helper/CloudKit boundary analysis, and reviewed and tested the implementation.
What I checked
- releasePrivate publication and same-bundle restore verified
What stays bounded
- Cloud synchronization is not implied by foreground LAN behavior
- Private captured text is not public evidence
What is missing
- Unattended synchronization and conflict policy remain open.
Next
Select and validate one durable synchronization model.
Later ideas, not current features
- Choose helper or CloudKit authority deliberately
- Define conflict and privacy policy
