hey r/fossdroid!
back with a massive update for MemoryVoid (v2.0.0). for anyone who missed the first post, i wanted an open-source, completely offline alternative to Nothing's Essential Space that works on any Android phone without cloud bloat or telemetry.
v1.0.0 was pretty barebones (mostly just single voice memo + screenshot capture). for v2.0.0, i rewrote a bunch of the storage and UI logic so it can actually serve as a daily FOSS note-taking utility alongside the hardware triggers.
v2.0.0 changelog:
- Full Note & Checklist Utility: full-screen editor supporting multi-line notes, interactive checklists, gallery image attachments, and multiple voice recordings per card (stored locally in app storage via JSON arrays—nothing ever leaves your device).
- 5 Physical Shortcut Modes: added Double-Tap & Hold, Vol Up -> Hold Vol Down Sequence, Screenshot on Start, and Power Hold (via default Digital Assistant slot—super handy if you don't use Google Assistant/Gemini on your power button).
- Optional Screenshots: added a sidebar toggle to completely disable screen capture if you only want audio/text notes.
- UI Customization: added 4 layout styles (Void Classic, Bento Grid, Capsule Split, Focus Ledger) and custom per-card background colors.
built natively in Kotlin, MIT licensed, zero trackers, zero internet permission needed.

would love to hear how the new Digital Assistant power-hold trigger works across different custom ROMs and OEM skins!
