The project has lived only as a folder on the Mac Studio and, briefly, as a transfer tarball. This is the first commit: the Express server and its web front end, the Capacitor iOS and Android wrappers, and the release and backup scripts. The repo is the source, not a backup of the machine. Left out on purpose, by the .gitignore files that were already in the tree: node_modules, build output, mobile/www (regenerated from server/public on every build), and server/data, which holds the live checklists and belongs on the NAS rather than in git. Every credential is excluded too — server/.env, the Play upload keystore and its properties file, the App Store Connect key and ios-signing.config. The one secret that was not in an ignored file was the NAS SSH password, hard-coded in build-deploy.sh and grepped back out of it by backup-to-drive.sh. Both now read it from the login keychain (service checklist-nas, account Christian), falling back to NAS_PASS in the environment, so rotating it is one keychain entry rather than a history rewrite.

Building Instructions
Quick Start
-
Install Dependencies
npm install -
Test the Application
npm startThis will launch the app in development mode.
-
Build Windows Installer
npm run build:winThis will create a Windows installer in the
distfolder.
Building for Distribution
After running npm run build:win, you'll find:
- An installer executable in the
distfolder (e.g.,Recurring Checklist Setup 1.0.0.exe) - This installer can be copied to any Windows machine and run to install the application
Notes
- The first build may take several minutes as it downloads Electron binaries
- Each Windows machine will have its own independent checklist data
- The app stores data locally using electron-store
- No internet connection required after installation
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues building:
- Make sure Node.js is installed (version 14 or higher recommended)
- Try deleting
node_modulesand runningnpm installagain - On Windows, you may need to install build tools:
npm install --global windows-build-tools
