📱 How to Build the Offline APK

I have converted the application to Offline Mode. It now stores all data locally on the device, so you DO NOT need to deploy a backend server.

🚀 Steps to Build APK

1. Copy the Project: Download the entire MindShift-Windows folder to your local machine.

2. Install Dependencies: Open a terminal in the MindShift-Windows folder and run:

   npm install
   

3. Open Android Studio: Run the following command to open the project in Android Studio (you must have Android Studio installed):

   npx cap open android
   

4. Build & Run:

   • In Android Studio, wait for Gradle to sync.
   • Click the Run (Play) button to test on an emulator/device.
   • To build the APK: Go to Build > Build Bundle(s) / APK(s) > Build APK(s).

ℹ️ Notes

• The app now uses localStorage to save your Moods, Thoughts, and Gratitude entries.
• If you uninstall the app, your data will be cleared (standard behavior for local-only apps).
• No internet connection is required for the app to function.
