What's coming — and what's wild

The rest of 2026

Month by month — what lands when, and why we're excited about each one.

1. June 2026

   Rock-solid v1 + daily habits

   Task actions (shipping now)

   • Capture to-dos from chat without leaving the conversation
   • Schedule sheet when the assistant suggests next steps
   • Morning Briefing and task list in Settings
   • Local tasks by default — zero setup

   Rock-solid v1.0 (end of June)

   • Search that just works — one box; natural queries; consistent results everywhere
   • Chat & save flows — reliable compress, save-to-vault, and launch promotion experience
   • Stability & speed — fewer rough edges, snappier everyday use
   • Packaged DeskMemory v1.0 on Windows with a proper update path

   Todoist integration

   • Connect Todoist from Settings — OAuth sync for users who live in Todoist
   • Keep local tasks and synced tasks working together in one workflow

   Word import & deeper PDF workflows

   • Word (.docx) import into your vault through classified save
   • Deeper PDF workflows — richer intake, handling, and export paths beyond text-layer-only today

   Scanned PDF OCR

   • OCR for scanned PDFs — bring paper and image-only documents into your vault as searchable notes
   • Honest quality bar: ship when extraction is good enough to trust, not before

   Trust the foundation and build a daily habit — open DeskMemory for memory and what you need to do today.

   Platform: Windows desktop (packaged updates).

2. July 2026

   WOW release

   Images that land in your vault

   AI image generation

   • Describe what you need in chat — no separate mode to switch into
   • Generate brand-ready visuals through your DeskMemory account (powered by MiniMax)
   • Reference images from your vault for character and brand consistency
   • Refine and regenerate without losing context

   Your visual library

   • Every saved image lives on your disk with tags, descriptions, and metadata
   • Find visuals as fast as notes — filter Notes | Images | All in your library and search
   • Attach saved images to the next chat or creative workflow

   Memory is not only words. Your brand assets deserve the same search and governance as your notes.

3. August 2026

   Sleep better

   Optional encrypted cloud backup

   • Encrypted backups through DeskMemory — designed for privacy, not mining your files
   • Restore on a new machine without manual folder surgery
   • Clear Settings: last backup, size, and exactly what is stored

   Principle: Local-first stays the default. Cloud is your choice, never required. (Backup infrastructure is built with mobile and Teams in mind.)

4. September 2026

   Everything feels finished

   Polish month — no new headline features

   • Harden June–August (tasks, images, backup) from real-world use
   • Revisit search, chat, import, and export where feedback says “almost”
   • Ship a release that feels cohesive, not crowded

   Fast shipping only wins if the product still feels crafted.

5. October 2026

   DeskMemory in your pocket

   Mobile companion v1

   • Browse your library on phone or tablet
   • Search and read notes synced through your backup layer
   • Quick Capture on the go — syncs to your desktop vault

   Honest v1 scope: Read, search, capture — not full desktop chat or image generation on day one.

6. November 2026

   Season of memory (and momentum)

   Seasonal packs and promotions

   • Seasonal memory packs — holiday wishes, gifting lists, year-end reflection
   • Plan promotions and message-pack offers
   • Light engineering; momentum toward Teams

7. December 2026

   Building together

   Promotions and Teams groundwork

   • Holiday offers and community thank-yous
   • Behind the scenes: org invites, roles, and shared-library prep for the new year

   More heart than heavy features — setting up January’s big collaboration launch.

8. End of January 2027

   Work together, stay in control

   Teams (beta)

   • Shared libraries for marketing, brand, and finance groups
   • Role-based access — e.g. finance sees finance folders; brand leads see brand kits
   • Admin invites and org billing (details at launch)

   Principle: Solo local vaults remain. Teams is for groups who choose to collaborate — with permissions, not chaos.

June: tasks + Todoist + import + v1. July: images. August: backup. September: refine. October: mobile. November: seasonal. December: Teams prep. January: Teams.
