+## Implementation Plan
+
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
+1. Add tauri-plugin-devtools to Cargo.toml for debugging
+2. Initialize devtools plugin in lib.rs (debug builds only)
+3. Identify root cause: dirs::data_local_dir() doesn't work on Android - need Tauri's path resolver
+4. Refactor Database to accept custom path via constructor
+5. Use Tauri's app.path().app_data_dir() in setup hook to get correct Android path
+6. Pass path to Database::new_with_path() during app initialization
+7. Build and test on Android emulator
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+**Root Cause**: The `dirs` crate's `data_local_dir()` doesn't work on Android - it can't resolve the app-specific data directory. Android apps require the Android context to get the correct data path.
+
+**Fix Applied**:
+1. Added `Database::new_with_path(path: PathBuf)` method to accept custom database path
+2. Changed database initialization from lazy `OnceLock::get_or_init()` to explicit initialization in Tauri's `setup` hook
+3. Used `app.path().app_data_dir()` - Tauri's cross-platform path resolver that works correctly on Android, iOS, macOS, and all other platforms
+4. Added `tracing` crate for logging database path during initialization
+
+**Devtools Setup** (desktop only):
+- Added `tauri-plugin-devtools` as optional dependency with `devtools` feature flag
+- Desktop dev tasks (`task dev`, `task tauri:dev`) pass `--features devtools`
+- Mobile dev tasks (`task android:dev`, `task ios:dev`) build without devtools to avoid port forwarding issues
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` - Added optional devtools dependency, tracing, and devtools feature
+- `src-tauri/src/lib.rs` - Moved DB init to setup hook using Tauri's path resolver, conditional devtools plugin
+- `src-tauri/src/db.rs` - Added `new_with_path()` method, added Debug derive
+- `taskfiles/tauri.yml` - Desktop dev tasks now pass `--features devtools`
+
+**Android-Specific Notes**:
+- Database location: `app.path().app_data_dir()` resolves to Android's app-private data directory
+- No special Android configuration needed - Tauri's path API handles platform differences
+- SQLite with bundled feature works correctly on Android
