Problem

The bottom navigation is confusing — several entries appear to do the same thing, and one button appears completely dead:

"New" tab vs. center sparkle button both seem to open task creation. It's unclear why both exist or how they differ.
"Today" vs. "Library" look like the same task list. If Library is meant for saved/reusable routines and Today for scheduled ones, that distinction is invisible — and there is no way to set a date on a task, which a "Today" view implies.
Calendar button appears dead. On a task there is a calendar icon (intended: .ics export), but tapping it gives no visible feedback, so it reads as broken.

Expected

Each bottom-nav destination has one obvious, distinct job; duplicates are merged or clearly differentiated (e.g. center button = primary action with a distinct purpose).
"Today" vs "Library" differ visibly (e.g. tasks carry a scheduled date; Library holds reusable templates).
Tapping the calendar icon produces clear feedback (download prompt / toast / share sheet) even if the export itself works.

Acceptance

A first-time user can say what each of the 5 nav destinations is for without guessing
No two buttons lead to the same screen with the same content
Calendar export confirms visibly when tapped (success or error — never silence)
If "Today" implies scheduling, tasks can actually be assigned a date; otherwise rename/rethink the tab

## Problem The bottom navigation is confusing — several entries appear to do the same thing, and one button appears completely dead: 1. **"New" tab vs. center sparkle button** both seem to open task creation. It's unclear why both exist or how they differ. 2. **"Today" vs. "Library"** look like the same task list. If Library is meant for saved/reusable routines and Today for scheduled ones, that distinction is invisible — and there is no way to set a date on a task, which a "Today" view implies. 3. **Calendar button appears dead.** On a task there is a calendar icon (intended: `.ics` export), but tapping it gives no visible feedback, so it reads as broken. ## Expected - Each bottom-nav destination has one obvious, distinct job; duplicates are merged or clearly differentiated (e.g. center button = primary action with a distinct purpose). - "Today" vs "Library" differ visibly (e.g. tasks carry a scheduled date; Library holds reusable templates). - Tapping the calendar icon produces clear feedback (download prompt / toast / share sheet) even if the export itself works. ## Acceptance - [ ] A first-time user can say what each of the 5 nav destinations is for without guessing - [ ] No two buttons lead to the same screen with the same content - [ ] Calendar export confirms visibly when tapped (success or error — never silence) - [ ] If "Today" implies scheduling, tasks can actually be assigned a date; otherwise rename/rethink the tab
