Native theme lists, creation and quick capture work without Dataview. Task, record and reference-note queries still require Dataview. Basic theme list search does not include Pro's advanced list sorting and filtering.

AI is provided by the separately purchased and activated DeepAsk plugin; it is not automatically included with LifeOS Pro. This open-source update does not include AI.
