+## Overview
+
+The ParchLinux Backup Application is a utility designed to simplify the backup
+process for ParchLinux users. It provides a comprehensive solution for backing
+up installed applications, home directory, Flatpak packages (optional), and GPG
+and SSH keys.
+
+## Features
+- Backup installed applications using Pacman
+- Backup user's home directory
+- Optional backup of Flatpak packages
+- Backup GPG and SSH keys
+- Restore from backups
+
+## Roadmap
+### Phase 1: Core Functionality
+- [ ] Develop a command-line interface (CLI) for the application
+- [ ] Implement the functionality to backup installed applications using Pacman
+- [ ] Implement the functionality to backup the user's home directory
+- [ ] Implement the functionality to backup GPG and SSH keys
+
+### Phase 2: Flatpak Integration
+
+- [ ] Add an option to backup Flatpak packages
+- [ ] Integrate with the Flatpak package manager to list and backup installed Flatpak packages
+
+### Phase 3: Restore Functionality
+
+- [ ] Implement the functionality to restore backed-up applications using Pacman
+- [ ] Implement the functionality to restore the user's home directory
+- [ ] Implement the functionality to restore GPG and SSH keys
+- [ ] Implement the functionality to restore Flatpak packages (if backed up)
+
+### Phase 4: User Interface
+
+- [ ] Develop a graphical user interface (GUI) for the application
+- [ ] Integrate the CLI functionality into the GUI
+- [ ] Provide options to schedule backups and set backup locations
+
+### Phase 5: Optimization and Testing
+
+- [ ] Optimize the backup and restore processes for performance and efficiency
+- [ ] Conduct thorough testing, including edge cases and error handling
+- [ ] Implement error reporting and logging mechanisms
+
+### Phase 6: Documentation and Release
+
+- [ ] Write comprehensive documentation for users and developers
+- [ ] Package the application for distribution
+- [ ] Release the application to the ParchLinux community
+
+## Dependencies
+- Pacman / libalpm
+- Flatpak (optional)
+
+## Potential Challenges
+- Handling large home directories and optimizing backup/restore times
+- Ensuring compatibility with different versions of Pacman / AUR helpers
+- Handling edge cases and error scenarios gracefully
+- Providing a user-friendly and intuitive interface
+
+## Future Plans
+- Support for incremental backups
+- Integration with cloud storage services for remote backups (Nextcloud/Gdrive and ....)
+- Support for encrypted backups
+- Backup and restore of system configurations and settings
