Why we’re open source
when nobody else is.

Most “local AI” apps are closed shells wrapped around open-source engines someone else wrote. Nice UI, a paywall, no way to see what’s happening underneath.

Ours is open, desktop app included. Read it, fork it, open a PR tonight.
No enterprise tier, no investor roadmap, and nobody’s turning your prompts into training data.
