Everything stays on your machine, unless you ask it to search the web. No cloud  ·  No subscription  ·  No account  ·  RTX 4070 SUPER · CachyOS Linux I wanted one thing: talk, and have my words end up as tidy notes that I can question later. No account, no monthly fee, and nothing I say leaving my computer. A PhD supervisor meeting, a lecture, a stand-up: all of it is private by default if it never leaves the machine. So I built it.
