Questions, answered

What license is it under?

MIT licensed โ€” free for personal and commercial use.

Do I need to pay for an AI model?

The app itself is free; cloud models need your own API key and are billed by the provider. Local models cost nothing to run.

Does my data stay private?

It is designed to keep data on your machine or your server. Check the docs for any optional cloud features.

How hard is it to install?

Clone the repo and pip-install the requirements โ€” the README covers the exact steps.

Where do I get help?

The GitHub repo's issues and discussions are the main support channel.
