Questions, answered

What license is it under?

BSD-3-Clause licensed — permissive with attribution.

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.

How hard is it to install?

Clone the repo and build with the Zig toolchain.

Where do I get help?

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