MANIFESTO · REV 1.0 Why we’re open sourcewhen nobody else is. philosophy.txtUTF-8 $ cat philosophy.txt The other “local AI” apps you’ve heard of? They’re proprietary shells built on top of open-source engines they don’t own. They keep the UI closed, add a paywall, and hope you don’t look under the hood. We built in the open. The desktop app is open too. Every line. Every model loader. Every telemetry chart. You can read it, fork it, or send a pull request tonight. No VC roadmap. No enterprise tier. No dark pattern that turns your prompts into training data. Just software made by researchers and hackers, for researchers and hackers.
