Minimal notepad powered by AI -- a frictionless, local-first "second brain".
Capture thoughts in a stream, retrieve them via contextual chat. No folders, no tags, no clutter.

• "Stream" Input: Write anything — every line is captured and stored without manual organization.
• AI Chat Retrieval (RAG): Ask questions or recall information via a chat interface backed by semantic search.
• Local-First Privacy: All data is kept private, using a local SQLite database with vector search.
• Fast, Minimal UI: Focused, distraction-free design for rapid note capture and review.

To run the app locally:

cd app
npm install
npm run dev

Or use your package manager of choice (yarn dev, pnpm dev, etc).

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

• Frontend: Next.js (app directory) + Tailwind CSS + Shadcn/ui
• Desktop Wrapper: Tauri v2 (Rust)
• Backend/AI: Python sidecar process
• DB: SQLite (with vector search via sqlite-vec)
• Model: OpenAI API (GPT-4o-mini, text-embedding-3-small)

• Start the app — the main input acts like a capture bar.
• Hit Enter to save a thought.
• Toggle to Chat/RAG mode (? prefix or switch) to ask questions and retrieve related notes via AI.

No manual note management — just flow.

• Edit UI in app/ (main page: app/app/page.tsx)
• Python sidecar and DB logic are found under python-backend/ and app/src-tauri/
• Uses next/font for font optimization (Geist)

• Next.js Docs
• Tauri Docs
• Shadcn/ui

The app is intended for local use (desktop, with Tauri).
Web deployment possible, but disables local AI integration and loses privacy guarantees.
