Philosophy & FAQ

Does llote use AI to write anything? No. ask only ever returns a line you already wrote, verbatim. It can't generate text. No hallucinated notes.

Does anything leave my machine? The search model is downloaded locally the first time you run ask or setup. Your notes are never sent anywhere during writing or searching. Try turning your Wi-Fi off; the program runs all the same.

Why "llote"? There are only two hard problems in software engineering: concurrency and naming things. Its name needed to be short and unique. I just smashed LLM and note together to denote its AI search feature alongside the note-taking core.
