DOCUMENTATION
First launch and model preparation
- 01 Launch the app and let the device probe identify the GPU and available runtimes.
- 02 Open Models, choose a model that fits the current tier, and prepare its weights.
- 03 Reserve space for the model download and preparation cache, then wait for completion.
- 04 Return to Create, write a prompt, and send the first local job.
Model weights and private runtimes are separate downloads; first-time preparation needs a network while generation runs locally.
Local data and network boundary
Conversations, works, jobs, and settings are managed by local app storage and SQLite. Model acquisition, release checks, and external help links use the network.

Troubleshooting and support
Confirm version, platform, GPU, model, and error details, then open a reproducible GitHub Issue. The site does not provide live support.
Missing download asset
Check the platform and release, then choose the asset again from GitHub Releases.
