> FAQ

Q: Is Lini open-source?
A: Not currently. To maintain strict quality control over the binary, performance, and user experience, the source is closed. However, the program is 100% free, with absolutely no hidden costs.
Q: Is the program actively developed?
A: Yes. We are listening to feedback. If requests for specific features or languages statistically dominate, they will be considered for implementation.
Q: Can I use external AI models via API?
A: Firmly NO. Lini is built from the ground up to be 100% local and secure for the user. We do not support external APIs, and there are no plans to introduce external tools in the near future. Your data stays on your machine.
