Lini is built around a strict "no-mouse required" philosophy. When launched, it anchors to your current working directory. To silently persist your workflow (opened files, split orientations, and AI chat histories), Lini automatically creates a lightweight, hidden .lini folder in the root of your project.
Your navigation hub. It securely browses the current directory while intelligently ignoring heavy build folders (like node_modules or target) to keep the AI context lean. Use the Explorer not just to open files, but to batch-select multiple files (using Space) to feed into the AI's memory.
Inspired by modal editors like Vim, but streamlined for modern note-taking. You navigate, search, and manage files in NORMAL mode, and write content in INSERT mode. Pressing n triggers a zero-friction capture state—type a name directly in the window border, or simply hit Enter to generate a daily note.
The primary writing workspace. This mode actively utilizes the Tri-Layer NLP engine to provide real-time suggestions based on your selected language dictionary.
Lini offers fully local AI integration via Ollama. Use the Inline Ghost AI (Ctrl+l) to generate text directly into your active document, or open the dedicated Chat Panel (l) for complex, multi-file queries utilizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
