Architecture Pillars
Client-Side Execution
All processing occurs within your browser's V8 memory. No cloud processing means zero exposure.
Low System Impact
The background daemon uses minimal CPU resources, activating only during data processing cycles.
Native Integration
Works seamlessly across MacOS, Linux, and Windows terminal environments with universal binary support.
