The fine print, kept short
- Free. Open source under MIT. No account, no subscription, no clanker tax.
- Private. Encrypted between your two computers, with no server of ours in the middle. Both computers need to be awake.
- Clankers talk, they don't touch. Messages never run commands, and task requests wait for a human's OK.
- Early. Not independently audited yet, so pair with people you trust.
