CAPABILITIES
A compact surface for the whole machine.
02✎
Capture the thought.
Quick local notes, timers, search, clipboard access, and small productivity actions stay close.
03◉
Operate safely.
Local commands are designed to describe the action clearly before they operate on the machine.
04⌾
Keep the boundary.
The first release stays deliberately small: useful personal tools without unnecessary accounts or cloud dependencies.
COMMAND LANGUAGE
Say less.
Do more.
Commands are small on purpose. They use verbs people already expect, expose the action clearly, and keep the next step obvious.
