Someone remembers. A BOND A person from home still sends notes, though the most recent letter is unfinished. AN UNFINISHED THREAD An ordinary object you carry appears in a story told far from home.

Do I need an account?
No account is needed for the tools. Cloud generation has a shared daily allowance and may temporarily be unavailable.
Does anything heavy run on my device?
No AI models are downloaded. Templates and small subtitle files use lightweight browser code. Cloud AI runs on the server.
Are templates and AI drafts different?
Yes. Templates organize your input using fixed structures. The separate AI button sends your input to a cloud model for a new draft. Every result is labeled.
What happens to my input?
Templates stay in your browser. Cloud inputs are sent to Cloudflare when you request generation. This app does not save them. If you enable Remember, your browser stores a draft locally. See the privacy page for provider processing and the short-lived allowance ledger.
