## Trust

Don't take my word on the privacy stuff. Read the audits:

- [docs/NETWORK_AUDIT.md](docs/NETWORK_AUDIT.md) — every endpoint
  listed, telemetry verdict per call
- [docs/SETTINGS_AUDIT.md](docs/SETTINGS_AUDIT.md) — default-value
  diffs vs upstream
- [docs/BLOAT_AUDIT.md](docs/BLOAT_AUDIT.md) — what got stripped, why

It's GPL-3.0. Source is right there.

---

## Status

Personal project. I use it daily, that's the only QA. No support
guarantees. Bugs happen. Use at your own risk.

PRs welcome but not promised to merge — this is opinionated by
design.
