Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes
- Don't name a preset 'in_use' Don’t name a custom preset 'in_use' and avoid putting the same system or placeholder prompt twice, because the app will reject the preset if either is true. source
- Use format macros, not get Use the format version of the variable template tags, not the get version, because format turns your data into a cleaner text layout the AI is better at reading. Variables with keys that start with $ are hidden from the AI, so they can store private metadata. source
- Set up stream listeners first Set up your stream event listeners before starting generation if you want live text, otherwise you may only see the final finished reply. source
