The TL;DR for the beautifully impatient.
Inkstone is a fully local AI roleplay companion. It connects to whatever AI provider you choose, wraps your characters and settings into carefully crafted instructions, and manages your conversations — all without a server. Everything lives on your device.

Five systems, zero servers. That's the whole philosophy in one sentence.
That's the whole machine. Each system is designed to stay out of your way when you don't need it and be there when you do.
