QUICK START (about 10 minutes, mostly download time)
  1. Unzip this folder somewhere permanent, e.g. Documents\Aether Private.
     (Don't run it from inside the zip, and don't move the folder afterwards —
     your desktop icon points to it.)
  2. Run the one-click setup for your computer:
       Windows: double-click "Windows - Aether-Private-Setup.cmd"
                If Windows says "Windows protected your PC": More info -> Run anyway.
       Mac:     right-click "Mac - Aether-Private-Setup.command" -> Open -> Open.
       Linux:   bash "Linux - aether-private-setup.sh"
     It installs Ollama (free), lets the app talk to it, downloads an AI model
     and puts an "Aether Private" icon on your desktop.
  3. Open Aether Private from the desktop icon. Accept the license agreement.
  4. You start with a 7-day evaluation. Add-ons & License (left side) lets you
     start a free 7-day trial of every add-on, enter a license key, or request
     a purchase.

COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
  Windows 10/11, macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon recommended) or Linux; Chrome or Edge.
  8 GB memory: small models (good for everyday writing).
  16 GB memory: recommended models (strong document work).
  24-32 GB memory or a graphics card with 12+ GB: the largest models.
  Disk space: 5-20 GB for AI models.
  Phones and tablets cannot run the AI themselves; an office can run one AI
  computer and point other computers at it (Settings -> Ollama address).

YOUR DATA
  Everything you type, and every document you add, is processed by the AI on
  this computer and stored in your browser's storage on this computer.
  BACK IT UP: Settings -> Data & Backup -> "Back up everything" (weekly is a
  good habit). Clearing your browser data erases the app's data.
