+# LocalMind
+
+LocalMind is a privacy-first, local-first AI chat application that runs entirely on your machine. It leverages local LLMs (via Ollama) to provide a ChatGPT-like experience without sending your data to any external server.
+
+## Features
+
+- **100% Local**: All data stays on your machine. No cloud, no tracking, no data leaks.
+- **Multiple Model Support**: Works with any model served by Ollama (Llama 2, Mistral, CodeLlama, etc.)
+- **RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)**: Upload documents (PDF, TXT, MD) and ask questions about their content.
+- **Plugin System**: Extend functionality with community plugins.
+- **Export & Share**: Export conversations as Markdown or JSON.
+- **Modern UI**: Clean, responsive interface built with React and Tailwind CSS.
## Quick Start
-### Option 1 - Docker (Recommended, 3 commands)
-
-```bash
-# 1. Pull a model (one-time, ~4GB)
-ollama pull llama3
-
-# 2. Clone and start
-git clone https://github.com/yourusername/localmind.git
-cd localmind && docker compose up
-
-# 3. Open browser
-open http://localhost:3000
-```
-
-### Option 2 - Manual Setup
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/yourusername/localmind.git
-cd localmind
-
-# Backend
-cd backend
-python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-cp ../.env.example ../.env
-uvicorn app:app --reload --port 8000
-
-# Frontend (new terminal)
-cd frontend
-npm install && npm run dev
-# Open http://localhost:3000
-```
-
-**Prerequisites:** [Python 3.11+](https://python.org) | [Node 18+](https://nodejs.org) | [Ollama](https://ollama.ai) | [Docker](https://docker.com)
-
-### Render Deploy
-
-If you deploy on Render, set the frontend build to use `VITE_API_BASE_URL` and configure the backend with `CORS_ORIGINS`.
-
-```bash
-# backend service envs
-OLLAMA_HOST=http://:11434
-DEFAULT_MODEL=llama3
-CORS_ORIGINS=https://.onrender.com
-
-# frontend static site envs
-VITE_API_BASE_URL=https://.onrender.com/api
-```
-
-The included `render.yaml` defines a backend web service and a frontend static site for the same repo.
