Built an desktop AI companion that always pinned at top.

Some of the features:

- Lightweight: Built on Tauri v2 + React + Rust for low RAM usage.

- Always-on-Top Floating Mode: Pinned window stays on top so you can code and query AI side-by-side (no more app-switching!).

- Secure Keyring Storage: API keys are saved directly in your OS secure Keychain/Keyring

- Local SQLite Database: All chat history and threads are saved locally on your device.

- Multi Provider Support: Connect to Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, local Ollama, or custom endpoints.

It is Open-source and free to download. Availabe for Windows, Mac and Linux.
