Memoir 1.1.0 (light version)
============================

This is the small download. It needs Node.js on your machine, which
is a free one-time install, and in exchange it is 1.6 MB instead of
130 MB.

Setup
-----
1. Install Node.js (LTS version) from https://nodejs.org if you do
   not already have it. Accept the defaults.
2. Unzip this folder anywhere you like.
3. Windows: double-click "Start Memoir.cmd"
   Mac:     double-click "Start Memoir.command"

A terminal window opens and your browser opens on the app. Keep the
terminal window open while you are writing. Closing it closes Memoir.

On a Mac, the first time you run it you may need to right-click
"Start Memoir.command" and choose Open, or run this once in Terminal:
    chmod +x "Start Memoir.command"

First run
---------
You will be asked to choose a folder for your entries and to set a
password. The password encrypts your entries at rest (AES-256), so if
you lose it there is no recovery.

Everything stays on your own machine. There is no account, no server,
and nothing is uploaded.

The Surface button
------------------
The "Surface" nudge sends about 200 words of the entry you are working
on to Anthropic's API and returns a prompt to help you get unstuck. It
is the only feature that talks to the internet, and it does nothing
until you paste your own Anthropic API key into Settings. Leave the key
blank and the rest of the app works normally.

Keys are at console.anthropic.com. Usage is billed to whoever owns the
key.

Your data
---------
Entries are plain Markdown files in the folder you picked, so they stay
readable in any text editor and are yours to back up, sync or move
however you want.
