### Core Functionality
- **Private & Self-Hosted**: All your data is stored in `localStorage`.
- **Broad Model Support**: Use any model available on your OpenRouter account.
- **Real-time Responses**: Get streaming responses from models as they are generated.
- **Persistent Settings**: Your chosen model, temperature, and other parameters are saved between sessions.
- **Authentication**: Optional user/password authentication for added security.
### Conversation Control
- **Full Message Control**: Edit, delete, or copy any message in the conversation.
- **Collapse/Expand Messages**: Collapse large messages to keep your chat history tidy.
- **Retry & Regenerate**: Easily retry assistant responses or regenerate from any point in the conversation.
- **Title Generation**: Automatically generate (and refresh) a title for your chat.
- **Import & Export**: Save and load entire chats as local JSON files.
### Rich UI & UX
- **File Attachments**: Attach text, code, or images to your messages for vision-enabled models.
- **Reasoning & Transparency**:
- View the model's thought process and tool usage in an expandable "Reasoning" section.
- See detailed statistics for each message: provider, time-to-first-token, tokens-per-second, token count, and cost.
- Keep track of the total cost for the entire conversation.
- **Advanced Model Search**:
- Tags indicate if a model supports **tools**, **vision**, or **reasoning**.
- Fuzzy matching helps you quickly find the exact model you need.
- **Smooth Interface**: Built with [morphdom](https://github.com/patrick-steele-idem/morphdom) to ensure UI updates don't lose your selections, scroll position, or focus.
### Powerful Integrated Tools
- **`search_web`**: Search the web via Exa; returns up to 12 results with short summaries.
- **`fetch_contents`**: Fetch and summarize the contents of one or more URLs.
- **`github_repository`**: Get a comprehensive overview of a GitHub repository. The tool returns:
- Core info (URL, description, stars, forks).
- A list of top-level files and directories.
- The full content of the repository's README file.
