1. Download the latest release from GitHub
2. Extract the zip file and drag Remi to your Applications folder
3. Install the unsigned app (since this is a development build):
   • Right-click on Remi.app in Applications
   • Select "Open" from the context menu
   • Click "Open" in the security warning dialog
   • macOS will remember this choice for future launches
4. Launch Remi - it'll appear in your menu bar
5. Set your hotkey in Preferences (default: ⌘+Shift+R)

Note: This is an unsigned development build. The right-click → Open method is required only for the first launch to bypass macOS Gatekeeper security.

1. Create your first Nook - click the "+" button
2. Add your content - paste in your most-used commands or notes
3. Use the hotkey to access instantly from anywhere

4. Optional: Add Groq API key for AI features

Remi now includes robust error handling and null-safe operations:

• Guard statements prevent crashes during undo/redo operations
• Graceful error handling for network issues and API failures
• Safe state management with proper validation

The AI assistance has been completely redesigned:

• Compact grid layout - 2-column design for better space utilization
• Elegant hover effects - Smooth animations and visual feedback
• Modern card design - Gradient backgrounds and subtle shadows
• Collapsible interface - Clean, unobtrusive when not needed

Your settings are now remembered across sessions:

• Markdown/Plain text mode preference saved automatically
• UI state persistence for Quick Actions panel
• Theme preferences maintained between app launches

Streamlined architecture for better performance:

• Native URLSession replaces third-party networking
• Optimized animations with SwiftUI best practices
• Efficient memory usage with proper state management

• Use descriptive nook names like "Docker Commands" or "AI Prompts"
• Organize by context rather than by type
• Keep frequently used items at the top of each nook
• Tab through nooks to quickly browse your collection
• Use the AI Quick Actions for instant content improvement
• Enable markdown preview for rich text formatting
• Leverage undo/redo (⌘Z/⌘⇧Z) for safe editing

Customize your hotkey in Settings:

• Default: ⌘ + Shift + R
• Choose any combination that works for your workflow

Add your Groq API key for intelligent features:

1. Get a free key from console.groq.com
2. Paste it in Remi's Settings
3. Enjoy AI-powered editing and suggestions

Enable in Settings to have Remi ready when you start your Mac.
