MAIN QUEST · IN PROGRESS

Mana マナ

A little mana-crystal spirit who lives in your PC. She chats, listens and helps while you work or game, running on your own machine, offline-capable and private by default.

Mana is built solo, on my own savings and hardware. If you'd like to see how far she can go, you can help fund her next level.

What Mana does

Talks with you

Speak to her and she answers out loud, with speech recognition and her own voice.

Runs on your PC

Local models, works offline, and your conversations stay on your machine.

Uses your tools

Connects to the apps and services you choose through MCP.

Learns new tricks

Add plugins from her store, and approve new skills she proposes.

SIDE QUEST

Folio

C# · SkiaSharp · already rendering in Mana

Folio is the rendering engine Mana uses to show her Artifacts: the reports, tables, charts and small pages she writes for you, drawn right inside her own window. It's built to rival Claude's Artifacts, at tens of megabytes instead of a whole browser, and it's open source, so other .NET apps can use it too.
