## What is PhantomLens?
**PhantomLens** is a privacy-first, open-source AI assistant that operates **silently across your screen**.
It understands what’s on your display, responds contextually, and stays out of sight — no overlays, no interruptions, no telemetry abuse.
Built for people who value **speed, discretion, and control**.
---
## Why PhantomLens?
Most AI tools are loud.
Some are expensive.
Almost all watch you back.
**PhantomLens doesn’t.**
- No subscriptions
- No accounts
- No hidden uploads
- No lock-in
Just a tool that does its job — quietly.
---
## ✨ Core Capabilities
- **Invisible by Design**
Lives off-screen. Appears only when summoned. Leaves no trace.
- **Context-Aware Intelligence**
Understands what app you’re using and adapts responses accordingly.
- **Privacy Comes First**
No forced cloud syncs. No silent data harvesting.
- **Open Source**
Every line is auditable.
