This update slightly adjusts FriedrichAI’s response behavior to feel less overcautious in normal conversations.

The goal is not to remove important safety boundaries. FriedrichAI will still avoid genuinely harmful, illegal, or unsafe requests. This change is more about reducing unnecessary refusals and letting the assistant respond more naturally when users are asking for ordinary writing, discussion, creative work, or mature-but-legal topics.

FriedrichAI just got a major usability pass.

This update adds a cleaner app-style interface with better spacing, a more focused chat area, readable local/model/backend status indicators, and a simplified tool bar so the main window feels less like a debug panel and more like an actual workspace.

The bigger addition is the new Kanban Project Board. You can now open a board view from the sidebar and organize tasks into:

Todo
Doing
Blocked
Done

The board is meant for local project planning and task organization. You can add tasks, refresh the board, and move cards between columns without leaving the app.

Also included:

• Cleaner sidebar navigation

• Collapsed tool drawer to reduce button clutter

• Working saved-chat search

• Better default window sizing

• Debug warning cleanup

• Continued offline/local-first behavior

As always, FriedrichAI still runs locally. No cloud requirement, no required API key, and no tracking.

This is part of the ongoing Early Access polish pass. The goal is simple: make FriedrichAI easier to use every day, not just technically functional.
