It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to P-lexity AI, Inc. in any way. </details> <details> <summary><strong>Q: How does SimplexityAI work?</strong></summary> <br> <b>A:</b> SimplexityAI is a desktop application that loads P-lexity AI's public website (P-lexity.ai) in an embedded browser view. All search functionality is powered by P-lexity AI's web service. We add desktop-specific features like system tray, global shortcuts, and persistent sessions. </details> <details> <summary><strong>Q: Do I need a P-lexity account?</strong></summary> <br> <b>A:</b> SimplexityAI works with both free and premium P-lexity accounts. You can use it without an account for basic searches, or sign in for full P-lexity Pro features (if you have a subscription). </details> <details> <summary><strong>Q: Is my data safe?</strong></summary> <br> <b>A:</b> Yes! SimplexityAI doesn't collect any user data. All your searches and interactions go directly to P-lexity AI's servers. Your settings are stored locally on your device. </details> <details> <summary><strong>Q: Why use SimplexityAI instead of the browser?</strong></summary> <br> <b>A:</b> SimplexityAI offers desktop-specific features that browsers can't provide: system tray integration, global keyboard shortcuts (search from anywhere!), auto-start on boot, persistent sessions, and a dedicated distraction-free interface. </details> <details> <summary><strong>Q: Can I customize the keyboard shortcuts?</strong></summary> <br> <b>A:</b> Yes! All keyboard shortcuts are fully customizable in the Settings panel. Click the ⚙️ icon in the sidebar to access settings. </details> <details> <summary><strong>Q: Does this work offline?</strong></summary> <br> <b>A:</b> No. SimplexityAI requires an internet connection since it accesses P-lexity AI's web service. The app itself can run offline, but you won't be able to perform searches. </details> <details> <summary><strong>Q: How do I update SimplexityAI?</strong></summary> <br> <b>A:</b> The app checks for updates automatically. When a new version is available, you'll see a notification. Click to download and install the latest version. </details> --- ## 🙏 Acknowledgments - **P-lexity AI** — For creating an amazing AI search service (this is just a desktop wrapper!) - **Electron** — For the cross-platform desktop framework - **Open Source Community** — For all the amazing libraries and tools - **Contributors** — Everyone who has helped improve this project --- <div align="center"> ### 🌟 If SimplexityAI helps you, give it a star! 🌟 **Made with ❤️ by [Inulute](https://github.com/inulute)** <br> <img src="./assets/icons/svg/inulute.svg" alt="Inulute" width="120px"> <br><br> [](https://github.com/inulute/simplexity-ai-app/stargazers) [](https://github.com/inulute/simplexity-ai-app/network/members) <br> --- **SimplexityAI** • [Website](https://simplexity.inulute.com) • [Download on Pling](https://www.pling.com/p/2107698/) • [GitHub](https://github.com/inulute/simplexity-ai-app) • [Support](https://support.inulute.com) _{Not affiliated with any AI, INC. • Independent open-source project} </div>
