The project describes its interface as simple, clean, intuitive, and mobile-first. No sign-up or login is required, and the project says it does no tracking. Listed translations include Brazilian Portuguese, English, German, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. The repository uses the MIT license.
