Summary

Implements the feedback from #79: the HN-winning framing "Your Mac already has AI" should be the canonical repo opener.

Changes

  1. README subtitle — new ### Your Mac already has AI. apfel lets you use it. right below # apfel, above the badge row
  2. README opener paragraph — rewritten to match the apfel.franzai.com landing page tone: "Every Mac with Apple Silicon ships a built-in language model... apfel gives you access to it"
  3. GitHub repo description — updated to: "Your Mac already has AI. apfel lets you use it — from the terminal, as a local OpenAI-compatible server, or as an interactive chat. No API keys, no cloud, no downloads."

All three surfaces now reinforce the same wedge.

Closes #79.

Test plan

  • Markdown renders cleanly
  • Subtitle renders as h3 under h1 on GitHub (verified format)
  • Repo description updated via `gh repo edit`

The HN-winning, landing-page-proven framing — now the canonical
opener everywhere:

- README subtitle: "The free AI already on your Mac."
- GitHub repo description: same claim, then the three modes
- CLAUDE.md: added the claim as the project's top-level identity
  line so every contributor (human or agent) knows the framing

All surfaces now reinforce the same wedge that the landing page
at apfel.franzai.com already uses.

Closes #79.
