## 🌪️ Aether
> "When the great Peng bird journeys to the Southern Ocean, it flaps the water for three thousand miles, spiraling upward on a whirlwind (*Aether/Fuyao*) to ninety thousand miles, and travels for six months before resting."
**Aether** is dedicated to bringing a modern, local AI Agent experience to Android devices. Say goodbye to bloated virtual machine configurations and cumbersome terminal interfaces. Aether pairs a minimalist, lightweight UI with immense extensibility and a seamless tool-calling experience.
---
## 📱 Visuals & Experience
Aether's UI and interactions are heavily inspired by excellent, mature applications like ChatGPT, Codex CLI/App, Gemini, and Poco Agent. Every animation and interaction detail has been carefully polished to break the stereotype that "open-source means cheap and unrefined."
