# NaKlar

> Privacy-first AI assistant for German administrative paperwork (Behördenschreiben, Bescheide, Formulare).

NaKlar helps residents in Germany understand official letters, track statutory deadlines, organize required documents, and draft formal German responses—while keeping original documents, wet signatures, and file metadata strictly on-device.

## Core Value & Philosophy
- **Papierkram without anxiety**: Translates formal administrative German (Behördendeutsch) into plain language while preserving legal precision.
- **100% On-device OCR & Redaction**: Scans, photos, wet signatures, and camera metadata never touch a cloud server.
- **User Review First**: Users personally inspect and verify all redactions before any AI feature is unlocked.
- **Controlled AI Handoff**: Only reviewed, blacked-out text is sent to the selected AI provider.
- **No Autonomous Sending**: Email drafts open in the user's native email client (Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook) with formal subject line and drafted body ready for user review.
- **Private On-Device Archive**: Keeps paperwork neatly cataloged, retrievable, and clearly labeled with zero cloud dependency.

## Key Capabilities
- **Understand**: Plain-language summaries and side-by-side translations from German into 5 languages (English, Arabic with native RTL, Turkish, French, Spanish).
- **Plan**: Automated extraction of response deadlines, payment due dates, and hearing appointments with 1-tap local device reminders and actionable checklists.
- **Organize**: Structured on-device document archive so paperwork is easily identifiable, clearly labeled, and retrievable.
- **Respond**: Goal-oriented response drafting in formal administrative German with in-place selection editing and "Ask for changes" refinement.
- **Verify**: Hallucination defense via visual quote grounding and instant document Spotlight highlighting original text passages side-by-side with your preferred language.

## Purpose-Built vs. Generic Chatbots (ChatGPT & Claude)
Unlike generic chatbots that require uploading unredacted personal documents to cloud servers and produce unstructured chat dumps, NaKlar provides:
- 100% on-device OCR & sensitive data redaction (Steuer-ID, IBAN, wet signatures) before any cloud AI sees text.
- Automatic extraction of response dates and payment deadlines with 1-tap private on-device reminders.
- Interactive document checklists for gathering required proofs and certificates.
- Formal administrative German (Behördendeutsch) drafted to specific legal intent with instant "Ask for changes" refinement and bilingual preview.
- 1-tap Spotlight quote verification grounding every explanation in the original scan side-by-side with your preferred language.
- Organized on-device document archive with zero cloud dependency instead of lost chronological chat threads.
