FileMind 0.4.1-beta — built-in model priced as free, feedback carries the version

FileMind 0.4.1-beta is a small follow-up to the first public beta. It is free,
fully featured, and runs entirely on your machine — your PDFs are never uploaded
anywhere. If you already have 0.4.0-beta installed, it updates itself: the new
build downloads in the background and installs the next time you quit.

Windows will warn you before it runs this installer. That is expected.

This build is not code-signed yet, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen shows a
blue full-screen warning the first time you run it:

Windows protected your PC
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.
App: FileMind-Setup-0.4.1-beta.exe — Publisher: Unknown publisher

The only button you can see is "Don't run". Click More info first, and a
Run anyway button appears underneath it. "Unknown publisher" means the file
carries no certificate — not that anything is wrong with it. Verify you have the
right file using the checksum below.

What changed since 0.4.0-beta

• The built-in model is now correctly treated as free. Calls to the built-in
  model (and to LM Studio or any custom local server) were being recorded as if
  they went to OpenAI: Settings showed a "no known price" warning for them, and
  if you had set a monthly spend limit and reached it, the limit would have
  blocked the local model too. Local inference costs nothing and is never
  blocked now.
• The setup wizard's AI step no longer calls itself "(optional)". It has been
  required since the skip button was removed — Ask needs a model.
• In-app feedback now includes the app version and platform, so a report can be
  matched to the build it came from.

Everything else — rename, search, Ask, OCR, export, the uncapped trial — is as
in 0.4.0-beta; see that release's notes for the full description.

Install

• Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. 8 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB recommended.
• ~880 MB download, ~2.5 GB installed, plus 2–5 GB if you use a local AI model.
• The setup wizard offers a built-in model you can enable in one click. If
  you would rather use Ollama, LM Studio, or your own OpenAI / Claude / Gemini
  API key, it accepts those instead.

Known issues in this build

• Setup needs a network connection. Every AI provider option requires one and
  the AI step cannot be skipped, so first-run setup will not complete offline.
  Once set up, scanning and searching work fully offline.
• "Ask" is slow on the built-in model — expect several minutes for an answer
  on CPU. The progress counter is real, not a hang. Pointing FileMind at Ollama
  or a cloud API key is much faster.
• If no PDF reader is registered on your machine, "Open in system viewer" does
  nothing rather than telling you why.
