fftext is a local-first CLI tool for summarizing, explaining, fact-checking, and translating any text, URL, or file using a quantized 0.8B LLM on CPU with no GPU or cloud dependency. It's interesting because it combines offline privacy with a sophisticated fact-checking pipeline that extracts claims, web-searches them, and labels verdicts, all without an API key.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, journalists, researchers
