## Description

Excali Local is a local-first, offline Excalidraw app that lives entirely in your browser. Capture a page or select an area and annotate it, use the complete
 Excalidraw editor with no internet connection, keep every drawing in a private local gallery, turn drawings into presentations, and customize fonts with your own
 .ttf/.woff/.woff2 files. Nothing leaves your device — no backend, no account, no uploads.

What you can do:
- Screenshot annotation: capture a full page or select an area, then annotate in Excalidraw.
- Offline editor: the complete Excalidraw experience, no connection required — now with full dark mode support.
- Gallery & collections: save, organize, search, export, and import drawings — all stored locally in your browser.
- Presentation mode: turn any drawing into a slide-based presentation.
- Custom fonts: upload your own fonts or use system fonts on a fully offline build of Excalidraw 0.18.
- Direct .excalidraw opening: recognized files get an instant "Open with Excali Local" action.
- Realtime collaboration: collaborate with your team in real-time over a self-hosted relay — end-to-end encrypted private rooms, member presence, and live cursors.

No project-operated server needed.

Your drawings stay private — Excali Local works fully offline with no account and no servers.
