- README-backed entrypoint: `lemonade list`.

## Main

- One CLI, multiple modalities: README shows `lemonade run` for Gemma (chat), SDXL (image gen), Kokoro (speech), and Whisper (transcription).

- Built-in model library/manager: browse models and download via `lemonade pull` or the UI model manager.

- Developer-friendly switching: use `lemonade backends` to see available inference backends on your machine and pick what fits your hardware.

- App integrations: README links to a marketplace with multiple app connectors (including Claude Code docs link).

### Source-backed notes

- README includes CLI commands: `lemonade run`, `lemonade pull`, `lemonade list`, `lemonade backends`, and `lemonade launch claude`.
