+
+### Brought to you by Cohee, RossAscends and the SillyTavern community
+
+NOTE: We have added [a FAQ](faq.md) to answer most of your questions and help you get started.
+
+### What is SillyTavern or TavernAI?
+
+Tavern is a user interface you can install on your computer (and Android phones) that allows you to interact with text generation AIs and chat/roleplay with characters you or the community create.
+
+SillyTavern is a fork of TavernAI 1.2.8 which is under more active development and has added many major features. At this point, they can be thought of as completely independent programs.
+
+### What do I need other than Tavern?
+
+On its own Tavern is useless, as it's just a user interface. You have to have access to an AI system backend that can act as the roleplay character. There are various supported backends: OpenAPI API (GPT), KoboldAI (either running locally or on Google Colab), and more. You can read more about this in [the FAQ](faq.md).
+
+### Do I need a powerful PC to run Tavern?
+
+Since Tavern is only a user interface, it has tiny hardware requirements, it will run on anything. It's the AI system backend that needs to be powerful.
+
+## Mobile support
+
+> **Note**
+
+> **This fork can be run natively on Android phones using Termux. Please refer to this guide by ArroganceComplex#2659:**
+
+<https://rentry.org/STAI-Termux>
+
+**.webp character cards import/export is not supported in Termux. Use either JSON or PNG formats instead.**

+
+## UI/CSS/Quality of Life tweaks by RossAscends
+
+* Mobile UI with optimized for iOS, and supports saving a shortcut to home screen and opening in fullscreen mode.
+* HotKeys
+  * Up = Edit last message in chat
+  * Ctrl+Up = Edit last USER message in chat
+  * Left = swipe left
+  * Right = swipe right (NOTE: swipe hotkeys are disabled when chatbar has something typed into it)
+  * Ctrl+Left = view locally stored variables (in the browser console window)
+  * Enter (with chat bar selected) = send your message to AI
+  * Ctrl+Enter = Regenerate the last AI response
+
+* User Name Changes and Character Deletion no longer force the page to refresh.
+
+* Toggle option to automatically connect to API on page load.
+* Toggle option to automatically load the most recently viewed character on page load.
+* Better Token Counter - works on unsaved characters, and shows both permanent and temporary tokens.
+
+* Better Past Chats View
+  * New Chat filenames are saved in a readable format of "(character) - (when it was created)"
+  * Chat preview increased from 40 characters to 300.
+  * Multiple options for characters list sorting (by name, creation date, chat sizes).
+
+* By default the left and right settings panel will close when you click away from it.
+* Clicking the Lock on the nav panel will hold the panel open, and this setting be remembered across sessions.
+* Nav panel status of open or closed will also be saved across sessions.
+
+* Customizable chat UI:
+  * Play a sound when a new message arrives
+  * Switch between round or rectangle avatar styles
+  * Have a wider chat window on the desktop
+  * Optional semi-transparent glass-like panels
+  * Customizable page colors for 'main text', 'quoted text' 'italics text'.
+  * Customizable UI background color and blur amount
+
+## Installation
+
+*NOTE: This software is intended for local install purposes, and has not been thoroughly tested on a colab or other cloud notebook service.*
+
+> **Warning**
+
+> DO NOT INSTALL INTO ANY WINDOWS CONTROLLED FOLDER (Program Files, System32, etc).
+
+> DO NOT RUN START.BAT WITH ADMIN PERMISSIONS
+
+### Windows
+
+Installing via Git (recommended for easy updating)
+
+Easy to follow guide with pretty pictures:
+<https://docs.alpindale.dev/pygmalion-extras/sillytavern/#windows-installation>
+
+  1. Install [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en) (latest LTS version is recommended)
+  2. Install [GitHub Desktop](https://central.github.com/deployments/desktop/desktop/latest/win32)
+  3. Open Windows Explorer (`Win+E`)
+  4. Browse to or Create a folder that is not controlled or monitored by Windows. (ex: C:\MySpecialFolder\)
+  5. Open a Command Prompt inside that folder by clicking in the 'Address Bar' at the top, typing `cmd`, and pressing Enter.
+  6. Once the black box (Command Prompt) pops up, type ONE of the following into it and press Enter:
+
+* for Main Branch: `git clone https://github.com/Cohee1207/SillyTavern -b main`
+* for Dev Branch: `git clone https://github.com/Cohee1207/SillyTavern -b dev`
+
+  7. Once everything is cloned, double click `Start.bat` to make NodeJS install its requirements.
+  8. The server will then start, and SillyTavern will popup in your browser.
+
+Installing via zip download
+
+  1. Install [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en) (latest LTS version is recommended)
+  2. Download the zip from this GitHub repo. (Get the `Source code (zip)` from [Releases](https://github.com/Cohee1207/SillyTavern/releases/latest))
+  3. Unzip it into a folder of your choice
+  4. Run `Start.bat` via double-clicking or in a command line.
+  5. Once the server has prepared everything for you, it will open a tab in your browser.
+
+### Linux
+
+  1. Run the `start.sh` script.
+  2. Enjoy.
+
+## API keys management
+
+SillyTavern saves your API keys to a `secrets.json` file in the server directory.
+
+By default they will not be exposed to a frontend after you enter them and reload the page.
+
+In order to enable viewing your keys by clicking a button in the API block:
+
+1. Set the value of `allowKeysExposure` to `true` in `config.conf` file.
+2. Restart the SillyTavern server.
+
+## Remote connections
+
+Most often this is for people who want to use SillyTavern on their mobile phones while their PC runs the ST server on the same wifi network.
+
+However, it can be used to allow remote connections from anywhere as well.
+
+**IMPORTANT: SillyTavern is a single-user program, so anyone who logs in will be able to see all characters and chats, and be able to change any settings inside the UI.**
+
+### 1. Managing whitelisted IPs
+
+* Create a new text file inside your SillyTavern base install folder called `whitelist.txt`.
+* Open the file in a text editor, add a list of IPs you want to be allowed to connect.
+
+*Both indidivual IPs, and wildcard IP ranges are accepted. Examples:*
+
+```txt
+192.168.0.1
+192.168.0.20
+```
+
+or
+
+```txt
+192.168.0.*
+```
+
+(the above wildcard IP range will allow any device on the local network to connect)
+
+CIDR masks are also accepted (eg. 10.0.0.0/24).
+
+* Save the `whitelist.txt` file.
+* Restart your TAI server.
+
+Now devices which have the IP specified in the file will be able to connect.
+
+*Note: `config.conf` also has a `whitelist` array, which you can use in the same way, but this array will be ignored if `whitelist.txt` exists.*
+
+### 2. Getting the IP for the ST host machine
+
+After the whitelist has been setup, you'll need the IP of the ST-hosting device.
+
+If the ST-hosting device is on the same wifi network, you will use the ST-host's internal wifi IP:
+
+* For Windows: windows button > type `cmd.exe` in the search bar > type `ipconfig` in the console, hit Enter > look for `IPv4` listing.
+
+If you (or someone else) wants to connect to your hosted ST while not being on the same network, you will need the public IP of your ST-hosting device.
+
+* While using the ST-hosting device, access [this page](https://whatismyipaddress.com/) and look for for `IPv4`. This is what you would use to connect from the remote device.
+
+### 3. Connect the remote device to the ST host machine.
+
+Whatever IP you ended up with for your situation, you will put that IP address and port number into the remote device's web browser.
+
+A typical address for an ST host on the same wifi network would look like:
+
+`http://192.168.0.5:8000`
+
+Use http:// NOT https://
+
+### Opening your ST to all IPs
+
+We do not recommend doing this, but you can open `config.conf` and change `whitelist` to `false`.
+
+You must remove (or rename) `whitelist.txt` in the SillyTavern base install folder, if it exists.
+
+This is usually an insecure practice, so we require you to set a username and password when you do this.
+
+The username and password are set in `config.conf`.
+
+After restarting your ST server, any device will be able to connect to it, regardless of their IP as long as they know the username and password.
+
+### Still Unable To Connect?
+
+* Create an inbound/outbound firewall rule for the port found in `config.conf`. Do NOT mistake this for portforwarding on your router, otherwise someone could find your chat logs and that's a big no-no.
+* Enable the Private Network profile type in Settings > Network and Internet > Ethernet. This is VERY important for Windows 11, otherwise you would be unable to connect even with the aforementioned firewall rules.
+
+## Performance issues?
+
+Try enabling the No Blur Effect (Fast UI) mode on the User settings panel.
+
+## I like your project! How do I contribute?
+
+### DO's

-Based on a fork of TavernAI 1.2.8
+Brought to you by Cohee, RossAscends, and the SillyTavern community, SillyTavern is a local-install interface that allows you to interact with text generation AIs (LLMs) to chat and roleplay with custom characters.
 
-### Brought to you by Cohee, RossAscends and the SillyTavern community
+SillyTavern originated as a modification of TavernAI 1.2.8 in February 2023, and has since added many cutting edge features not present in the original TavernAI.
 
-NOTE: We have added [a FAQ](faq.md) to answer most of your questions and help you get started.
+### Features
 
-### What is SillyTavern or TavernAI?
-
-Tavern is a user interface you can install on your computer (and Android phones) that allows you to interact with text generation AIs and chat/roleplay with characters you or the community create.
-
-SillyTavern is a fork of TavernAI 1.2.8 which is under more active development and has added many major features. At this point, they can be thought of as completely independent programs.
-
-### What do I need other than Tavern?
-
-On its own Tavern is useless, as it's just a user interface. You have to have access to an AI system backend that can act as the roleplay character. There are various supported backends: OpenAPI API (GPT), KoboldAI (either running locally or on Google Colab), and more. You can read more about this in [the FAQ](faq.md).
-
-### Do I need a powerful PC to run Tavern?
-
-Since Tavern is only a user interface, it has tiny hardware requirements, it will run on anything. It's the AI system backend that needs to be powerful.
-
-## Mobile support
-
-> **Note**
-
-> **This fork can be run natively on Android phones using Termux. Please refer to this guide by ArroganceComplex#2659:**
-
-<https://rentry.org/STAI-Termux>
-
-**.webp character cards import/export is not supported in Termux. Use either JSON or PNG formats instead.**

-
-### Windows
-
-Installing via Git (recommended for easy updating)
-
-Easy to follow guide with pretty pictures:
-<https://docs.alpindale.dev/pygmalion-extras/sillytavern/#windows-installation>
-
-  1. Install [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en) (latest LTS version is recommended)
-  2. Install [GitHub Desktop](https://central.github.com/deployments/desktop/desktop/latest/win32)
-  3. Open Windows Explorer (`Win+E`)
-  4. Browse to or Create a folder that is not controlled or monitored by Windows. (ex: C:\MySpecialFolder\)
-  5. Open a Command Prompt inside that folder by clicking in the 'Address Bar' at the top, typing `cmd`, and pressing Enter.
-  6. Once the black box (Command Prompt) pops up, type ONE of the following into it and press Enter:
-
-* for Main Branch: `git clone https://github.com/Cohee1207/SillyTavern -b main`
-* for Dev Branch: `git clone https://github.com/Cohee1207/SillyTavern -b dev`
-
-  7. Once everything is cloned, double click `Start.bat` to make NodeJS install its requirements.
-  8. The server will then start, and SillyTavern will popup in your browser.
-
-Installing via zip download
-
-  1. Install [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en) (latest LTS version is recommended)
-  2. Download the zip from this GitHub repo. (Get the `Source code (zip)` from [Releases](https://github.com/Cohee1207/SillyTavern/releases/latest))
-  3. Unzip it into a folder of your choice
-  4. Run `Start.bat` via double-clicking or in a command line.
-  5. Once the server has prepared everything for you, it will open a tab in your browser.
-
-### Linux
-
-  1. Run the `start.sh` script.
-  2. Enjoy.
-
-## API keys management
-
-SillyTavern saves your API keys to a `secrets.json` file in the server directory.
-
-By default they will not be exposed to a frontend after you enter them and reload the page.
-
-In order to enable viewing your keys by clicking a button in the API block:
-
-1. Set the value of `allowKeysExposure` to `true` in `config.conf` file.
-2. Restart the SillyTavern server.
-
-## Remote connections
-
-Most often this is for people who want to use SillyTavern on their mobile phones while their PC runs the ST server on the same wifi network.
-
-However, it can be used to allow remote connections from anywhere as well.
-
-**IMPORTANT: SillyTavern is a single-user program, so anyone who logs in will be able to see all characters and chats, and be able to change any settings inside the UI.**
-
-### 1. Managing whitelisted IPs
-
-* Create a new text file inside your SillyTavern base install folder called `whitelist.txt`.
-* Open the file in a text editor, add a list of IPs you want to be allowed to connect.
-
-*Both indidivual IPs, and wildcard IP ranges are accepted. Examples:*
-
-```txt
-192.168.0.1
-192.168.0.20
-```
-
-or
-
-```txt
-192.168.0.*
-```
-
-(the above wildcard IP range will allow any device on the local network to connect)
-
-CIDR masks are also accepted (eg. 10.0.0.0/24).
-
-* Save the `whitelist.txt` file.
-* Restart your TAI server.
-
-Now devices which have the IP specified in the file will be able to connect.
-
-*Note: `config.conf` also has a `whitelist` array, which you can use in the same way, but this array will be ignored if `whitelist.txt` exists.*
-
-### 2. Getting the IP for the ST host machine
-
-After the whitelist has been setup, you'll need the IP of the ST-hosting device.
-
-If the ST-hosting device is on the same wifi network, you will use the ST-host's internal wifi IP:
-
-* For Windows: windows button > type `cmd.exe` in the search bar > type `ipconfig` in the console, hit Enter > look for `IPv4` listing.
-
-If you (or someone else) wants to connect to your hosted ST while not being on the same network, you will need the public IP of your ST-hosting device.
-
-* While using the ST-hosting device, access [this page](https://whatismyipaddress.com/) and look for for `IPv4`. This is what you would use to connect from the remote device.
-
-### 3. Connect the remote device to the ST host machine.
-
-Whatever IP you ended up with for your situation, you will put that IP address and port number into the remote device's web browser.
-
-A typical address for an ST host on the same wifi network would look like:
-
-`http://192.168.0.5:8000`
-
-Use http:// NOT https://
-
-### Opening your ST to all IPs
-
-We do not recommend doing this, but you can open `config.conf` and change `whitelist` to `false`.
-
-You must remove (or rename) `whitelist.txt` in the SillyTavern base install folder, if it exists.
-
-This is usually an insecure practice, so we require you to set a username and password when you do this.
-
-The username and password are set in `config.conf`.
-
-After restarting your ST server, any device will be able to connect to it, regardless of their IP as long as they know the username and password.
-
-### Still Unable To Connect?
-
-* Create an inbound/outbound firewall rule for the port found in `config.conf`. Do NOT mistake this for portforwarding on your router, otherwise someone could find your chat logs and that's a big no-no.
-* Enable the Private Network profile type in Settings > Network and Internet > Ethernet. This is VERY important for Windows 11, otherwise you would be unable to connect even with the aforementioned firewall rules.
-
-## Performance issues?
-
-Try enabling the No Blur Effect (Fast UI) mode on the User settings panel.
-
-## I like your project! How do I contribute?
