 **HeliboardL** is a fork of [HeliBoard](https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard) - a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard based on AOSP/OpenBoard.
 
 This fork adds **AI-powered features** using the Gemini API while maintaining the offline-first philosophy of the original.
 
 ## What's New in HeliboardL
 
-- **🤖 Gemini AI Proofreading** - Fix grammar and spelling with one tap using toolbar key
-- **🌐 AI Translation** - Translate selected text via toolbar
-- **🎨 Enhanced Toolbar UI** - Squircle backgrounds for toolbar keys
-- **🕵️ Incognito Mode Indicator** - Subtle watermark on spacebar when incognito is active
+- **🤖 Gemini AI Proofreading** - Fix grammar and spelling with one tap (Standard only)
+- **🌐 AI Translation** - Translate selected text directly (Standard only)
+- **🎨 Modern UI** - "Squircle" key backgrounds and refined icons (incognito, etc.)
+- **🕵️ Clear Incognito Mode** - Distinct "Hat & Glasses" icon for clear visibility
+- **🔒 Privacy Choices** - Choose **Standard** (Offline-first with opt-in AI) or **Offline** (Hard-disabled network) versions
 - **📥 Gesture Library Downloader** - Easier setup for glide typing

+### 📦 Choose Your Version
+
+We provide two distinct versions. **Note:** Both versions use the same package name (`helium314.keyboard.l`) and signature. You can only have **one** installed at a time.
+
+#### 1. Standard Version (`-standard-release.apk`)
+*   **Features:** Full suite including **AI Proofreading**, **AI Translation**, and **Gesture Library Downloader**.
+*   **Permissions:** Request `INTERNET` permission (used *only* when you explicitly use AI features or download libraries).
+*   **Best For:** Users who want smart features alongside privacy.
+
+#### 2. Offline Version (`-offline-release.apk`)
+*   **Features:** All UI/UX refinements (Squircle keys, new Icons) but **excludes** all AI and network features.
+*   **Permissions:** **NO INTERNET PERMISSION** in the manifest. Guaranteed at the OS level.
+*   **Best For:** Privacy purists who require a hard guarantee that no data can ever leave the device.
