+# DataLoom
+
+Offline desktop application for reviewing and merging Bitwarden exports.
+
+## Status
+
+Initial project scaffold and design documentation. Implementation has not started.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Import two or more same-format, unencrypted Bitwarden exports.
+- Support JSON and CSV input, preserving all representable Bitwarden data.
+- Automatically remove only exact duplicates.
+- Keep uncertain and conflicting records for review.
+- Produce one merged output in the same format as the inputs.
+- Provide a comprehensive on-screen and plain-text audit log.
+- Operate offline with no uploads or external service dependencies.
+
+## Security note
+
+Bitwarden exports and the requested full audit log contain secrets. DataLoom must display a prominent warning before import and clearly identify all generated files and their locations. Real exports must never be committed to source control.
+
+## Planned technology
+
+Python and PySide6/Qt for a desktop application. The initial implementation will use synthetic fixtures only.
+
+## Development
+
+The detailed design is in [`docs/design.md`](docs/design.md). See [`docs/roadmap.md`](docs/roadmap.md) for the planned milestones.
