@rajpurohit_vijesh So glad you liked it man thanks for the comment
This looks so handy! Love how Hoot brings all those little everyday tools and widgets right into the menu bar. Makes so much sense and saves so many clicks. Excited to see what new widgets and tools you add next! 🚀

@tuba_ismail1 Thanks for the comment Tuba, currently i'm thinking of adding more widgets also a way to faster switch between widgets

The menu bar approach makes sense for frequently used tools. I probably check weather and battery status way too often throughout the day.
How does the recent screenshots feature handle storage management? Most people accumulate hundreds of screenshots and never clean them up. Does it show everything or have some kind of intelligent filtering?
Also curious about the sleep/wake toggle - can it handle different power management scenarios, like staying awake only when on power vs battery, or does it just override system settings completely?

@alex_chu821 Hi Alex thanks for the comment. The recent screenshot system is pretty simple right now as it shows the latest screenshots in desktop. the screen awake mode also for now has a timer system it's not power source dependent.

@sobhan_eskandari Thanks for the clarification. The timer-based approach for sleep mode makes sense for v1. Power source dependency could be a useful feature for future iterations - most people want different behavior when plugged in vs on battery.

@alex_chu821 I see that sounds useful
This hits home, I'm always hunting through Finder for screenshots or digging into settings for quick tools. Having it all one click away in the menu bar feels like a major workflow win.
How's the memory footprint? Menubar apps can get heavy with constant widgets running.
