## Useful for

- Arrange windows across two displays with a single voice command
- Find a file by its contents and open it on another screen
- Save a repeated command as an instant shortcut that skips the AI

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 07:55–09:31: 20 → 30 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +17 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 30 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 2
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 7 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 6

## Stars per day, last 3 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
