A collection of lightweight applets for system management, written in Qt6/C++
Currently only PowerApplet and ActionApplet - more coming soon!
The applets are designed with focus on keyboard-first controls, but have full mouse support. To prevent accidental destructive actions, like shutdown or reboot, controlling buttons with keyboard requires pressing a button twice. Mouse presses don't have the same limitation.
Provides shutdown, reboot, suspend, and hibernate controls with customizable shell command passing.
Provides a full environment for the creation of custom shell commands.
Tiling window manager users who want lightweight utilities that complement their keyboard-centric workflow. Casual users are welcome too, mouse is also supported.
