## Kitsmith's take

A fresh hub built around gestures: scroll to expand the island, flip sideways between widgets, hover to peek. Local-first with no account required, under 1% idle CPU, and free while in beta — a low-risk way to try a full-featured hub right now.

## Features

- **Gesture-driven island:** Scroll to expand, scroll sideways to flip between widgets, hover to peek, click to pin — the island is driven by trackpad gestures rather than menus.
- **Widget set:** Music, meetings, clipboard, weather, focus timers, device batteries, and system stats around the notch.
- **Universal music detection:** Picks up playback from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud.
- **Meeting link detection:** Detects Teams, Zoom, Meet, and Webex links so joining is one click from the island.
- **Light footprint:** A native app around 5 MB that idles under 1% CPU, per the developer.
