The Electron + Vue stack that carried the app from v0.1 through v0.13 has been replaced with a native <a href="https://tauri.app">Tauri 2</a> application backed by Rust and Svelte 5. No Chromium. No Node runtime bundled into your menu bar. The installer on Windows is under 5 MB.</p> <h2 id="why-rewrite-it">Why rewrite it</h2> <p>The original app worked, but it carried Electron&rsquo;s weight everywhere — a full browser engine sitting behind a 300×400 timer window. Tauri fixes the fundamental mismatch: the UI is still web tech (Svelte, CSS), but the platform layer is native Rust, and the OS webview handles rendering. The result is a dramatically smaller binary, faster startup, and lower memory use at idle.</p>
