Features

• Modern WPF XAML GUI: A clean, hardware-accelerated dark theme dashboard that renders all categories in responsive columns.
• Instant Search Filtering: Type in the search box to filter categories and applications instantly. Pressing Enter when a single match is displayed will launch it immediately, automatically highlighting the search box for your next query.
• Intuitive Keyboard Navigation:
  • Arrow Keys: Move focus between buttons/columns. Navigating Left/Right matches the closest vertical button in the next column rather than resetting to the top of the list.
  • Spacebar: Toggles the checkbox next to the focused tool to queue/select it for a batch run.
  • Enter: Executes all checked items simultaneously in the background (Run Selected) and unselects/clears all checkboxes when finished.
• Distinct Taskbar Branding: Uses Win32 API overrides to separate the application process group from standard PowerShell windows, displaying the custom app icon natively on the Windows taskbar.
• Non-Blocking Executions: Individual scripts run in dedicated background sessions, allowing the main GUI to remain fully responsive.
