## Core Features & Capabilities

- **Full-Width Quick Notes**: Spacious dark-glass notepad tucked into the notch. Features 1-click export directly into the native macOS Apple Notes application and continuous auto-save to AppStorage.
- **Temporary File Shelf**: Drag files from Finder or browsers and hover over the notch to hold them temporarily with QuickLook rich thumbnails. Easily drag files out to Slack, Discord, or Finder.
- **Instant AirDrop Zone**: Dedicated drop zone inside the notch drawer that immediately dispatches files through native macOS AirDrop without needing to open a Finder window.
- **Pomodoro Focus Timer (Dynamic Island Ear)**: Start 25-minute focus intervals. When the notch drawer is collapsed, the live countdown timer remains visible in the notch ear (`⏱ 24:50`).
- **Live Camera Mirror**: Horizontally flipped webcam preview right beneath the notch. Ideal for checking appearance, hair, or lighting before video calls with zero latency.
- **Mini Music Player**: Real-time display of currently playing track and artist from Apple Music or Spotify, complete with play/pause controls and equalizer animation.
- **Auto-Hiding Screenshot Utility**: 1-click screenshot trigger that automatically collapses the notch drawer for 150ms before triggering macOS screen capture to ensure screenshots stay clean.
- **Native Swift & AppKit/SwiftUI Performance**: Built purely with native Swift and SwiftUI. Weighs under 15 MB with virtually zero idle CPU or memory usage (no Electron).
