• 📁 Workspaces & Folders: Organize dials by workspace tabs and create iOS/macOS-style folders with drag-and-drop.
• 🛡 100% Zero-Cost & Private: No accounts, no paid APIs, no tracking. Everything stays strictly inside your browser.
• 🌓 Themes & Wallpapers: Firefox System wallpaper matching, Frosted Glass (Glassmorphism), Pure OLED Black, Cyberpunk, and custom wallpaper image upload with blur & dim sliders.
• 🧩 Optional Widgets: Digital clock (12h/24h), multi-engine search bar (Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave, GitHub, Wikipedia), 100% free Open-Meteo weather, and scratchpad notes.
