WannaTool\n\n\u003e WannaTool is a lightweight and focused Windows launcher designed to stay fast, simple, and out of your way.  \n\u003e It provides quick access to applications and a small set of power-user actions — without background bloat or unnecessary services.\n\nInspired by tools like Spotlight and Raycast, WannaTool is built specifically for Windows, with performance and restraint as first-class goals.\n\n![GitHub last commit](https://img.shields.io/github/last-commit/laxyny/wannatool?style=for-the-badge)\n![GitHub issues](https://img.shields.io/github/issues/laxyny/wannatool?style=for-the-badge)\n![GitHub pull requests](https://img.shields.io/github/issues-pr/laxyny/wannatool?style=for-the-badge)\n![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/github/license/laxyny/wannatool?style=for-the-badge)\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Laxyny/WannaTool/main/.github/assets/screenshot.png\" alt=\"WannaTool Screenshot\" width=\"700\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Philosophy\n\nWannaTool is intentionally minimal.\n\nIt does **not** try to replace Task Manager, MSI Center, or system “optimizer” tools.  \nIt avoids background monitoring, aggressive cleaners, and permanent services.\n\nEvery feature follows a simple rule:\n\n\u003e If it is not explicitly useful, fast, and user-initiated, it does not belong in WannaTool.\n\nThe goal is to provide a clean launcher and a small set of reliable power-user actions — nothing more.\n\n---\n\n## Core Features\n\n- **Quick launcher**  \n  Open applications, files, and shortcuts instantly using `Alt + Space`.\n\n- **Process inspection \u0026 termination**  \n  View the heaviest running processes and terminate them on demand (`!top`, `!kill`).  \n  No background monitoring, no automation.\n\n- **Lightweight system monitoring**  \n  Optional CPU and GPU usage display, designed to stay near zero cost when idle.\n\n- **Modern and clean UI**  \n  Minimal interface, high-quality icons, DPI-aware, and fully multi-monitor compatible.\n\n- **Persistent settings**  \n  User configuration stored safely in AppData, with instant application of changes.\n\n---\n\n## What WannaTool Is *Not*\n\nTo keep the project focused and reliable, WannaTool deliberately does **not** include:\n\n- RAM cleaners or “boosters”\n- Automatic system or service optimizers\n- Battery or peripheral monitoring\n- Heavy background watchers\n\nThose features exist elsewhere and do not align with the purpose of this tool.\n\n---\n\n## Current Status\n\nWannaTool is currently in **alpha**.\n\nThe core architecture is stable, but features and UI may evolve.  \nThe focus is on correctness, performance, and polish rather than rapid feature expansion.\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\nPrebuilt binaries will be provided in GitHub Releases.\n\nFor development:\n\n  ```bash\n    git clone https://github.com/laxyny/wannatool.git\n  ```\n\n---\n\n## Roadmap (Short Term)\n- Further performance and memory optimizations\n- Command system improvements\n- UX polish and edge-case handling\n- Documentation and command discovery\n\nNo large features are planned without clear justification.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is
