What is new in Findly 1.0.0

A rebuild of the whole app.

- **New default shortcut: ⌃`** — gives macOS back ⌘` for cycling an app's windows. Click the menu bar icon to open the drawer too; right-click it for the menu.
- **AppKit file list and sidebar** — Finder's list view and shortcuts (Return renames, ⌘⌫ trashes, Space for Quick Look), folders that expand in place, dates that shorten to fit the column, a header on the card's own colour.
- **Sidebar like Finder's** — Favorites in Finder's order, iCloud Drive, drives with eject buttons, tags (folded at first), and cloud folders with their provider's icon (Dropbox). Turn items on and off in Settings › Sidebar, or choose "Same as Finder" to follow Finder's own sidebar settings.
- **Drawer** — opens on the screen the pointer is on, remembers width and height separately (up to 85% of the screen), respects Reduce Motion.
- **New settings card** — General, Drawer (including Show Hidden Files, off by default), Sidebar, Shortcuts (conflict checks), Permissions, About.
- **Lighter** — 13 MB idle, about 35 MB with the drawer open; the app is 2.5 MB.
- **Six languages** — 繁體中文, English, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Português (Brasil).

Install: `brew install --cask rocavence/tap/findly`, or download the zip below. Self-signed: on first launch without Homebrew, right-click → Open.
