Packaging roadmap
Where distribution and integrations go next
More install paths
Direct Linux .deb and .rpm packages are available now. winget for Windows, Homebrew cask for macOS, and Flathub for Linux are the next package-manager targets.
More folder sources
The app already works with folders your system exposes. The next content pass should make NAS shares, external drives, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive workflows easier to find and understand.
More outcome presets
Common jobs such as clean Downloads, rename scans, organize screenshots, and sort archives should be packaged as obvious starting points instead of buried as model or mode settings.
