3. Core Features & Advantages

1. Native Low-Memory Footprint: Uses the OS native WebView runtime (WebView2 on Windows, WebKit on macOS, WebKitGTK on Linux), resulting in tiny install packages and far lower RAM consumption than Electron apps;
2. Unified CLI & GUI Integration: On first launch, the desktop app automatically symlinks the jeikcode CLI into your PATH (e.g. ~/.local/bin or Windows AppData), enabling seamless switching between terminal and GUI;
3. Deep OS Integration: Supports native notifications, multi-window tiling, system tray, and keyboard shortcuts.
