Checklist

• The directory name matches the part of id after the / in plugin.toml exactly.
• It ships plugin.toml, README.md, thumbnail.webp, and translations/en.json.
• README.md follows the
  README template, documents
  every entry id and dependency, and includes exact panel IPC commands and launcher prefixes where applicable.
• I created thumbnail.webp with the thumbnail generator.
• version follows semver and is bumped in this PR; plugin_api is the oldest API level this plugin requires.
• Every non-English translation in this PR uses a locale supported by Noctalia core, and I can read, write, and
  understand that language well enough to review and maintain it (no unreviewed machine/LLM translations).
• I did not edit catalog.toml; CI generates it.
• This PR touches exactly one plugin directory.

Code review attestation

Plugins run as trusted, unsandboxed Luau in the user's session. Confirm:

• The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated.
• It does not download and execute remote code.
• Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is something the description above accounts for.
• I have the right to publish this code under the license declared in plugin.toml.

wouldn't having small panel that you can choose from be better ? like and faster too from repeating click to reach what you want ?

1. non-blocking - PR description, "Code review attestation" section
   All four code-review attestation checkboxes are unchecked:

   • "The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated."
   • "It does not download and execute remote code."
   • "Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is
     something the description above accounts for."
   • "I have the right to publish this code under the license declared
     in plugin.toml."

   The PR template requires these checkboxes to be present, and they
   represent the author's own attestation about the submitted code.
   The author should check all four before merge.

2. non-blocking - PR description, "Testing" section
   "Noctalia version tested against" and "Plugin API level" are both
   left blank. These help reviewers confirm compatibility with the
   declared plugin_api = 3.
