Automatic updates

The first version
App groups. Your pinned apps in named groups. Drag apps on to pin, off to unpin.
Widgets you choose: Recent Apps, Search, Memory & AI Usage, Minimized Windows, Quick Links, Projects, Downloads, Trash and more. Show, hide and reorder them in Customize Pier… (right-click the bar).
Search (⌥Space) for apps, System Settings panes, files and your newest screenshots.
Hover previews of an app's windows, window lists and tab groups.
A short first-launch walkthrough: import your Dock's apps, pick widgets, grant permissions.
