Tendvane is in active beta. Highlights below; full details ship with each release.

Current

What's running (memory hogs with one-click close), browser cache cleanup, sound devices, and a fix the clock repair.
Camera & mic watchdog (who used them, and what's active now), new-program watch, device battery for Bluetooth gear, and a Wi-Fi channel check.
Share Wi-Fi with a scannable QR code - pick a network and a guest points their phone at it; plus bulk uninstall of several programs at once.
Easier to use - most sections now check themselves automatically when you open them (with a Scan-again button), your Store apps live in the one Apps list with a Store tag, the System page is grouped in plain language, and Health runs a full check-up that lists what to fix.
