smpl-apps

Latest release: v0.7.0

Rust GUI apps for smplOS.

What's new in v0.7.0

• Start-menu Enter key works. Pressing Enter while searching now launches the top result immediately. Previously the search FocusScope (needed for arrow-key navigation) had no Return handler so Enter silently did nothing.

• "Airplane Mode", "WiFi", "Bluetooth" and other settings keywords are searchable. The settings search index was missing several card-level keywords. Typing "airplane mode", "pair bluetooth", or "resolution" in the start-menu now finds the right settings card and highlights it when Settings opens.

• Settings keywords survive redeployment. deploy-local.sh now calls rebuild-app-cache after exporting the settings index, so all keywords are in the app_index that start-menu reads after every deploy.

• CI guardrails prevent the above three regressions from returning silently. See CHANGELOG.md for the full list.

All apps use Slint with the software renderer + Winit/Wayland backend for composited transparency.
