6.0.0

Release Notes: Version 6.0.0 (Major Update)
✨ The "Liquid Glass" Evolution
•
Global Glassmorphism: Introducing the new "Liquid Glass Effect"—a stunning aesthetic layer that can be applied to any theme. It adds frosted glass backgrounds and animated light-catching borders to all UI components.
•
GPU-Accelerated Backgrounds: Experience a new, buttery-smooth animated "liquid" gradient background. Optimized to run directly on the GPU for maximum performance without draining your battery.
•
Adaptive Contrast: The glass effect now intelligently adapts to your theme. It automatically switches to a "Subtle Dark Glass" when using Light Mode to ensure perfect readability.
🧠 Revolutionary Ultra-Focus Mode
•
Timed Focus Sessions: Set a countdown (15m to 2h) to lock yourself into a distraction-free environment.
•
Essentials-Only Dashboard: Your phone transforms into a minimalist tool featuring only 7 core essentials (Phone, Camera, Maps, WhatsApp, Messaging, Music, and Notes).
•
Zero-Trigger UI: No icons, no colors—just beautifully centered, extra-light typography.
•
Alphabetical Precision: Essential apps are now sorted alphabetically for instant, muscle-memory access.
•
Real-Time Awareness: A live, per-second countdown timer keeps you aware of your remaining deep-work time.

Zero-Lag Engine: Offloaded complex state calculations to background threads and implemented a new IPC Cache for system queries, making the app significantly more responsive on all devices.
