-## Features
+[![Overview](docs/screenshots/overview.png)](docs/screenshots/overview.png)
 
-- **Live inventory** — drop progress, claim status, and per-drop ETA in real time.
-- **Target + priority** — build a priority list of games; the app focuses on the
-  most important actionable game and rotates through the list.
-- **Auto-watch** — auto-selects a stream, auto-switches when the current one
-  disappears, and recovers from stalls (no watch-time progress) on its own.
-- **Auto-claim** (optional) — claims completed drops and keeps an activity audit.
-- **Warmup mode** (optional) — briefly watches a stream to discover drops when no
-  priority game is currently active.
-- **Alerts** — new drops, auto-claim, drop ending soon, watch errors.
-- **Browser-based login** — no credentials are stored by the app.
-- **Demo mode** — explore the full UI without a live Twitch account.
-- **Debug tools** — live logs, a state snapshot, and perf/CPU sampling (off by default).

+DropPilot also stays out of your way while it works: a live status readout
+(scanning, watching, recovering…), claim-retry countdowns, and a one-click prompt
+to sign back in when your Twitch session expires. A **Debug** tab (off by
+default) adds live logs and a state snapshot for when you need to dig in.
