Cool! Disappointing there's so much focus on the non-sandboxing, I think it's a reasonable trade-off to release early, and follow up with signing later.

- Website looks great overall, but the fixed and overlaid header title is awkward and hurts readability for not much benefit.

- Battery Health on my M3 Max MBP reads as "1%", when System Report shows Condition: Normal, Maximum Capacity: 100%. What is this reading from?

- Handy password generator is great; any chance of an option for "correct horse" [0] style passwords? I find these are preferable for reasonably secure passwords which can still be remembered or hand-typed as needed.

Looking forward to seeing how the app evolves!

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like it!

Yes, the pre-release is intended for testing purposes, so thanks for bringing the battery health issue to my attention. It is calculated from the the battery's reported design capacity and current capacity, but the reported values seem to be unreliable across different systems.

The password generator suggestion is interesting, but I intentionally gave the user only one password generator option in the base version of the app - the most secure one :)
