Contributor guide

Research direction
Profile the app's CPU usage when idle using Activity Monitor or Instruments. Check for background processes, setInterval, or unnecessary re renders. Look into the way the launcher window is hidden instead of closed, and ensure no timers are running when the window is not visible.
