+# Features
+- Simple installation configuration using JSON
+- Ability to toggle activity using keybinding (default - D)
+- Displays current file name and timestamps
+- Displays track metadata (artist, title, album)
+- Displays cover art from MusicBrainz archive
+- Rusty! 🦀 
+
+# Installation 
+1. Download latest release and unzip it
+2. Run the installer script
+3. Keybindings can be changed in input.conf
+4. Done!
+
+# Why?
+- Alternative solutions either require third-party dependencies or were unreliable in my experience
+- Furthermore, none of them allow automatic pulling of cover art!
+- Learning and gaining experience in Rust!
