❓ Is your feature request related to a problem?

Make it possible to run your tool like a normal app

💡 Describe the solution you'd like

Create a shortcut on the desktop (like all other windows applications do) which could be a script running the needed command.

🔄 Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

🖼️ Additional context

as you want this tool to become the best, i would recommend making it more user friendly, and issuing a command in the terminal is not that (for average users), let alone remembering it for updates via winget etc. later on. This could make it easier for them to also get onboard, when not having to touch CLI ;)
