How It Works

System Tray Icon: When the app is launched, an icon appears in the system tray. Notifications: The app fetches the latest Aptos price every minute from CoinGecko and sends notifications when price thresholds are crossed. Pause/Resume: You can pause and resume price monitoring through the system tray menu. Quit: The app can be closed via the system tray.

Key Files

src/main.js Contains the core logic for the Electron app, including price fetching and system tray management. aptos.png: The icon used in notifications and the system tray. Configuration The app fetches the Aptos price from the CoinGecko API by default. You can modify the API or add additional functionality (e.g., custom price thresholds) in the src/main.js file.
