A repository of my QMDs

This repository contains multiple QMD xovi extensions that are QoL improvements for the xochitl interface. QMDs in this repo add a quicktools-like floating bar, a layer management bar, and multiple gestures. Any bugs should be reported in the issues tab.

As this project is done entirely in my free time, I'd appreciate support via Ko-Fi :)

  • Long swipe up/down to change thickness
