+Ultimate Ban Tracker is a standalone desktop application for Windows and Linux designed to manage multiple Steam accounts and monitor ban statuses. It features an automated account switcher, stealth cooldown tracking, and an optional community-driven synchronization system.
 
 ## Features
 
 ### Account Management
-*   **Credential-free Login**: Switch between Steam accounts instantly. The application extracts and injects authentication tokens directly into local Steam configuration files, bypassing the need for manual credential entry or Steam Guard codes on every switch.
+*   **One-Click Switching**: Switch between Steam accounts instantly. The application manages authentication tokens and registry keys directly, bypassing the need for manual login or Steam Guard codes.
-*   **Session Synchronization**: Sync login states across multiple machines via the optional community server. Authenticate once, and the session is available to authorized community members.
+*   **Session Synchronization**: Optional cross-machine sync via a dedicated backend. Authenticate once, and the encrypted session is available to authorized community members.
-*   **Auto-Discovery**: Automatically detects and imports accounts currently logged into the local Steam client.
+*   **Auto-Discovery**: Detects and imports local Steam accounts automatically.
+*   **Isolated Sessions**: Uses per-account browser partitions to prevent session leakage during authentication.
 
 ### Monitoring and Tracking
-*   **Cooldown Tracking**: Scrapes Steam Personal Game Data (GCPD) to provide live countdowns for Counter-Strike competitive cooldowns.
+*   **Cooldown Tracking**: Automated scraping of Steam Personal Game Data (GCPD) for live Counter-Strike competitive cooldown countdowns.
-*   **Distributed Scraping**: Cooldown data is aggregated on the community server; only one active client is required to keep the status updated for all users tracking that account.
+*   **Stealth Sync**: Uses randomized intervals and non-blocking background workers to avoid Steam web detection.
-*   **Ban Detection**: Real-time monitoring for VAC and developer game bans.
+*   **Ban Status**: Real-time monitoring for VAC and developer game bans with high-signal indicators.
 
-### User Interface
+### Desktop Integration
-*   **Dynamic Theming**: Includes several built-in color schemes including Steam Classic, Catppuccin (Mocha/Latte), Nord, and Tokyo Night.
+*   **System Tray**: Persistent tray icon for quick account switching and synchronization without opening the main window.
-*   **Denisty-Focused Design**: Compact list view allows for monitoring a large number of accounts simultaneously.
+*   **Minimize-to-Tray**: The application runs in the background to ensure continuous ban monitoring and data freshness.
+*   **Dynamic Theming**: Support for Steam Classic, Catppuccin (Mocha/Latte), Nord, and Tokyo Night. App icons automatically adapt to match the selected theme.
