+# WhatsApp Lite (Unofficial)
+
+A lightweight, clean, and optimized wrapper for WhatsApp Web, built with Tauri. This application provides a native-like experience on Windows with enhanced privacy and UI customizations.
+
+## Features
+
+*   **Clean Interface**: Automatically hides "Communities", "Channels", and "Meta AI" tabs to keep your workspace focused on chats.
+*   **Banner Removal**: Removes the annoying "Get WhatsApp for Windows" and "Download" banners.
+*   **System Tray Integration**: Minimizes to the system tray instead of closing, ensuring you never miss a message.
+*   **Custom Scrollbar**: Features a sleek, minimal scrollbar that blends perfectly with the dark/light theme.
+*   **Lightweight**: Built on Tauri v2, ensuring minimal resource usage compared to the official Electron-based app.
+*   **Privacy Focused**: No tracking or data collection; it's just a direct wrapper around the official WhatsApp Web.
+
