-Wiretray is a Linux hotspot manager with system tray integration and a desktop configuration interface.
 
-It integrates with NetworkManager to create and manage Wi-Fi hotspots.
+Wiretray is a Linux Wi-Fi hotspot manager designed to make hotspot control available directly from the system tray.
+
+Built around NetworkManager, it provides hotspot management, configuration, and automatic startup through a desktop interface.

+Wiretray began as an experiment, but quickly evolved into a tool I use daily for managing hotspots on Linux.
 
 The long-term goal is simple: make hotspot management feel like any other background service on Linux.
 
-## Current Status
-
-The project is still under active development.
+## Features
 
-Implemented so far:
+Available today:

-## Dependencies
+-   Linux
+-   NetworkManager
+-   A Wi-Fi adapter with Access Point (AP) support
+-   A desktop environment or panel with StatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator support
+
+## Installation
+
+### Debian / Ubuntu
+
+Download the latest `.deb` package from the [Releases](https://github.com/AghastyGD/wiretray/releases) page and install it with:
+
+```
+sudo apt install ./wiretray_*.deb
+```
+
+You can also install it by double-clicking the `.deb` package from your file manager.
+
+After installation, Wiretray can be opened from the application menu.
+
+The application launcher opens the settings window and starts the tray process automatically if it is not already running.
+
+## Autostart
+
+Wiretray can start automatically after login.
+
+Open the settings window and enable:
+
+```
+Start automatically on login
+```
+
+This creates an XDG autostart entry at:
+
+```
+~/.config/autostart/io.github.AghastyGD.Wiretray.desktop
+```
+
+When enabled, Wiretray starts the tray/background process automatically the next time you log in.
+
+## Installed Binaries
+
+The Debian package installs two binaries:
+
+```
+wiretray
+wiretray-settings
+```
+
+`wiretray` starts the tray/background application.
+
+`wiretray-settings` opens the desktop configuration interface.
+
+Normally, users do not need to run these manually. The application launcher and autostart entry handle this automatically.

 ```
 
 Or build a specific binary:
 
-```bash
+```
 cargo build --bin wiretray
 cargo build --bin wiretray-settings
 ```
 
-## Running
+## Running from Source
 
 Start the tray application:
 
-```bash
+```
 cargo run --bin wiretray
 ```
 
 Launch the settings application directly:
 
-```bash
+```
 cargo run --bin wiretray-settings
 ```
 
 ## Development
 
 Format code:
 
-```bash
+```
 cargo fmt
 ```
 
 Run Clippy:
 
-```bash
+```
