 ## Status
 
-Phase 1's core is implemented and Phase 2 is underway. The repository contains the standalone frontend, an asynchronous per-user D-Bus daemon, `parleyctl`, GDK clipboard copying, prototype notifications, and service definitions. The custom shortcut installer, insertion experiments, and GNOME extension are not implemented yet.
