looks like a paid and closed source fork of the free and open source project Handy: https://github.com/cjpais/Handy

can't say for sure, but a lot of the UI (and text) is quite familiar. the history page is a near rip off which is a giveaway.

i believe the mit license should be distributed since it's almost certainly a derivative work.

"The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

I can't confirm if the license is infact distributed, since I would have to pay $50, which quite frankly I'm not going to do.

a bit sad to see a ui reskin claimed as original work. the reskin is totally fine, but I believe the license must be distributed. i believe in the proliferation of this software so im happy to see this overall (it's good enough someone wants to charge for it! that's a big win!) but it's just a bit of a shame how this project has gone about it imo.
