### How It Works
78-
1. Click **Start Speed Test** to run a speed test in a background thread.
79-
2. The app finds the best server, runs the test, and updates the UI with smooth progress.
80-
3. Results are shown instantly; you can repeat the test, view/export history, or plot interactive graphs.
81-
4. All network info and history operations are also asynchronous.
82-
5. Toast notifications inform you of completion or errors.

### Building the Application
85-
To build the application in `.app` format:
86-
```bash
87-
pyinstaller main.spec
88-
```
89-
The `.app` will appear in the `dist` directory.
66+
### 💡 How It Works
67+
1. Click **Start Speed Test** — everything runs in the background, UI stays responsive
68+
2. See your results instantly, repeat as needed
69+
3. View/export your test history, plot interactive graphs
70+
4. All network info and history are fetched asynchronously
71+
5. Toasts notify you of completion or errors

#### Troubleshooting PyInstaller/macOS
92-
- If the app does not open, run the binary from terminal to see errors:
93-
```bash
94-
dist/Alex_SpeedTest.app/Contents/MacOS/alexs_speedtest
95-
```
96-
- If you see `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter'`, ensure your Python has Tkinter support and rebuild the venv.
97-
- If macOS blocks the app, run:
73+

74+
75+
### 🐞 Troubleshooting
76+
- App won't open? Try:
9877
```bash
9978
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine dist/Alex_SpeedTest.app
79+
dist/Alex_SpeedTest.app/Contents/MacOS/alexs_speedtest
10080
```
