Rough functionality

• All actions should be queryable, similar to cosmic settings where known actions of unknown locations can easily be found
• UI should be clean and aligned with cosmic design principles
• All functionality should be contained within the applet: no secondary app for settings, sms services, etc. except for obvious cases like file viewing (using cosmic files)

sudo apt install just
