• 📲 Notifications about important events or changes in projects.
• 🔗 Integrations with other services (for example, Google Drive, Dropbox).
• 🛠️ Technical support for functions that cannot work directly through the main application.

It often appears on the device automatically when installing other software from Zenkit (for example, Zenkit To Do) or through affiliate apps.
