+# STA
+sta is a minimal & simple status monitor app built in c.
+
+## How it works
+STA creates a UNIX socket on the server side and keeps running, waiting for updates from clients.
+
+When you run it for the first time, it starts the server (daemon) and keeps running.  
+After that, you can send status updates.
+
+### Example
+```bash
+# Run the server
+sta
+```
+
+```
+# Send a status update
+sta -id 1 -name "$(date +%H:%M)"
+```
+
+This sends the current time to the server with a unique ID.
+To update the status, rerun the command.
