Every plugin I install adds its own item to the wp-admin sidebar. This can lead to quite a messy menu area, and it started to bother me. I wanted a cleaner UI just like I get with other web apps.

The plugin lets me drag items into the order I actually use, hide the ones I rarely touch, and group related tools under a custom heading instead of scrolling past them every day. It's a single file with no build process and no dependency beyond the jQuery UI Sortable that already ships with WordPress.
