Motion Finder
Scans your app for the places motion would actually help.
What it does
Search a codebase or UI for places that don't animate but should, and reject everything that shouldn't. Read-only; it proposes motion with exact values, it does not implement it. Use when the user asks "what could be animated here?" or wants to "make this feel more alive". For fixing existing animations, use motion-audit or motion-review instead.
Install in under a minute
