I'm wondering if there's any way to detect if the plugin starts for the first time. Also, if there's anyway to perform clean up when xbar closes or the OS shuts down

@donysukardi most plugins do cleanup on startup (i.e. delete old temp files).

We have discussed having a way to know if the plugin is being run for the first time. Others have needed this.

Do you mean plugin run for the first time today (or since the last restart), or do you need to know when the plugin was first run on the computer?

my use case is for clean up, so perhaps since last restart restart (which should also include when plugin first run on the computer) would be sufficient
