## Beschreibung

Time to Update sends you a nicely formatted email notification whenever updates 
are available for your WordPress core, installed plugins, or themes.

For security conscious site owners who want to keep their site up to date, Time 
to Update provides a simple, lightweight, and set-and-forget solution. It ensures
you never miss a critical core security patch or a plugin update just because you
haven’t logged into the dashboard lately.

The plugin runs quietly in the background using WordPress cron. It uses standard
WordPress update channels and does not rely on third-party SaaS services.

### Features

 * Sends email notifications for WordPress Core, Plugin, and Theme updates.
 * „Settings“ link included directly in the Plugins list for quick access.
 * Clean, readable HTML email format with automatic plain-text fallback.
 * You can set your notification email address and update check frequency.
 * Manual „Check Now“ and „Send Test Email“ buttons for instant verification.
 * Lightweight and self-contained with no external SaaS dependencies.
