Resident Mode

When Resident Mode is ON, closing the window keeps the app running in the background so re-showing is instantaneous (skipping the 1.3-second startup).

Operation table

Action Default mode Resident mode
Title bar × button Fully exit Minimize to tray (process continues)
Double-click tray icon — Restore window
Right-click tray icon → Exit — Fully exit
Ctrl + Alt + F4 Same as normal exit Fully exit (bypass tray, exit immediately)
Taskbar display Always Always (since v0.41.7; previously hidden when minimized)
Tray icon Only when Resident Mode is ON Always visible

How it works

  • The tray icon is created when Resident Mode is turned on and removed when it is turned off.
  • The setting is stored as ResidentMode in settings.json.
  • With Resident Mode on, closing the window hides it instead of exiting. Exiting from the tray menu or with Ctrl + Alt + F4 always quits.

Toggle via Control Deck → General → Resident Mode. With it ON, the tray icon remains even after the app is closed; double-clicking restores the window instantly.
