GitHub Issue Template: Application Start on macOS Startup (Minimized)

Title:
Request: Launch application on macOS startup in a minimized state

Description:
It would be helpful if the application could start automatically when the user logs in on macOS, but without showing the main window. Instead, the application should start in a minimized or background state, such as appearing only in the menu bar or dock. This feature would enhance user experience by reducing distractions during system startup.

Current Behavior:
Currently, when the application is set to launch on startup, it opens its main window, which might interrupt the user's workflow.

Desired Behavior:
When configured to start on macOS startup, the application should:

  1. Launch automatically.
  2. Minimize the main window or keep it hidden.
  3. Optionally, provide an indicator (e.g., a menu bar icon or dock presence) to show that the application is running.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Enable the application to launch on macOS startup.
  2. Restart the macOS system.
  3. Observe that the application opens its main window on startup.

Proposed Solution:
Implement a preference toggle to control the startup behavior:

  • Option 1: Open normally.
  • Option 2: Launch minimized or in the background.

Additional Context:

  • macOS version: [Add version here, e.g., macOS Sonoma 14.0]
  • Application version: [Add app version here]
  • [Include any logs or screenshots if relevant.]

Related Documentation or Resources:

This feature would align with standard macOS application behavior and improve user convenience. Thank you!
