Can you keep alDente running ONLY in Menubar?

[fffelan1]

Hi,

On my MacBook Pro m1 the App completely looses its functionality after quitting the app with cmd + q. Other Menubar Apps keep running in the menubar even when you close the application.

Is this behavior intended? Will the pro version allow me to do this?

Thanks,
Phelan

Hi @fffelan1,

As far as I know, cmd+q always closes apps completely.
If you want to have AlDente running in the background, even without the menubar item, you need AlDente Pro which has a setting called "Hide Menubar Icon".

Cheers,
Matthias

Thanks for the quick response,

No, I want the app to vanish from the dock and the cmd + tab app switcher, but remain in the menubar.

Then you need to go to Settings/Appearance and disable "Show Dock Icon".

I overlooked this too until I found it. The reason is that the window was extended below the bottom of my screen.
