Can we get rid of the window?

[migmit-dino]

There is nothing useful in the main window. Is it possible to just not show it at all? Not when Finicky starts, not ever? It's very annoying.

Does the window open when you don't want it to? Under normal use it should only open if Finicky is launched directly (not necessary if it's the default browser), if there's an error, or if launched manually from the menu bar.

It opens every time I click a link in a non-browser application.

For me it shows only when finicky is starting... and I would like to get rid of it then too. Can it start minimized or something?

[johnste]

There's currently no way to disable the window, but if someone is up for adding that as a config option please go ahead

I would prefer that option as well. As long as everything works as expected I don't need to see the Finicky app (not even once).

Hey @migmit-dino, in my PR I've vibecoded an option to hide the window on app start. With it enabled, the window won't appear when opening URLs.

Even in the current version, if you manually close the Finicky window it stops showing up on each URL-open event. My new option just removes the need for that manual step: Finicky starts with no window open in the first place.

It doesn't change the default behavior, FYI.

Tested it locally, looks good

I see Finicky opening its window occasionally when I click a link from some app, maybe once a day. It still opens the link in the browser, but the window pops-up for some reason.
