[Feature] Hide dock icon in OSX

I thought you could do this on the original repo but can't see an option for it anywhere?

Thanks!

Hello,

The icon in the dock is visible when the window is detached or is open, this is necessary for it to work properly when using alt + tab

Ah right, i didn't realise the icon went away.. Turns out if you hide the dropdown by clicking anywhere else the icon does not go, like it does when you click the menu bar item.

Hi,

Same problem here:

  • I cannot hide the dock icon
  • I solely use Home Assistant Desktop with the menu bar icon, never the dock icon (just adds clutter)

What I tried:

  • I edited the Info.plist file by adding the LSUIElement key and set to true: still not working (the dock icon is hidden at first, but shows up as soon as the menu bar icon is hovered/clicked, and the dock icon does not go away).

Question:

  • Is there a way to hide the dock icon for good ? (like in Alfred, Bartender, BetterTouchTool; menu bar icon or spotlight is enough, no dock icon needed)
