Optional menu bar icon
I'd love it if Secretive were a menu bar app that (optionally?) didn't show up in the Command Tab app switcher. In normal usage, I don't expect that many folks want to be navigating to Secretive's window on a regular basis.
@obra so part of the reason I put this as more idea category is that I'm really not sure how often people will need to be in the actual Secretive app – most of the time you can just quit it and let SecretAgent do the work, the only time you need to be in Secretive is to make changes (as you noted). I think the best motivation would be like some sort of assurance that like "yes, the agent is running, and here's an easy way to launch the administrative app."
If you have feelings on how it'd fit into your workflow beyond that, I'd love to hear them!
Oh! The reason I was confused was that on initial install, the UI mentioned needing to install a helper app to talk to the secure enclave.
I wonder if changing the display name of the app currently called "Secretive" to "Secretive Configuration" or something would make it more obvious. Or maybe even moving the configuration into a prefpane.
