You can use RBtray to do this for free. It makes it so that whenever you right-click on the minimize button, the app gets put into the system tray. These workarounds are okay, but there are plenty of functionalities which aren’t supported.
- If you try to open Obsidian while it’s in the system tray, it doesn’t pop that window out, but instead let’s you open a new one. For me personally, it’s quite annoying to need to go to the system tray all the time to open an app.
- It doesn’t automatically send the window to system tray when you want to close it, so the app won’t always be open and this is pretty much the primary reason why I’d want this feature.
- Obsidian can’t be launched in system tray on startup with this method.
- etc.
