📄 Description

Providing an option to launch Actual on computer startup.

This will be a follow up feature if the desktop app ever hosts the electron-sync server.

  • Provide an option to start actual-server when the computer starts up
  • Allow the app to start silently in the app tray. This will allow the sync server to run without the Actual app getting in the way.

Will be useful for: #3631 - it will enable us to start the sync server when the computer starts. Ideally we'd find a way to start it in a background process.

Tested on:

  • Windows
  • Mac
  • Linux
