How to Create a Tray-Only Tauri App

daanchuk — Sat, 13 May 2023 19:56:38 +0000

Start with a Tauri app boilerplate. You can use the following command to create one: npm create tauri-app@latest
Add a tray bar icon to your Tauri app:
- Open the tauri.conf.json file.
- Locate the "tauri" property.
- Inside it, add a "systemTray" object, as shown below:

   {
     "tauri": {
       "systemTray": {
         "iconPath": "icons/icon.png",
         "iconAsTemplate": true
       }
     }
   }

Ensure that you provide the correct path to your tray icon image file.

Configure Tauri to not display any window:
- In the same tauri.conf.json file, find the "build" property.
- Inside it, locate the "windows" property and set it to an empty array, like this:

   {
     "build": {
       "windows": []
     }
   }

By following these steps, you will be able to create a tray-only Tauri app with the specified tray bar icon and without any visible windows. Feel free to adjust the configuration based on your specific requirements.

Remember to run the necessary commands and build the app according to the Tauri documentation after making these changes.

Getting CORS Issues? You might be tempted to this issue, but it's actually the wrong way.

The correct way is to actually go to your appwrite console -> platforms -> add.

I just found this incredible piece of software called vdirsync where they have their own implementation for filesystem based carddav and caldav (contacts/calendar formats) that can, luckily, be read via another program khald.

Get relevant "sync urls" for each service, contacts (carddav), calendar (caldav)
