✨ Menu Bar application

Feature Request Description

As I'm still currently tweaking settings in the app and trying new methods, I've been running into a problem where when I close the app with cmd+w or cmd+q, it entirely stops working, unlike a lot of similar "mod" apps, like raycast, USB Overdrive, etc.

I think it would be smart to add an option to — instead of keeping it in the dock, which causes closing the app to stop it's functionality — make it stay in the menu bar. It's icon could stay in the dock (to show off the beautiful fan icons), but it would always stay open in the menu bar.

You're either not getting the full feature or encountering a bug. Here's how it works: Loop will, if toggled to remove the app icon, still run in the background if you close the application with the red button or Cmd+W. Cmd+Q will always QUIT Loop, no matter what, which will kill its full functionality. It's much easier for some than using kill process or whatnot. We still have the option of a menu bar toggle; I have it disabled myself as I know it can function without it. At least I can find it on my current version, but there was one where you had like three options.

I flipped each of those toggles a few times and it seems to be working in the menu bar now. Cmd+Q was doing the same behavior as Cmd+W before, that's why i mentioned it. There still seems to be a problem that Loop doesn't close with Cmd+W, as when i go into stage manager or mission control two windows still show as open. I'll turn this into a bug report then.
