Launch Standard Notes minimized to tray at Windows startup

[mozomoid]

Hi there,

Since Standard Notes still doesn't have a "Start minimized to tray" option, here's a script to have it done when you log into Windows.

Just copy and paste it into a text file and follow the instructions.

; AutoHotkey v2 script to launch Standard Notes minimized to tray at Windows startup

; ------------- INSTRUCTIONS -------------

; AutoHotkey v2 must be installed: https://github.com/AutoHotkey/AutoHotkey/releases

; Standard Note must be set to "Minimize To Tray On Close" in Menu Bar > Window (Alt + M)

; Save this script in a text file with the .ahk extension, for exemple: StandardNotes2Tray.ahk

; To run at session startup, put this file in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

; Make sure to adjust the path below to your own Standard Notes.exe location.

; ---------------- SCRIPT ----------------

; Path to Standard Notes executable – CHANGE THIS to your actual path
appPath := "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\@standardnotesinner-desktop\Standard Notes.exe"

; Hide the AutoHotkey tray icon while the script is running
#NoTrayIcon

; Launch Standard Notes
Run(appPath)

; Wait for the window labeled "Standard Notes" to appear
WinWait("Standard Notes", "", 30) ; wait up to 30 seconds

; If window exists, minimize it to tray
if WinExist("Standard Notes")
 {
     WinClose("Standard Notes")
 }

Raw version (adjust PATH):

#NoTrayIcon
Run("C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\@standardnotesinner-desktop\Standard Notes.exe")
WinWait("Standard Notes", "", 30)
if WinExist("Standard Notes")
 {
     WinClose("Standard Notes")
 }

Cheers!
