When closing the app using the close button (red traffic light) on macOS, the next launch should restore instantly without showing a loading screen, similar to Linear, Calendar App, or ChatGPT App…

Hi @hahahumble, thanks for your suggestion.
You’ve actually just shared something pretty beautiful. The Supernotes app is completely quitting every time and cold booting within less than a second 
. Something that we’ve worked really hard to do. Whereas your Linear example is running the background still and not actually quitting its processes.
We preferred this as we’ve been able to optimise Supernotes so much that we don’t need to rely on it running on the background, as the cold start time is almost the same (minus the quick SN loading logo).
We can modify the close button or CMD + W so that it only hides the app, not actually quits it. But then you’ll have to quit Supernotes manually using the navigation bar, the dock icon or CMD + Q. If anyone else would prefer this please like this post and we’ll see what we can do.
Yes, cold booting speed is much faster than before!
Some applications allow users to choose the behavior of the close button. Maybe Supernotes can reference that - personally, I prefer just hiding the app.
