Testing

besides the video below showing the core functionality, i've also tested:

  1. closing the settings window, which quits Handy completly if the tray icon is hidden
  2. if start hidden is true and show tray icon is false, launching the app from spotlight opens the settings window

⚠️ i've not tested this on a windows or linux machine
