Minimize to Tray
CyberSnap can minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar:
- Minimize to tray — Clicking minimize sends to tray
- Close to tray — Clicking close sends to tray (app keeps running)
- Show tray icon — Always show/hide tray icon
Starting with Windows
CyberSnap can automatically launch when you sign in to Windows:
- Go to Settings → General
- Enable Start with Windows
- CyberSnap adds itself to Windows startup
This creates a startup entry in the Windows Registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run).
Exiting CyberSnap
To fully close CyberSnap:
- Right-click tray icon → Exit
- Or: Settings → General → Exit
⚠️ Closing CyberSnap disables all hotkeys, the capture widget, and auto-capture features. Use "Close to tray" to keep the app running.
