Hi, @jjm2473. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You requested a feature for ComfyUI Desktop on macOS to start with the window hidden by default.
The goal is to allow the app to run solely as a web server without showing the UI initially.
You suggested adding a "hide on startup" option in the app's preferences.
This is considered a medium-impact, nice-to-have enhancement.
There has been no further activity or comments on this issue.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if this feature request is still relevant to the latest version of ComfyUI Desktop by commenting on this issue.
If I do not hear back within 7 days, this issue will be automatically closed.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!

For future tracking of anyone coming across this issue:

The desktop app is unfortunately not designed to be used as a web server. Whilst you can definitely do this at the moment, it is not something we support and may simply stop working in future versions.

The good news is, ComfyUI doesn't need the desktop app to run as a web server. The core ComfyUI python server is already a web server:
