I am using windows desktop app, can you add option to launch the app as minimised to system tray on windows startup?

At the moment, i have to launch the app manually each time i restart windows.

@evren55 Currently, we don’t have a built-in option to launch the app minimized to the system tray on Windows startup. That said, this is a useful suggestion—I’ve shared your feedback with our product team for consideration.

Workaround (using Windows Task Scheduler)

In the meantime, you can automate launching the app on startup using Task Scheduler. Here’s a simple way to set it up:

  1. Open Start Menu → search for Task Scheduler

  2. Click Create Task (on the right panel)

  3. Under the General tab:

    • Give it a name (e.g., Distill Startup)

  4. Go to the Triggers tab:

    • Click New

    • Select “At startup”

    • Click OK

  5. Go to the Actions tab:

    • Click New

    • Action: Start a program

    • Browse -
      C:/Users/your-username/AppData/Local/distill_web_monitor/app-4.1.0-beta/
      (“your-username” will be your actual Windows username)

      and select the Distill app executable -
      distill-web-monitor.exe (lowercase name)

    • Click OK

  6. Click OK to save

Now the app will automatically launch whenever your computer starts.
