## Building and the Console Window

By default, the binary created by `go build` will cause a console window to be opened on both Windows and macOS when run.

### Windows

To prevent launching a console window when running on Windows, add these command-line build flags:

```sh
go build -ldflags -H=windowsgui
```

### macOS

On macOS, you will need to create an application bundle to wrap the binary; simply folders with the following minimal structure and assets:

```
SystrayApp.app/
Contents/
Info.plist
MacOS/
go-executable
Resources/
SystrayApp.icns
```

Consult the [Official Apple Documentation here](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/BundleTypes/BundleTypes.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000123i-CH101-SW1).
