Additional Context

I've tried this approach but it just make Loop.app settings window open every time i use loop shortcuts:

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.loop.keepalive.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
   <key>Label</key>
   <string>com.loop.keepalive</string>
   <key>ProgramArguments</key>
   <array>
       <string>/Applications/Loop.app/Contents/MacOS/Loop</string>
   </array>
   <key>KeepAlive</key>
   <dict>
       <key>PathState</key>
       <dict>
           <key>/Applications/Loop.app</key>
           <true/>
       </dict>
   </dict>
   <key>RunAtLoad</key>
   <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Load the launch agent using launchctl:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.loop.keepalive.plist

I don't know how it works for rectangle, the app is actually opened, but hidden in the dock/bottom-bar

Loop currently does work even if the settings window is closed (like Rectangle, Loop has a menubar icon). Just making sure that you've enabled accessibility permits for Loop?

@MrKai77 I'm sorry, for taking you time, I reinstalled loop and did everything again, and now it works on the background. Don't know, mb i've missed something previous time. Thank you and sorry!

So - I had the same issue and couldn't get it resolved. Clicked the check for updates button to see if I missed anything, and still nothing.

Then I uninstalled, restarted, installed, and now it works without an dock icon.
