I'm working on an app made in applescript. But I need it to run in the background using nothing but the script that the app is made of.

how?

much thanks to potential helpful answers!

Can you share what's in the script that you want it to run in background?

By "in the background" what do you mean? If you are talking about just not having an entry on the dock or a menubar, then it is easy, you just have to put the "LSUIElement" tag into the Info.plist file inside the application bundle with a value of True (bool).

If you are talking about something else, then you are going to need to be a lot clearer.
