+### App Mode
+
+CodeV supports two window modes, configurable in Settings → App Mode:
+
+| | Normal App (default) | Menu Bar |
+|--|--|--|
+| **Dock** | Visible | Hidden |
+| **On blur** | Stays visible | Auto-hides |
+| **Window position** | Remembers last position, draggable | Centers on screen each time |
+| **On startup** | Shows window | Hidden until shortcut/tray click |
+| **`⌃+⌘+R`** | Toggle show/hide | Toggle show/hide |
+| **Click Dock icon** | Shows hidden window | N/A |
+| **Best for** | Dashboard / monitoring (keep in corner) | Quick access (spotlight-like) |
+
+**Real-time updates when unfocused (Normal mode):** Status dots, final assistant/user messages, and session order update via fs.watch — no need to re-focus. New sessions and full list refresh only occur on re-focus.
