STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Kclock (I did from Flathub) 2. Start it and create a timer. 3. Close the app. OBSERVED RESULT 1. Launch ´top´ in konsole to see that ´kclock´, ´kclockd´ and related processes are still running in the background, but there would be no visual indicator about this, nor a way to terminate the application from the graphic interface. 2. Opening the program again will spawn duplicated processes instead of reusing those that are still alive. EXPECTED RESULT 1. The program should terminate cleanly without leaving any lingering background process. 2. There should be a configurable preference to keep it running in the background for tasks that may benefit from it, such as programmed alarms; optionally, this status should be indicated by an interactive icon in the system tray.

> Opening the program again will spawn duplicated processes instead of reusing those that are still alive. I don't experience this with the Flatpak, there should only be one instance of /app/bin/kclockd running (and a bwrap process which is done by Flatpak)? The graphical app (kclock) also isn't running for me when the program is closed. It should be possible to implement it so that the daemon is running only if alarms/timers are active.
Hi - are you able to try reproducing this on the current version? I tried the Flatpak and Fedora RPM and cannot reproduce the app process (kclock) staying open after being closed.
