Alarms in gnome clocks doesn`t start unless the application was previously launched

Support Software & Applications
1

If i launch the application and then close it, it seems to still be running in the background (i don`t know the technical term) so alarms or the stopwatch remain active.
So, when i boot, i want gnome clocks to automatically start running in the background, how can i do that?

PS: Using gnome tweaks startup applications isn`t the ideal solution because i don’t want to launch the gui

We plan for 3.38 to offer a real solution that runs in the background from startup

Thanks for the reply! I hope you didn’t had to spend too much time on it, it never occurred to me to search for the git page
