### Preflight Checklist

### Problem Statement
When using AI desktop apps from different providers on macOS, I often place each app in a different Space and switch between them throughout the day.
Many AI desktop apps now have very similar interfaces: a sidebar, conversation list, chat area, input box, etc. After switching Spaces, it can be difficult to immediately tell which app I am currently using.
Unlike the Dock or app switcher, the application window itself often lacks a clear and persistent visual identity.
### Proposed Solution
It would be helpful to display a small, recognizable app logo or icon somewhere in the main interface, such as in the sidebar header or another unobtrusive location.
The logo does not need to be prominent. A subtle, persistent visual identifier would be enough to make the app immediately recognizable when switching between macOS Spaces.
This would be especially useful for users who regularly work with AI desktop apps from different providers side by side or across different Spaces.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First confirm where the macOS desktop interface is implemented and how its main interface is structured; done means a small, persistent visual identifier is visible without being prominent when switching Spaces.
