Description
Add a visible app logo for easier identification on macOS
Problem
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 is sometimes difficult to immediately tell which app I am currently using.
The window itself often lacks a clear and persistent visual identity.
Suggestion
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 multiple AI desktop apps side by side or across different Spaces.

Research direction
The issue does not identify a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the macOS desktop interface and reviewing how the sidebar or main window is assembled; the work is done when a small, persistent app logo is visible and unobtrusive while switching between Spaces.
