Okito Thesaurus does something quite similar to this. And it is
open-source. Check out:

Making a faceless background app is incredibly easy...just build your
app like normal and include a specific key in the dictionary. I can't
remember off the top of my head what it is...check the source.

I have been searching the archives, but have had great difficulty
locating information on making background applications in Cocoa.
I am writing an application to vend a service, and this service would be
used quite often during work. To avoid the overhead of launching an
application during work, I would like to have the application
constructed in two parts: A) the actual service provider, and b) the
super-app.
The service provider would do no work when it is in the background, so I
am quite comfortable in having it run from log-in. When the service is
requested, it would display an interface (a window only), and then go
back to invisibility. The super-app would be launched by the user to set
preferences and such, but by otherwise uninvolved. Is this possible:
To have a faceless app (no menu, no dock stuff, etc.) display an window,
and then go back to anonymity?
