pgadmin4 consists of two parts: a python server and a desktop browser window that's called the Desktop Runtime Standalone Application. This desktop browser is built on NW.js (formerly node-webkit). Apparently, as part of the MacOS integration, NW.js drops a widget in the Notifications panel of the System preferences. You can customize its behavior there.

Packaging NW.js applications for Mac OS X - Packt Subscription
In order to package an NW.js application for Mac OS X, proceed as follows: Create a copy of nwjs.app and rename it to ToDO.app. Right-click on the ToDO.app file and select Show Package Content. A finder window should open; open the Contents/Resources folder. Create a new folder, name it app.nw, and then copy all the content of your ToDO project into it (including the manifest file). If your project is large enough, you could consider to zip the content of the app.nw folder to an archive inside the Contents/Resources folder, delete the app.nw folder, and rename the archive to app.nw, but be aware that uncompressing its content at each run might slow down the application launch time.

Package and Distribute - NW.js Documentation
For Mac, name it app.nw and put it in nwjs.app/Contents/Resources/. ... At starting time, NW.js will unzip the package into temp folder and load it from there. So it will start slower if your package is big or contains too many files. On Windows and Linux, you can even hide the zip file by appending the zip file to the end of nw or nw.exe.

Work around for running on MacOS 64-bit / Catalina / 10.15 :: Major\Minor General Discussion
Some quick background: The game itself is compatible with newer MacOS, but the framework it runs in is not, so we can easily swap out the framework and make it work. It appears to be built with 'RPG Maker' which basically is a website that runs within NW.js (node-webkit) which is acting as a NodeJS web server and browser packaged together, with this info we can basically transplant the game into the updated framework to allow it to run.
