OSX Today extension without application

I do not understand if a containing application is required along with Today Extension for OSX. I have a very simple and simple widget, it is not needed and does not rely on the main or containing application. With that said, how can I create a Today Extension without a containing application.

What I still have is that I have an empty application with today's extension.

You cannot create today's extension without an application. They do not work. All extensions for iOS applications are only extensions for the application. There must be an application, and it must do something that needs to be accepted in the application store (Apple rejects applications for "minimal functionality"). Extensions cannot exist on iOS outside the application suite until Apple decides to make a difference in the future.

A container application is not required. Read the Apple documentation on it. It says:

To provide an OS X app extension, we recommend that you submit your app to the App Store, but it is not required.
