Description

Brings back autostarting applications with hidden windows to macOS Ventura or Sonoma

Autostarter is a small app that makes it possible to launch applications automatically during login without letting the applications show windows, even with macOS Ventura or later. This feature, which Mac users loved, can now still be used, although it had been dropped with the introduction of macOS 13.

Autostarter can fully supersede the function "Login Items" for the launch of applications. The automatic start of other objects, for example server connections, can still remain in System Settings.

What’s New

Version 1.8

- Enhanced user guidance when users mistakenly try to add volumes or network connections as login items.
- Enhanced user guidance when users try to automatically hide applications which don't support windows by default.
- The user interface now differentiates more accurately between the behavior of macOS 13 and 14 when handling background items.
- Modernized organization of language support files.

It's the real deal for a buck

I sorely missed 'hiding' apps. This is the fix.

For me, settng "At Login time:" to " Show activity icon in upper right corner" was the only way to not get Launched Application notification notification that would then need to be closed. You'll see what I mean when you set the options.

Autostarter is a keeper!

When I upgraded to Ventura, I was shocked to discover Hide had been removed from Login Items.

Google quickly found a MacRumors Forum topic that introduced me to Autostarter, which I have launching 18 apps at login. I've set 5 to Hide, including 3 that ignored my Hide settings in earlier macOS releases. Highly recommended!

Does its job

Good little ap that does its job. Would appreciate some more options lile deactivate/reactivate a rule or select the time we want an app to be launched. I don't need all my apps to try to launch at the same time
