Startup Manager Pro for Mac

In macOS we can use System Settings → General → Login Items to add items we want to launch when we login to our computer.

Unfortunately, since version 13, it is no longer possible to hide those processes when they are started.

For power users 😁 with many login items Startup Manager Pro is the solution.

Features

• Add/drag applications, urls, smb volumes, documents onto the list to open/run when you login
