Manage LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons that run at system startup.

Scan

Scans both user-level (~/Library/LaunchAgents) and system-level (/Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons) directories.

Categories

Category Description
My Services User-specific agents in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Third-party Non-Apple services in /Library
System Apple-signed or system services

Use the filter bar to show one category at a time or view all.

Actions

  • Load — enables a service for future logins
  • Unload — stops and disables a service (may request permissions via AppleScript)

When unloading, the app may prompt for admin permissions. This is handled through system-level authorization.

Configuration

Customize System Vendors in Settings (Features#Settings) to protect specific prefixes from accidental modification. Any service whose name starts with a vendor prefix is treated as a system service.

Apple Intelligence

Click the sparkle icon to get an AI-generated explanation of what any startup service does and whether it is safe to disable.
