Launch apps quietly at login
Only for Mac
USD 0.99
Mac
-Choose exactly which apps open at login, hide their windows automatically, and stagger heavy apps so your Mac feels fast the moment you sign in.
-No ads, No Subscription
HushLaunch gives you real control over what happens the moment you log in — without the clutter of a dozen windows fighting for your attention.
Pick the apps you want to start automatically, decide whether each one should open quietly in the background or come straight to the front, and add a short delay to anything heavy so your Mac stays responsive right after login.
WHY HUSHLAUNCH
macOS's built-in Login Items no longer let you start an app silently in the background — it either opens with its windows front and center, or you skip it entirely. HushLaunch brings that control back, using only Apple's public, sandbox-safe APIs. No Accessibility permissions, no hidden processes, nothing sketchy — just a clean way to manage your own startup routine.
KEY FEATURES
• Add any application with a native file picker, or just drag it into the window
• Hide a window on launch so the app starts in the background without stealing focus
• Delay any app's launch by up to 60 seconds to spread out login-time load
• Turn individual apps on or off without removing them from your list
• Test an app's current settings instantly with "Test Launch Now"
• Quick on/off toggles right from the menu bar — no need to open the main window
• Filter your list by All Applications, Active at Login, or Paused
• Get notified if an app you rely on can no longer be found or fails to start
• A guided first-run walkthrough gets you set up in under a minute
BUILT FOR macOS
HushLaunch is a modern, native SwiftUI app with a sidebar, toolbar, and inspector-style detail view that feels right at home on your Mac. It supports Light and Dark Mode, full keyboard shortcuts, window restoration, and closes completely when you close its window — it won't linger in your Dock or menu bar unless you want it to.
PRIVACY
HushLaunch only ever touches the applications you explicitly choose to add. It doesn't collect analytics, doesn't phone home, and doesn't need access to anything beyond the apps you pick with the file picker or drag in yourself.
If you've ever wished you could get back the old "open in background" checkbox for your login items, HushLaunch is built exactly for that.
