If you don’t yet have a copy of CleanMyMac X, you can get it here and have access to lots of cool features such as secure document deletion, duplicate file detection, the safe uninstaller, and plenty of other tools to help you manage your Mac system. In the list, simply check those applications/services you don’t need to autorun when your Mac starts up, then hit the “Remove” button (note: the removal function isn’t available in the trial version). Choose “Options”, and then you’ll see “Open at Login” with a small checkmark next to it if the application is set to automatically open. Then, right-click with your mouse or control + left-click if you’re using a trackpad or a Magic Mouse with two-button mode disabled.ĭepending on the app, you’ll have additional options when the small menu shows up, but all apps will show “Options”. First, open the application you want to prevent from automatically starting up (you can skip this step if the application is already kept in the dock). I’ll be using Microsoft Word to demonstrate, but the process is nearly identical for almost all apps. Is one particular app bothering you every time you log in? You can end the annoying behavior easily by changing the app’s settings. This will open a Finder window for you to choose the application you want, and it will be added to the list of apps in System Preferences.
Alternatively, if you accidentally remove an app that you want to continue opening at startup, you can choose the small plus button instead.
