The problem
Every app you install gets a chance to start itself when you log in, and many take it: updaters, sync helpers, menu bar extras, agents for apps you removed years ago. They add up to a slower login and memory held all day, and the list is spread across System Settings and folders you never open.
You cannot tell from the names which ones you use. Hedroom lists them with who made them and why they start, shows what each costs in memory, and suggests turning off only the ones its own data says you do not use.
How it works
- List. Hedroom reads the launch agents and daemons in your own LaunchAgents folder and in /Library, with no admin password. Apple's own items are not listed.
- Explain. Each row shows who signed it, why it starts (it opens itself, it is an updater, it stays running), and its memory five minutes after your last login. Until it has watched a login, the size is a typical one marked "~".
- Suggest, narrowly. An item is suggested only if its program is gone, or you used the app in at most 1 of your last 10 logins. Hedroom suggests nothing until it has watched 10 logins.
- Switch off, reversibly. Turning an item off renames its file so it does not start at your next login. Turning it on puts the name back. Nothing is deleted, and an app that is running is left running.
- Measure. At your next login Hedroom reads the same apps five minutes in and writes a receipt. It claims a drop only if every earlier login was clearly higher.
What you will see
The Startup items screen reads "Starts with your Mac", with the number of items. Each row has a letter tile, the name, a tag when one applies (Suggested off, App removed, Unknown signer), "Signed by X · reason", its memory cost and a switch. Items in /Library/LaunchAgents show an Open Login Items button instead of a switch. Items in /Library/LaunchDaemons are listed but cannot be switched yet. Until Hedroom has watched enough logins, the screen says it is still learning and suggests nothing.
"Turn off the suggestions" opens a sheet that lists every item with its own checkbox. Nothing changes until you confirm.
A worked example
Example, not real data
A helper for an app you removed
Say the list shows a launch agent tagged App removed: its program no longer exists, so it starts nothing, but its file still sits in your LaunchAgents folder. Hedroom suggests turning it off.
You switch it off. The file is renamed, not deleted, and one click turns it back on. Because nothing was running from it, the receipt at your next login says so: no data, no effect. Removing a dead entry tidies the list. It does not make your Mac faster, and Hedroom does not pretend it does.
Details and limits
하는 일
- 사용자의 LaunchAgents 폴더와 /Library에 있는 실행 에이전트와 데몬을 나열하고, 각각의 서명자와 시작되는 이유를 보여 줍니다.
- 각 항목의 메모리는 마지막 로그인 5분 후의 값을 보여 줍니다. 아직 관찰하기 전에는 "~" 표시를 붙인 일반적인 크기를 보여 줍니다.
- 항목을 끄도록 제안하는 것은 해당 프로그램이 없어졌거나, 최근 로그인 10회 중 그 앱을 쓴 것이 많아야 1회인 경우뿐입니다. 로그인 10회를 관찰하기 전에는 제안하지 않습니다.
- 전환한 뒤 다음 로그인을 측정하고 영수증을 만듭니다.
What it will not do
- 무언가를 삭제하는 일. 항목을 끄면 다음 로그인 때 시작되지 않도록 해당 파일의 이름을 바꿉니다. 켜면 이름이 원래대로 돌아옵니다.
- Apple 자체 항목을 나열하거나 건드리는 일.
- 백그라운드 전용 앱, 백업 앱, 동기화 앱, 실행된 적이 없는 앱을 제안하는 일.
- 지금 실행 중인 것을 멈추는 일. 다음부터 시작되지 않게 할 뿐입니다.
- 각 항목을 체크 상자와 함께 먼저 보여 주지 않고 한꺼번에 끄는 일.
Limits
- Hedroom이 전환하는 것은 사용자의 LaunchAgents 폴더에 있는 항목입니다. /Library/LaunchAgents에 있는 항목은 시스템 설정의 로그인 항목을 엽니다. /Library/LaunchDaemons에 있는 항목은 나열되지만 아직 전환할 수 없습니다.
- 시스템 설정 › 로그인 항목에 스스로 추가되는 앱은 관리자 권한이 없으면 나열할 수 없습니다. 그런 앱은 로그인 항목에서 관리하세요.
- 충분한 횟수의 로그인을 관찰하기 전에는 아직 학습 중이라고 표시하고 아무것도 제안하지 않습니다.
무료 또는 Pro
목록은 무료입니다. 항목을 켜고 끄는 것은 Pro 기능입니다.
The reason: seeing the list changes nothing, while a switch changes what starts on your Mac.
Questions people ask
Does turning an item off delete it?
No. Hedroom renames the file so it does not start, and turning it on puts the name back. If you uninstall Hedroom, the renamed files stay where they are, and the uninstall dialog lists them by name with how to turn them back on.
Could turning something off break an app?
An app can lose a helper that starts at login, such as an updater or sync agent, until you turn it back on. That is why Hedroom never suggests background-only apps, backup apps, sync apps or apps it has never seen run, and why you can simply leave anything you are unsure about switched on.
Why is an item I know about missing?
Apple's own items are hidden. Apps that added themselves in System Settings › Login Items cannot be listed without admin rights, so the screen links you to Login Items for those.
How does it know which apps I use?
It notes, on this Mac, which apps were in front during the first hour of each login. That history stays in Hedroom's local database.
