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
它做什麼
- 列出你自己的 LaunchAgents 檔案夾和 /Library 中的啟動代理與常駐程式，以及每一項由誰簽名、為什麼會啟動。
- 顯示每個項目在你上次登入五分鐘後的記憶體，或者在它觀察到一次之前，顯示標有「~」的典型大小。
- 只有當某項的程式已不存在，或者你在最近 10 次登入中最多只用過該 App 1 次時，才建議關閉它。它要觀察滿 10 次登入才會給出建議。
- 切換之後，測量你的下一次登入並寫出回執。
What it will not do
- 刪除任何東西。關閉某個項目是給它的檔案改名，讓它在你下次登入時不再啟動。重新開啟時會把名字改回來。
- 列出或觸碰 Apple 自己的項目。
- 建議關閉僅在背景執行的 App、備份 App 或同步 App，或者它從未見過執行的 App。
- 停止此刻正在執行的東西。它只會讓它下次不再啟動。
- 在沒有先讓你用復選框逐項確認的情況下，批量關閉。
Limits
- Hedroom 會切換你自己的 LaunchAgents 檔案夾中的項目。對於 /Library/LaunchAgents 中的項目，它會開啟「系統設定」中的「登入項目」。/Library/LaunchDaemons 中的項目會被列出，但目前還不能切換。
- 在「系統設定」›「登入項目」中自行加入的 App，沒有管理員權限就無法列出。這些請使用「登入項目」。
- 在觀察到足夠多的登入之前，它會說明自己仍在學習，並且不給出任何建議。
免費還是 Pro
清單是免費的。關閉或開啟某一項屬於 Pro。
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.
