Mac Startup Manager

Disable startup apps to speed up Mac boot

Mac Startup Manager

Overview

Does your Mac take forever to become usable after login? The culprit is usually too many apps launching automatically at startup. Each app that opens at login competes for resources, slowing down your boot time and making your Mac sluggish for the first few minutes.

DiskCleanKit's Startup Manager gives you complete visibility and control over what launches when you log in. See every startup item, understand what each one does, and easily disable apps you don't need starting automatically.

The result? A faster boot time, a more responsive Mac right from login, and better overall performance since you're not running apps you don't need.

Key Benefits

Complete Visibility

See all apps and services configured to launch at startup in one place.

Easy Toggle

Enable or disable startup items with a single click - no digging through System Preferences.

Faster Boot Time

Disabling unnecessary startup items can dramatically reduce time to a usable desktop.

Resource Savings

Fewer background apps means more RAM and CPU available for apps you actually use.

Item Details

See what each startup item does and whether it's safe to disable.

Reversible Changes

Easily re-enable any startup item if you change your mind.

Pro Tips

💡

Keep essential items like cloud sync (Dropbox, iCloud) enabled if you rely on them daily.

💡

Disable helper apps that you can open manually when needed, like Spotify or Slack.

💡

If unsure about an item, try disabling it - you can always re-enable if something breaks.

💡

Regularly review startup items as new apps often add themselves without asking.
