macOS: Open Items Automatically at Login

You can have apps, documents, folders, or server connections open automatically whenever you log in to your Mac.

Add or remove automatic items:

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.

2. Select your user account, then click Login Items at the top of the window.

3. Do one of the following:

• Add a login item: Click the Add button below the list of items, select a document, folder, app, server, or other item, then click Add.
  
  
• Remove a login item: Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click the Remove button below the list.
  
  
• Hide a login item: If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select the Hide checkbox next to the item.

Note: Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.
