 1 | # macos-startup
 2 | 
 3 | Get list of macOS startup items.
 4 | 
 5 | Under macos, some software will automatically start after installation. The purpose of this software is to obtain the list of macos startup items.
 6 | 
 7 | If you want to disable auto-start, just rename the corresponding plist file to a non-plist suffix and restart your mac.
 8 | 
 9 | If you want to see which app a plist file corresponds to, you can use the cat command to see.
10 | 
11 | Some plist files may not be parsed correctly.
12 | 
13 | plist files that start with com.apple will be ignored.
