LaunchControl

LaunchControl is a super handy app for Mac that makes managing your processes, apps, agents, and daemons a breeze. It’s built on the launchd service management framework, which helps you start, stop, and keep track of what’s running on your Apple computer.

Easy to Use Interface

When you open LaunchControl, it gets right to work by scanning your system. It finds all the user, system, or global agents and daemons for you. Everything is neatly sorted by category, so you can pick what you want from a drop-down menu. Just a heads up—you might need to enter your admin password to access some features.

Organized Main Window

The main window of LaunchControl is set up really well. On the left side panel, you'll see a list of running services. The right side panel shows you the app’s collection of keys that can be added to documents. In the middle section, you can check out the configuration key content visually.

Edit and Manage Configuration Keys

One of the cool things about LaunchControl is that it lets you see what's inside those launchd configuration keys. You can even edit them if needed! The app supports most launchd functions and gives you an expert mode for those who want more control.

Troubleshooting Made Simple

If something isn't working right with a key, no worries! You can easily disable that service or remove it altogether. Just keep in mind that while LaunchControl doesn’t instantly stop processes, it will take them off your jobs list next time you start up your system.

Quick Identification of Issues

This app makes it simple to spot any launchd configuration keys that are acting up. You have options: edit them, disable them, or delete them if necessary. Plus, there are over 30 different configuration keys ready for you to drag and drop into your services!
