Autostart

Local.ts can launch automatically when users log into their computer using the Tauri autostart plugin.

This is useful for apps that should always be running, like status monitors, chat clients, or sync tools.

How It Works

The autostart feature uses platform-specific mechanisms:

The Tauri autostart plugin handles all platform differences automatically.

Enabling Autostart

From your React code:

import { enable, disable, isEnabled } from "@tauri-apps/plugin-autostart";

// Enable autostart
await enable();

// Disable autostart
await disable();

// Check if enabled
const enabled = await isEnabled();

Settings Integration

Local.ts includes a "Launch at Login" toggle in Settings. The simplified implementation is the following:

const handleAutostartChange = async (enabled: boolean) => {
  if (enabled) {
    await enable();
  } else {
    await disable();
  }
  await updateSettings({ launchAtLogin: enabled });
};

Removing Autostart

If you don't need autostart functionality:

1. Remove the plugin from src-tauri/src/lib.rs:

   - app.handle().plugin(tauri_plugin_autostart::init(
   -     tauri_plugin_autostart::MacosLauncher::LaunchAgent,
   -     None,
   - ))?;

2. Remove the dependency from src-tauri/Cargo.toml:

   - [target.'cfg(any(target_os = "macos", target_os = "windows", target_os = "linux"))'.dependencies]
   - tauri-plugin-autostart = "2"

3. Remove permissions from src-tauri/capabilities/default.json:

   - "autostart:allow-enable",
   - "autostart:allow-disable",
   - "autostart:allow-is-enabled"

4. Remove the npm package:

   pnpm remove @tauri-apps/plugin-autostart

5. Remove the setting from the Settings page and database models.
