# Preventing Launch at Login

Turning off "Launch at login" in your [General preferences](/application-preferences/macos-preferences-general) should prevent Tuple from launching on log in. If you find that Tuple is continuing to launch, there may be something else on your machine launching the application.

#### On macOS:

Make sure that under *System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items*, Tuple doesn't exist in that list. Make sure that's true for all other users on that computer too (though only root users should make a difference, let's make very sure Tuple isn't getting started some place we don't expect!).

Check to see if Tuple is in the launchctl items. In terminal run:

```
launchctl list | grep -i tuple
```

You can then remove the Tuple launch item by running:

```
launchctl remove app.tuple.app-LaunchAtLoginHelper
```
