Autostart

The Stackie daemon can register itself to start automatically on login. Autostart is managed through the system tray “Launch at startup” toggle or programmatically via the autostart API.

No administrator or root privileges are required. On macOS this creates a LaunchAgent plist at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/, on Linux an XDG .desktop file at ~/.config/autostart/, and on Windows a Registry Run key.
