I’ve been using Startup Folder, which allows me to automatically run any app, script, or shortcut by placing it in a special Startup folder. It has zero-resource impact and crash detection. However, I’m interested in finding some alternatives. I know there are over 10 alternatives to Startup Folder across various platforms like Windows, Mac, and Linux. I’ve heard that Autoruns is a great free option. If anyone has suggestions for other startup manager tools or system cleaners similar to Startup Folder, I’d love to hear them. Any help would be appreciated.
Autoruns is definitely the best choice for managing startup items. It shows you everything that runs at startup and lets you disable what you don’t need.
Startup Delayer is great if you want to manage the timing of your startup apps. You can choose how long to delay each one.
Autorun Organizer is another solid option. It provides a nice interface for managing startup programs and gives you insights on what’s necessary.
Winpatrol is also handy for monitoring startups and system changes. It has additional features like system cleaning.
HiBit Startup Manager is a good alternative too. It’s user-friendly and lets you manage startup applications effectively.
