Why is it not possible to download this app, whether from here or whether from the author's site? WTF?

Sometimes system login items "loses" items. This has made my life easier and controls the login arrangement of the menubar apps.

Works great and very handy! Love the fact that I can reorder the applications.

Didn't realize the delay times were successive (the delay for each app is the amount of time it delays after the last app launched). Discovered that after using it the first time. Pause button is handy too.

Can't really think of anything missing here. Good stuff!

Great app and developer quick to respond to questions... always a good sign.
I always feel bad asking for more features from free apps, but I really wish I could have different configurations/sets of apps to choose from when I start my computer... at work I might choose one combination of start up apps, while at home or on the road I might choose others.
Keep up the good work!

Great little tool for solving the annoyance of menubar icons getting juggled up on restart.

Thank you.

This seems nice, but I want more. Back in the days of Classic, there was a program that would delay the launch of any application for just a short time and give you the option of quitting before it launched. This was useful if you accidentally opened a program you didn't want. Does anyone know of any OS X equivalents of this program?

Not something that can choose whether you want to launch it or not but you can use a simple applescript to control when items start, giving them custom delays down to 0.1 of a second. Here it is:

delay 0.1
tell application "MUMenu"
launch
end tell


if something is launched that you want to delete you will have to delete it after it is open or if you want to keep it on the script and just block it out for a certain download startup just put "-- " space after the "--" and then compile... the item stays in the list and you can leave it there for a quick change if you want that item to start or you on next login. You can also, have multiple scripts, grab "tinkertool" so you can control your login items very easily... regular tinkertool, not the shareware tinkertool system. Tinkertool is a free app from Dr. Marcel Bresink... great dev.

Nice utility that I can use.

1) I'd suggest changing the "Configuration" screen's title to: "DelayedLauncher Configuration"
2) Needs an icon instead of generic App icon.
3) Please put a PAUSE button that can be pressed when setting up, when opened it wants to start launching everything.
3) Most importantly, it would be great if each item could have it's own specific delay set for it. As it is now I've got a LOT of apps all firing up at exactly the same time which delays my system bog-down from boot up to a little later. Alternatively, maybe an user incremental delay setting instead of specific delays by item. In other works, an incremental delay of 5 seconds, so item 1 fires at the overall delay setting, 1 min 5 sec item #2 launches, 1 min 10 sec item 3 fires off, etc.

Thanks!

excellent idea, i've been looking for something that does this for ages. i have about five apps i like to auto launch but having all five blast off the moment the desktop appears is nuts. a good future idea for dev, if possible, would be to be able to set a staggered sequence of launching each individually. this appears so far as i see it allows a single delay duration for all auto launched apps. good candidate for future donation-ware, thanks!
