How can I help?

Quick fixes for the common snags. If yours isn’t here, email kartik@kartikkabadi.com with your macOS version and what you saw.

Lost your license key?

Enter the email you used at checkout and we’ll send your key again.

You can also find it in Whop › Orders after signing in with the same email.

Installing

How do I install LoginToggle?

Open Terminal (press ⌘ Space and type “Terminal”), paste this line, and press Return:

curl -fsSL https://logintoggle.kartikkabadi.com/install.sh | bash

It installs into ~/Applications and opens the app. Run the same line again any time to reinstall.

“LoginToggle can’t be opened” or “is damaged”

That happens when the app is downloaded through a browser instead of the installer. LoginToggle isn’t notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks browser downloads. Delete that copy and use the Terminal line above; it verifies the download and lets macOS open it.

I don’t see the power icon in my menu bar

If your menu bar is full, macOS hides icons behind the notch. Quit an app or two, or use a menu bar manager to reveal it. You can also open LoginToggle from ~/Applications; the window shows up even when the icon is hidden.

Activating

Where do I enter my key?

Click the power icon, then ··· › License, paste the key, and choose Activate. The welcome tour asks for it too. The Activate button in your welcome email does it in one click.

“This key is already active on another Mac”

One key works on one Mac. Got a new Mac, or reinstalled macOS? Email me from the address you bought with and I’ll move it.

“That key wasn’t recognized”

Copy the key again with the Copy button in your email. Keys look like K-XXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX. If it was refunded or charged back, it no longer activates.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After activating, LoginToggle renews its license in the background and keeps working for up to three weeks without a connection. Restore works no matter what.

Permissions

Why does it ask to control “System Events”?

macOS keeps the Open at Login list behind System Events. LoginToggle asks once so it can read and change that list. It doesn’t control anything else.

I clicked “Don’t Allow”. How do I fix it?

Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Automation, find LoginToggle, and turn on System Events. If LoginToggle isn’t listed, run this in Terminal, then open LoginToggle again and choose OK when macOS asks:

tccutil reset AppleEvents com.kartikkabadi.login-toggle

Using it

I turned something off, but it still opened

Changes apply at your next login. Apps already running keep running until you quit them. Some apps also re-add themselves at launch. Turn off “open at login” in that app’s own settings too.

Something didn’t come back after Restore

LoginToggle keeps the record of anything it couldn’t restore, so choose Restore again. If an app was moved or deleted since you turned it off, it can’t be re-added.

What about “Allow in the Background” items?

macOS has no public way for apps to switch those, so they stay in System Settings › General › Login Items.

Uninstalling

How do I remove LoginToggle completely?

Choose Restore first if you want your items back. Then quit LoginToggle and run:

rm -rf ~/Applications/LoginToggle.app ~/.local/state/login-toggle
