Delay-Start
Delay-Start is a macOS utility that allows users to schedule the automatic launching of applications with a customizable delay after system startup or login. It's useful for Mac owners who want to control which apps open at boot time and in what sequence, helping to reduce startup lag by spacing out application launches. This is particularly helpful on older Macs or systems with limited resources where simultaneous app launches can slow down the boot process. The app provides a simple way to manage startup behavior without requiring manual intervention each time.

1 suggestionUnfortunately, Delay-Start (version 1.1, bundle ID com.Cyberdyne.Delay-Start) does not appear to have a native Apple Silicon version available, and the app shows no signs of active development or updates from Cyberdyne. The search results returned no relevant information about this specific application, and there is no evidence of ongoing maintenance. Since this app appears to be abandoned and inactive, we recommend using **macOS's built-in Login Items & Extensions** (System Settings > General > Login Items) or the open-source alternative **LaunchControl**, which provides similar functionality for managing startup applications with greater flexibility and active community support. Both options are free or low-cost and will work reliably on Apple Silicon Macs going forward.
