Stop Descript from adding itself to "login items"
Lee Bennett
Found the answer at last. STUPID that it's so buried. It's actually not in the app preferences. While running the app, go instead to the app icon in the macOS menu bar (not the dock). Sorry I'm not sure the Windows equivalent. System tray perhaps? Select Settings from that menu which avails different adjustments than the app's preferences window. Once you're in that menu, scroll all the way to the bottom and turn off Launch at login (I also turned off Run in background). Then remove Descript from your Login items one last time and you should be good.

Lee Bennett TYSM! This has been driving me nuts!!

Seconded. Please stop automatically adding Descript to open at system login
every time I open Descript
. That's intrusive and unprofessional.David Wilkinson
This is really... no.... REALLY annoying. There is no reason for Descript to autostart on login. Please remove this ASAP. It's driving me nuts.

The program now adds itself to my startup items on my Mac everytime the app is opened. I have to manually delete it from startup items every time. Please give us the ability to opt out of this. There is no reason for this program to be auto-started on this computer whenever I turn it on. It's invasive and a reason I am no looking for alternatives.

Disable the feature that adds Descript to Mac OS login items every time it starts. Let users decide whether they want Descript to launch on startup, for christ's sake.

I, too, hate this. If I find out about a competitive product that DOESN'T do this, I'll probably cancel my subscription, and switch.

I've disabled this every time I start the app. Please add a user setting to disable this behavior as I don't want your app to start whenever I boot/reboot my Mac.

Each time I open the application, Descript is automatically added to my computer system to open at log in, can this please be removed.

I deeply despise that Descript keeps adding itself to Login items on my Mac without asking or permission. It's gross and is contributing to stability issues with my laptop. I hate that I have to remove it again every time I use Descript. I hate this and it's moving me toward cancelling my subscription.
