Stop automatically adding FigmaAgent to Login Items

This is just infuriating. If I remove the login item (which apple allows you to do in user preferences), Figma should honor that request, even on subsequent updates. It’s not that hard or complicated. Doing this wouldn’t change the default behavior at all for users who want the login item, and it would drastically improve the experience for users who don’t.

Solution for Figma devs (we appreciate your btw):

figmaMain() {
   if (FigmaAgent.state === "stopped") {
          FigmaAgent.start()
   }
   ...
}

Incredibly inconvenient, especially for an app that’s all about UX. I’ll probably uninstall the desktop app and just use the browser if this is not fixed.

I’ve just started using Mac and why is there no disable setting for this? I’m moving back to my windows laptop whenever I need to use Figma

It’s been over a year but still Figma didn’t fix this issue. How hard it’s to fix it? Feels like Figma doesn’t care about customer’s comments, rather to make engineer’s life easier based on customer’s disappointment.

how is this still a thing?? No app should be making changes on my computer without my consent.

Another one here. Just updated Figma and just added again. Removed by hand, next time I receive the FigmaAgent added to your login items, Figma will be uninstalled

@dvaliao Any news from the team about ‘stop’ requested feature? :face_with_peeking_eye:

Absolutely f*cking incredible.

Figma will be the reason why there will have to be more continuous popups in macOS of apps running and adding themselves to the background. I’m surprised Apple didn’t do it with the “Open at Login” functionality with Sequoia.

Please stop abusing this feature, you’re going to make restrictions for other apps and services that respect users’ choices.

It’s not hard to implement a setting in Figma’s settings to ask whether or not a user wants Figma to open at Login.

It’s very annoying, please make it optional! Thank you!

The app is not free , there are subscriptions . So why would you allow Figma to use your data and resources … haha . Im also against running any agents on my machine especially when im not actually using the app. Why don’t u just run it when the Figma app is running and stop when it is closed ?? …there should be a good reason too, to have that agent running , for sure , as most corporate companies are using Figma this days and designers are working on corporate laptops provided by the company , so they don’t give a shit about agents i guess … just using the latest laptops only for design purposes .

P.S
it would be a good sign of care for non corporate users to just put a simple option not to run the agent if the app is not in use :wink:

With kind regards to the team I’m still will be paying subscription as half of my projects are in Figma.
