I just discovered that the ability to hide the window of an app you’ve set to open automatically upon login was removed from macOS some time ago. Boo! Luckily, third-party developers come to the rescue! This app was an easy $1 spent as it restores that functionality and adds other advanced options.

A window titled “Autostarter” lists the application “Reeder” set to open and hide at login, with options like “Delayed Start” and “Aggressive Hide” available. Text advises managing login items in System Settings.
