Manage your startup apps with ease.

Open the apps and pages you need, when you need them. Set weekly launches, delay an app until after sign-in, and add conditions without working through Windows Task Scheduler yourself.

Feature examples:

Open your weekly planning page every Monday at 9 am.
Start an app five minutes after you sign in. Delay your less important apps, so more important ones can use your full system resources and start faster.
Limit a rule to a weekly window, such as Tuesday 9 am through Saturday 5 pm. Set your work chats to only open during work hours.
Require another app to be running first. For example, open your project notes only when your code editor is running.
Keep a launch pending until it succeeds, with optional expiry.

Practical controls

Create rules for executables, shortcuts and URLs. Duplicate and reorder your list, test a target with Run now, and see each rule’s next trigger and recorded status on one line. Light and dark modes are included. Rules use Windows Task Scheduler and can run while the manager is closed. They launch in your signed-in desktop session. List order is for organisation; it does not guarantee execution order.

Pricing

The program will be offered at a lower price (starting with the low low price of free!).
The price will increase as features are added and stability is confirmed.
You may choose to pay more to support My work by editing the price field before adding it to your cart.

Every purchase includes all future updates released for Smart Start Scheduler at no additional cost(this includes purchases while the program is free). Later price increases apply to new customers; existing customers do not need to buy again.

The app has been tested on windows 11, but should theortetically work on windows 10 too. English is currently the only supplied UI language. Other startup apps are managed through Windows Startup settings.

Uninstallation

You can simply delete the app and it’s files/folder. However it is reccomended to use the apps uninstall system found in the settings tab, as it will undo any windows scheduling tasks handled by the app.
