Description
I went to Login Items and purposefully disabled Proxyman from background apps because I have only want it to run when I need it.
The problem is every few hours, Proxyman tries to re-add itself and I get notified. I don't know which process is doing that. None of my hundreds of other apps triggers this notification all the time.

Hi @huyz, the macOS uses the term "Login Items" is incorrect. It's a Helper Tool that Proxyman requires to override/revert the system HTTP Proxy when the app is launched or closed. It's also useful to gracefully revert the Proxy if the app is unexpectedly crashed.
The helper tool doesn't start in the Login time, it only needs when Proxyman is running.
If you want to get rid of the notification, You can uninstall the Helper Tool in Proxyman Menu -> Setting -> Advance Tab -> Uninstall Helper Tool.
@huyz commented on GitHub (Sep 6, 2023):
It sounds like a useful tool. So I don't want to uninstall it.
It's just that I want the option to only run the tool when Proxyman is launched. And then it can stay running in the background until the end of login session. Isn't that possible?
@NghiaTranUIT commented on GitHub (Sep 6, 2023):
It's a default behavior of the Helper Tool. When you enable it in the Setting, it works as you describe.
Proxyman Helper Tool does nothing if the main app is not running.
@huyz commented on GitHub (Sep 7, 2023):
I think there's some misunderstanding.
It does do something when the main app is not running: it's triggering a notification.
I rebooted, never started Proxyman, and yet I get notified as above.
No other app does this, even the ones that so desperately want to install a helper app, e.g. Microsoft Office Auto-update.
MS Office Auto-update will complain, but only when I launch a Microsoft app. If I block it from running in the background and never run a MS Office app, I never get a notification.
But with Proxyman, I do get a notification all the time
@NghiaTranUIT commented on GitHub (Sep 8, 2023):
It's odd. Let me investigate it 👍
@huyz commented on GitHub (Oct 2, 2023):
The issue is gone.
And now I see VMware doing the same thing to me.
So this is probably a macOS issue actually (similar to how macOS often loses Privacy/Accessibility settings all the time).
Feel free to close this issue.
@NghiaTranUIT commented on GitHub (Oct 3, 2023):
yes, properly a macOS issue and I'm not sure how to completely fix it from our end.
