## What it is
A Swift Package that adds 'Launch at Login' functionality to macOS apps with a simple API and SwiftUI toggle component. It supports macOS 10.13+ using SMLoginItemSetEnabled on older systems and SMAppService on macOS 13+, working with both sandboxed and App Store apps.

## Use cases
- add launch at login to my mac app
- make my app start automatically on login
- swiftui toggle for launch at login
- app store compatible login item for sandboxed mac app
- backwards compatible launch on startup for macOS 10.13

## When to choose
- your macOS app targets versions older than macOS 13
- you want a simple, App Store-compatible launch-at-login implementation
- you want a ready-made SwiftUI toggle for the setting

## When to avoid
- your app targets macOS 13 or later (use LaunchAtLogin-Modern instead)
- you need launch-at-login on non-macOS platforms
