Update display name of "SUNSTORY LLC" in System Settings › Login Items & Extensions

Might be worth giving "SUNSTORY LLC" a more recognizable display name in System Settings › Login Items & Extensions. I suggest OpenUsage so folks can clearly connect it to the app on their Mac and align it with your trademark policy.

I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what it was. The only thing I found at first was a random LLC registered in Florida. I ended up searching hidden files for "sunstory" before I finally found com.sunstory.openusage and made the connection.

Thanks, good point and never noticed. SUNSTORY is indeed the company of my wife and I, that the Apple Developer account is registered to. This doesn't seem to be straight forward, but we'll try something and see if it fixes that!

Great, thanks for looking into it! And sorry if I came off a bit harsh, it was just a frustrating moment…and I was also thrown off that neither LLC name matched yours.

Hopefully it'll be an easy fix. 🤞

No worries, appreciate it!

Thanks for raising this. I dug into it and I think this is fixable (or at least improvable) on the macOS autostart side, not by changing productName alone.

OpenUsage uses Tauri's autostart plugin on macOS, which creates a legacy LaunchAgent plist. That plist currently looks very minimal and does not include Apple's AssociatedBundleIdentifiers key. Apple's launchd.plist docs mention that key specifically for how items are associated in System Settings > Login Items.

So the likely fix is to add AssociatedBundleIdentifiers = com.sunstory.openusage to the generated LaunchAgent plist (probably upstream in auto-launch / tauri-plugin-autostart, or as a local workaround in OpenUsage).

I can't promise macOS will never show the legal entity name in every UI surface, but this looks like the right path to improve what shows up in Login Items.
