Ollama Launch Agent Disabled Summary | Generated by AI

Home 2026.04

Here’s a review of what was done:

  1. Identified the service — launchctl list | grep -i ollama found com.ollama.ollama registered as a launch agent.

  2. Located the plist file — Searched standard locations (~/Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons). Found it bundled inside the app at /Applications/Ollama.app/Contents/Library/LaunchAgents/com.ollama.ollama.plist.

  3. Disabled the service — Two commands:
    • launchctl bootout — attempts to stop the running service (failed with I/O error because it wasn’t actively running, which is harmless)
    • launchctl disable — prevents it from auto-starting on future logins
  4. Verified — launchctl print-disabled confirmed com.ollama.ollama => disabled.

One thing noted: There’s also a homebrew.mxcl.ollama entry still marked as enabled. If you installed Ollama via Homebrew as well, that could also start it. Let me know if you want that disabled too.
