Startupizer - powerful login items handler!
Easy items management
Startupizer is advanced yet simple to use login items handler. It greatly enhanches System Preferences login items by offering conditional startup based on several criteria. This can dramatically reduce required startup time and hence make you more productive!
Startupizer's items list presents nicely packed information about an item, including larger icon for easier identification. You can change items execution order by simply dragging them around. You can add new items by importing from System Preferences, dragging from Finder or using new item button on the form.
Powerful startup conditions
The true power of Startupizer lies in startup conditions. Think of them as tags you can assign to items, although they are much more powerful! Each startup condition acts as a filter that prevents execution of the item it's assigned to based on condition's rules. You can assign multiple startup conditions to each item and have it executed only if all of them allow. You can create as many startup conditions as you like and configure each to your needs.
Customizable execution
Startupizer gives you many options to customize execution to your liking. Besides executing items when you start your computer, you can also have it execute after you awake the computer from sleep. You can optionally delay the whole execution or insert delays just between individual items.
Seamless integration
Startupizer does it best to stay quiet in the background as much as possible, so you can keep focus on your work. It monitors changes in login items list in your account preferences and uses adaptive logic to respond automatically as much as possible. But no matter what, it won't interfere with the system - if it encounters unknown items it gently notifies you. Until you decide what to do with these, they are kept safely in System Preferences.

What users are saying
The first thing I did after installing Startupizer was to divide my menu items into two groups: The ones that I always wanted to have loaded, and a second group that will only load if/when I hold down the option key. Very cool. So far, it works as advertised, and it's helping me to keep my menu bar clutter down to a dull roar.
I bought this $8 App and a free App called "Delayed Launcher". I found out that the GUI on this App is far superior to the free one!
Fast, clean and simple this does everything I wanted plus more. Now I can quickly boot to desktop and have my core applications start asap one at a time making sure each that each is ran in sequence instead of all-at-once.
