Enabling/Disable Automatic Startup on Boot for Speedify

This article explains how to enable or disable Speedify starting automatically when you boot your device.


Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android

Step 1

Open Speedify and tap the hamburger menu (☰) in the top-left corner to open the settings menu.

Step 2

Find and tap the Connect at Startup option and toggle it on.

When this setting is on, Speedify will automatically start and connect to a Speedify server each time you boot your device.


Linux

Step 1

Open Speedify and tap the hamburger menu (☰) in the top-left corner to open the settings menu.

Step 2

Find and tap the Connect at Startup option and toggle it on.

When this setting is on, Speedify will automatically start and connect to a Speedify server each time you boot your device. Note that this will not start the graphical user interface (GUI) automatically.

Step 3 (Optional - Auto-start the GUI)

If you also want the Speedify GUI to launch automatically on boot, you need to copy the autostart desktop file to your autostart configuration folder.

First, create the autostart directory by running this command in your terminal:

mkdir ~/.config/autostart

Then copy the desktop file into that directory:

cp /usr/share/speedifyui/speedifyui-autostart.desktop ~/.config/autostart/

After doing this, the Speedify GUI will not appear directly on screen at boot, but it will be running in the system tray and ready to use.
