HA will open on my Mac (MacOS 12.3) without any action on my part. I have Run on Startup unchecked. If I click on the HA icon in the menu bar, nothing happens. I am not using Habu Casa so I have no remote access. How can I keep it from opening?

I am having this too. It’s just started. Must have been due to a recent update to the app. Not sure when it launches but it’s not running when I stop work in the evening and is there when I wake my Mac from sleep in the morning.
And it stopped without any change on my end
Had this happening since I installed it on the Mac. So for about 3 or 4 months now. It’s pretty annoying and I cannot find a way to stop it. Starting on boot is disabled.

I can second this. It makes the app unusable as it also happens during fullscreen presentations, hijacking the current screen.
Fresh Mac Book Air M2, clean install, all up to date. First install of a freshly setup HASS on a Raspi. Everything works fine except for Home Assistant for Mac is launching randomly like every one or two hours or so.
This happens when I’m at home and even when I’m outside of my local network (not connected).
The auto launch option is deactivated, no launch scripts. Quit app via menu. Launching itself after some minutes or hours.
I can check the console for logs, but afaics there’s no link to file a bug report for HASS Mac.
I like and appreciate the Mac app, but this is a complete showstopper.

Yep, add me to the list on this. Really annoying especially when I’m not on my HASS network and it can’t even access it.

Happening on my 2020 MBA as well (Intel i5). Anyone figure this out yet?
This issue recently started occurring again for me. Have filed a bug: Home Assistant macOS randomly opens on its own · Issue #2394 · home-assistant/iOS · GitHub
Same issue. Anyone resolve it apart from uninstalling the app?
Still happening. 
Focus setting seems to help
Is there a solution for this issue? It occurs on my M1 MBP and Intel iMac.
