# How do I autostart my favorite apps?
Using the window rules to assign apps to workspace you can setup a session start
script to open a bunch of applications on various workspaces. The following
method will start these apps silently (i.e. without the flickering from
workspace to workspace) and deassign the rule so that subsequent start of this
app will not start it on the initially assigned workspace (which could be a drag
if e.g. you want kitty to be started on ws 1 while you need kitty to open on any
workspace subsequently).
Using the window rules to assign apps to workspace you can open a bunch of
applications on various workspaces. The following method will start these apps
silently (i.e. without the flickering from workspace to workspace).
Put the following in your `hyprland.conf`: (example)
```ini
windowrule=workspace 1 silent,kitty
windowrule=workspace 1 silent,Subl
windowrule=workspace 3 silent,Mailspring
windowrule=workspace 4 silent,firefox
[...]
exec-once=kitty
exec-once=subl
exec-once=mailspring
exec-once=firefox
[...]
exec-once=cleanup_after_start.sh
exec-once=[workspace 1 silent] kitty
exec-once=[workspace 1 silent] subl
exec-once=[workspace 3 silent] mailspring
exec-once=[workspace 4 silent] firefox
```
where `cleanup_after_start.sh` script contains:
```bash
sleep 10
hyprctl keyword windowrule "workspace unset,kitty"
hyprctl keyword windowrule "workspace unset,Subl"
hyprctl keyword windowrule "workspace unset,Mailspring"
hyprctl keyword windowrule "workspace unset,firefox"
```
in `sleep 10`, the 10 seconds is of course only a suggestion.

if you want workspaces to automatically go to a monitor upon connection, use the
