Ask ChatGPT how to do this. It isn't a function of Ollama to start itself, the OS is responsible to start apps and processes when booting. ChatGPT knows of 2 ways

If you use the official Ollama Mac App installed via https://ollama.com/download/Ollama.dmg it will automatically start Ollama upon login.

If you want more control, we publish an ollama-darwin.tgz file in every release on github https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases which contains the underlying binaries and omits the desktop app. You can set up your own system service using launchd to run an ollama serve with your preferred environment variables to configure the service.
