In the current version, Ollama automatically launches with Mac startup after the background activity is enabled in system settings, which is a little annoying. Could you please add the changes in the attached com.ollama.ollama.plist screenshot file to the official Ollama Mac Release? I changed "RunAtLoad" to "false" in the plist file, which allows users to configure Ollama's background activity and startup on macOS separately.

Relevant log output

Ollama version
