This still works well with MAMP 2.1.3 in OSX 10.8. Thank you Damian!

I’ve been using this app for years and it has been awesome. So excited to come here & find there’s been an update adding even more functionality. Thanks Damian, no doubt legions of Mac devs are forever in your debt!

Hi there,

There is a little trick you can do about it.

1) Go to Applications (or wherever you put it) and find the MAMP No Password app.
2) Control-click it and select Show Package Contents
3) Find the Info.plist file and open it (with Xcode for instance)
4) Add a new line ‘Application is agent (UIElement)’ and set it to YES
5) Save and close the file, then start the app – it will not show in the dock.

Although you should bare in mind that if you have a nice little option when you control-click the dock icon, which is: Restart Apache & MySQL – that by itself may worth to keep looking at the icon in the dock, but it depends on your preferences.

Good luck!
And last but not for the least: a big thank you to Damian!

If you don’t want to icon to show up in the dock, you can hide it with a free app called Dock Dodger. It’ll still run in the background and is visible with activity monitor.

One thing of note… Don’t put the MAMP entry in your System keychain. Create a new keychain. I called mine Apps, and moved my MAMP key into that. After that, no more “system” keychain login dialogs!

Thanks for creating this little app!

Turns out this was a multiple keychain issue – the password dialogue no longer appears.

However, if anyone had thoughts on the possibility of this app preventing immediate access to the internet when set as a login item, that’d be helpful.

Thanks for the app though!
