How to make the .AppImage autostart at boot?

It's not obvious. I don't want to mess around with SystemD.

If using KDE Plasma 5:

0. Download the .AppImage file from https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases (like https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases/download/v0.12.3b10/activitywatch-linux-x86_64.AppImage) to wherever

   grep DOWNLOAD .config/user-dirs.dirs # https://stackoverflow.com/a/25055201/9731176

   states (probably $HOME/Downloads if you're using PowerShell Core 7+, bash, or sh) as, in this case, activitywatch-linux-x86_64.AppImage.

1. Install https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.prateekmedia.appimagepool using https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/io.github.prateekmedia.appimagepool.flatpakref.

2. Open AppImage Pool and add activitywatch-linux-x86_64.AppImage. activitywatch-linux-x86_64.AppImage shall then be duplicated into $HOME/Applications.

3. Integrate it.

4. Invoke kcmshell5 kcm_autostart or access the Autostart section via systemsettings5.

   RokeJulianLockhart@s1e8h4:~> kcmshell5 --list | grep auto
   kcm_autostart                  - Automatically Started Applications
   

   

5.
