@iApple Yep, won't work without password saved. Here's how it's set up on my end. So from a state where client is not even launched - "ctrl+a" will launch the client, log me into connection and launch the app.

Yup, it works just fine for me. One thing that comes to mind - do you have the "save password" ticked in the client connection? Otherwise it would probably launch the client and prompt you for password.

There's couple ways to do it. Easy one: 1. Rclick your app in the Parallels Client > Create shortcut on desktop. 2. You might need to set up your shortcuts folder to do this - see second screenshot (you can put them somewhere else, if you prefer not to clutter your desktop). 3. Set Alfred hotkey to launch the shortcut - that will start the connection and launch your app when you hotkey. Harder way would require adding a bash script/terminal command step to run after launching the Client. Can't tell you off the top of my head how to do it, but can try to look into that too.
