Can this be done ?

Hello I'm new to the mac and new here and here goes my first question. I have a Mac mini running sierra. Now my girlfriend and I have a separate account and both need to login to the mac. But what I want to know is how do you do this if it can even be done.
I need to load up a app before ether of us Log into the mac. As I want it to launch mobile mouse remote server. So I can use the iPad as a keyboard. So I don't need a mouse or keyboard connected my cables to the mac.

Hope it all makes sense!!!!!

Guess it didn't - no responses yet, but thread is still "fresh".

You have separate accounts where? User accounts on this Mac? App Store accounts? At Debenhams?

Check with the developer of that "mobile mouse remote server", if it can load as a "Kernel Extension" should be fine. If not, then you will probably need to log in using a normal keyboard, then you can use the iPad once signed in.

There are ways to launch specific programs even before a user logs in. If you can give us more information about the program you are using, then we can try to help you out.

system preferences -> users groups
you can set up 2 user accounts both as admin, easy to do
each user account has a separate iCloud account
each user account has a separate "Login Items" list

To launch an app during the LoginWindow stage (which is where you end up on startup without logging in), you pretty much have to write a LaunchAgent configuration file with the LimitLoadToSessionType key set to LoginWindow.
