So weird thing started happening on Mac OS Big Sur. TrainerRoad keeps opening itself up at random times?
Anybody else seen this? Its not just my system, its my pancake Mac and my partners MacBook as well?
Yes, it happened twice to me, soon after upgrading to Big Sur. Hasnât happened in a couple of weeks, though.

Its the TrainerRoad âAccoutability Ghostâ reminding you to start your workouts.
JK. Thanks for reporting this, definitely curious if itâs related to Big Sur, hopefully, if more athletes are experiencing this theyâll chime in!

Could be similar to what Chrome does annoyingly.
Try this â Stop Chrome from Auto Opening at Mac Login | Nektony
If TR isnt in that list I am not sure lol
@IvyAudrain:
Iâm experiencing the same thing! Also on Big Sur, TrainerRoad starting randomly. Happens with no other application.
@mrpbennett: not sure that your suggestion is really valid. the behaviour observed is not âTrainerRoad starts right after login to the userâ or sth. similar, but TrainerRoad would start in the middle of web browsing⌠after a (what seems to me) random amount of time.
First time I observed this I actually thought I had typed some kind of keyboard shortcut without being aware. But it actually happened multiple times by now.
Two diff MacBooks both on Big Sur. Never experienced this random issue with TR or any other app.

Correction⌠I updated to the latest beta this AM and now this afternoon I have also encountered this random self launching of TR. Note I was several versions behind on updates. So, I am unable to say which update may have introduced this new âfeatureâ 
Big Sur 11.1
TR 2020.51.0.129-beta
edit: also updated the other MacBook Pro and later that afternoon I was surprised w/a TR self launch 
same version information
Thank you so much for reporting this! Passing along to the team. 
It happened again a few minutes ago.
2021.1.0.130-Beta
Hey! Do you mind following up with the team as weâre tracking this issue by user and TR version? You can either reply directly to your previous support ticket or start a new one by writing support@trainerroad.com. Sorry for the trouble, thanks in advance.
This happened to me in December, and I thought I was going crazy. It just happened again today. Iâm using v. 2020.51.2.121
Quite annoying, as this has never happened with any other app on my system.
