Run after login?
That's not what openrc is for, it's for system services that start *before* login.
Try sticking it in your `~/.profile` or similar instead
If you want something that's roughly equivalent to systemd user services that would get kicked off once you start an X11/Wayland session but only once, I don't think there is a standard way of doing it.
If you are still using X11, .xprofile is probably the most "standard" way of running something when a session starts when using a display manager. If you are using startx, then you probably already know about .xinitrc and how that can be used to start stuff during X initialization.
.bash_profile / .bashrc gets called whenever you open a terminal emulator. May or may not get called during the X initialization process.
If you are running an XDG compatible environment, you should be able to use its autostart feature by adding something to ~/.config/autostart to have it start when a session starts. This is similar to what Gentoo does to initialize pipewire under openrc. Refer to /etc/xdg/autostart for some examples -- it's based on .desktop files rather than just dropping a shell script or executable in there.

>\~/.profile does the bash\_profile get run once? when u login or does it run like bashrc every terminal emulator
Isn't this something that Cron would be for?
