TinkerTool is a macOS desktop application designed to enable you to access a variety of hidden settings for configuring native components, including the Finder, Dock, Safari or iTunes.
Moreover, the app does not add anything by itself and it functions only as a graphical interface to features that are available by default via the command line or other ways.
Moreover, the application does not affect the integrity of your system and only makes changes to the current user’s settings. The developer promises that future OS X updates will not be hindered in any way, and there are no suspicious processes running in the background.
TinkerTool lets you access options to fine-tune a lot of system options, from fonts, applications, Finder, Dock, Desktop, Safari, iTunes to QuickTime. It also supports options for resetting the system to a pre-TinkerTool state or to system defaults. What’s more, you can also export / import settings as .ttps files for later use.
Whether or not you are satisfied with the current default settings that macOS provides to its apps, you may discover lots of useful options in TinkerTool you never knew existed.
For instance, you can disable your Mac's Finder sound effects, allow for the Finder to Quit like a normal app, view the selected path in the window title and more.
In addition to this, you can restrict certain features of the Finder, tweak the Dock by allowing options to disable manual resizing, changing the grid list look, changing Launchpad effects or selecting a different placement for the Dock.
Other settings include choosing a different screenshot file format, a different output screenshot folder, toggling some application features, choosing to not keep the Help window in the foreground, changing the default app fonts, default Safari font and much more.
All things considered, TinkerTool is a very useful application that brings together the hidden macOS features which are missing from the System Preferences. If you feel like you need more flexibility in tweaking macOS, this app is exactly what you need.
