Publisher's Description
From Koingo Software:
Scared of the terminal or can't be bothered to remember those commands to customize your system the way you want? Mac Pilot is your digital savior. Easily enable and disable hidden features in Mac OS X, optimize and repair your system, and perform numerous routine maintenance operations with the click of a button!
Pro user or not, you can now increase computer performance with only a few clicks of the mouse. Optimize your network for broadband connectivity, completely customize Apple File Sharing, perform essential maintenance without having to remember mind boggling acronyms, and much more. However, those are just a few of the many reasons why Mac Pilot is your choice over Cocktail, TinkerTool and Onyx!
Enable the "cut" option in the Finder, disable menu items for security, disable icon caches, set history limits, erase recently used files, prevent your dock from being modified, turn off all system animations, increase the speed at which windows resize, change which format screenshots are taken in, set a default name and location for screenshots, disable a secondary processor, the startup chime, and even change the login window picture!

"It says "can't be opened" on my Mountain Lion."
Version: Mac Pilot 5.0.4
Pros
I bet it's good, I can't tell.
Cons
I can't open it.
Summary
I've tried several downloads. It always says"MacPilot.app" is damaged, and can't be opened.
I went to the developer's home page, and downloaded version 5.05. It opened fine, and looks to be a really useful utility. I have been bothered by the "accidental click" feature on my trackpad not working correctly. I quickly found the option to fix it on MacPilot, a great start.
It sounds like a really good app to me, but I can't open it on my Mountain Lion machine.
I wish I could skip putting stars on the review, because I don't want to add noise to the review stats.

I fully expect to pay for this and use it beyond the trial period. -
"Good prog. Very intuitive"
Version: Mac Pilot 4.1.8
Pros
Good prog. Very intuitive
Cons
remember to clear cache
Summary
Re MacPilot:
I installed the program and was adjusting this and that, back and forth, seeing the effects of what I was doing and then after doing that I tried to use Word, Excel, and Safari. None of these would work.
I was freaking out. But then I remembered the old Empty the Cache routine. I did this, with MacPilot, under the maintenance section but Word would still not work. Then I did a restart, and all's well. Yay. It's a good program, but do remember to do the above. By the way it runs really fast now. I guess I was getting bogged down with cache files for some time now. -
"Comprehensive and powerful"
Version: Mac Pilot 4.0.8
Pros
Covers many elements of system management, most of which you should be aware, and many of which you should exercise some control. Covers more system admin areas than the competition.
Cons
In an ideal world there would be a better overview of the system admin tasks/elements, how they interact, and pros/cons of making any changes. I'd enjoy the bigger picture(s) as well as the item summaries.
Summary
Comprehensive, powerful - more so than the competition. Better big-picture info to supplement the individual item summaries would be most helpful.

"When I need it I need it!"
Version: Mac Pilot 4.0.8
Pros
The ability to perform many tasks which I could do on terminal but don't do often enough to recall all the syntax and options.
Cons
You need a modicum of system knowledge OR the good sense to not do things you don't undersstand.

"Worthwhile functions. Needs good tech knowledge"
Version: Mac Pilot 4.0.8
Pros
Makes many utilities easily available. Great way to fine tune your Mac. Can definitely improve computer function.
Cons
Requires some technical knowledge. Number of tasks performed is daunting at first. Documentation could be better.
Summary
I like it. I use it frequently. Has never caused any problems.

"Provides very easy GUI access to many program settings."
Version: Mac Pilot 3.5.1
Pros
Rapidly updated and easy to use.
Cons
A more detailed explanation of what each setting does and showing examples would make it more approachable.

This is something that everyone that is an Intermediate or better Mac OS X user should have in their toolbox.
