Reviewed by: Jason Parker on May 15, 2009
MacPilot is another good option for fiddling around with your Mac, optimizing it to run better and unlocking the hidden potential of OS X and many applications--all without having to use the command line. MacPilot's graphic interface gives you access to an almost staggering number of customizations, commands, key combos, and more, all organized around specific applications (include Apple and some third-party apps) as well as categories like Disks, Startup, Logs, Tools, and Power. You can do everything from tweaking the appearance and behavior of the Finder and Dock to activating hundreds of "secret features" in many apps (whether you want to, say, disable inline attachment viewing in Mail or automatically grammar check your Web forms in Safari). You can also search for features within a given app or category using a new search bar.
There are other cheap--and even free--options out there with similar functionality, so try out a few just to make sure you're getting the features you want. Fortunately, MacPilot comes with a no-limits 15-day trial.

Version: MacPilot 3.3.9
"Super Tuner for Mac. Maintain,Modify,Analyze OSX"
Pros: Plenty of features too many to list . analyzes, repairs, modifies, tweaks, all sorts of Mac OSX features. (including network)
Cons: inter-phase. not that user friendly for the novice-intermediate user.
Summary: one of the better programs of this type on the market today. Does just about everything short of folding your shorts. There is however a higher learning curve with this product. That being said, I suppose one should expect to jump into the help file... read more >>
