DESCRIPTION
MacPilot can 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 MacPilot 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. Over 900 features in total!
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.5:
- New Feature: Enable momentum scrolling for Magic Mouse.
- Bug Fix: Will no longer prompt to perform actions in the features lists if disabling confirmations is enabled in the Preferences window.
- Bug Fix: Fixed a crash when resizing the information lists (key combos and such).
- Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with the View menu not including the File Browser, and taking the user to the wrong page when selecting another item.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

STEVEN GOODHEART Thanks for the addition of the ability to disable Mail.app's option to auto-include names in copied addresses. That's so annoying, and it's great I can now disable it. I have (and occasionally use) Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail but I still find that MacPilot is my favorite utility in terms of the interface, number of features, and ease of use. Also, MacPilot seems to be adding features and refinements at a much quicker pace than these others. I"d hate to have to choose between MacPilot and TinkerTool System, though. They are both terrific. Try them both out and see which one you grok better, but for my money, MacPilot is the best of the bunch. (Version 3.4.5) | |

STEVEN GOODHEART Wow, this is a great piece of software. Super powerful and a very, very intuitive interface. Even though I own Tinker Tool System, I had to add this to my toolbox. I love how quickly and easily I can make deep system changes and I love how clear and understandable the the built-in help and explanations are. Really top notch -- just bought it!

CHAS_M Love this software, dunno what's up the trolls' butts with their nonsense complaints. Don't like the price, DON'T BUY IT. Simple really. Now sod off. Anyway, love the software, but I do have one complaint: get a better hosting service, guys. Your website loads slowly, and your downloads are simply ABYSMAL. 11KB/sec?? That's soooo 90s. This is not a fluke; I've faithfully downloaded updates every time a new one appears, and it's always the same. Other downloaded updates from other companies (for example, today's Rogue Amoeba update) FLY in. It's going to take **15 MINUTES** to download a 11MB file. I'm downloading 10.6.1 as I type this, and the first 11MB came in in under five seconds. You gotta fix this, or at least cough up some mirrors! (Version 3.3.5) | |

FLASH1296 Remarkably, under OS 10.6 ["Snow Leopard"] this appl' has only a few finctions that fail - and they are mostly under "system" With the newly updated O.S. already released in some quarters [e.g. on Macs sold in Japan and on some Mac Minis] and the retail release date set for later this week, I am hoping that we will be seeing an updated version of MacPilot. (Version 3.3.4) | |

ICONZ113 people need to stop complaining because they have to pay for the app. It seems all the freeware reviews are 5 stars on this website, and all the proprietary software have bad reviews. Stop bitchin. This app is the best of its kind, the only competitor is secrets and it doesn't have as many features. As for a utility maintenance app there are better alternatives This app combines the 2. Not bad. (Version 3.3.2) | |

KOINGO SOFTWARE The software, according to our testing, is already Mac OS X 10.6 ready. If you are encountering any problems, please report them via the support form on our web site. Also, if you have suggestions on how to improve the GUI, by all means, do let us know. With over 900 features (100s more than the nearest competitor), you will find yourself hard pressed to find a better way to present the features. As for the comment about being a Windows-rooted developer, Koingo Software was Mac-first in 1994, and it has been our primary operating system right through today. Our entire staff are running MacBooks and MacBook Pros, and use Windows under emulation only to test the PC computerparts a select few of our titles have. (Version 3.3.2) | |

STEPHANCORLEY One could ask him self why he would pay for such software. I mean, there are several free tweak programs and most are even much much better. MP GUI is just too messy. Many possibilities are a good thing but if there are all punched inside a not user friendly UI it is game over for me. It is also clear the programmer has roots as a Windows developer. Not one thing in this GUI is remotely connected to OS X guidelines ! ! It also doesn't work very well under OS X 10.6 (10A411 build). All sort of errors appear. Seeing most available software today already works 100% on 10.6 it makes you think why this doesn't. Hackie programming comes to mind. For exaqmple Onyx and iTweax works perfect under OS X 10.6 Paying for this ? No way! Onyx, Tinkertool and iTweax are much much better and FREE ! (Version 3.3.2) | |
