MacPilot from Koingo Software puts the hidden side of macOS into a normal, friendly window. macOS carries hundreds of settings that Apple never shows in System Settings, and reaching them usually means memorising terminal commands. MacPilot gathers over a thousand of those options into tidy sections for Finder, the Dock, Safari and more, adds maintenance and network tools, and lets you undo a change just as easily as you made it. Updated Aug 17, 2026.

Key Features

  • Unlocks over 1200 hidden macOS settings and features
  • Finder and Dock tweaks like showing hidden files
  • Maintenance tools for caches, logs and system databases
  • Network utility with ping, port scan and DNS lookups
  • Save points and reset options that undo your changes

How to Download

  1. Use Download from the official site to get the current Mac build.
  2. Open the downloaded file and move MacPilot into your Applications folder.
  3. Launch the app, browse a section and change one setting at a time.

System Requirements

The current MacPilot line needs macOS 13 or later, and the developer lists older builds for older systems. Some settings only apply to certain macOS versions, and the app notes those as you browse.

FAQs

Do I need to know terminal commands?

No. That is the whole point of the app. Every tweak is a switch, menu or field in a window, with on screen help explaining what it does.

Can I undo a change I regret?

Yes. You can reset a single feature to its default or use save points to return a whole setup to how it was before your changes.

Is there a trial version?

Koingo offers a time limited trial from its site, so you can explore the settings on your own Mac before deciding on a license.
