Mainspring for Mac

Reveals hidden macOS settings as 90+ one-click, reversible power-ups, recipes, and scenes.

Mainspring: the hidden settings of your Mac, one click each

Your Mac can do far more than System Settings lets on. Apple tucks hundreds of useful options behind Terminal commands, obscure preference keys and forum threads. Mainspring brings them into one calm, native app and turns each into a simple switch you can flip and undo.

The idea is trust. Every change Mainspring makes is saved along with the exact value it replaced, so turning something off puts back precisely what you had before. You can try things freely, because nothing is a one-way door.

Recipes: the fastest way to a better Mac

Recipes are curated bundles of power-upse click.

- Speed Boost makes the Dock appear instantly and cuts animation delays so the whole system feels snappier

clutter

Scenes and automations

Scenes let you save a whole setup and sw click. Build one from your currentsettings or pick power-ups by hand, then move between a focused work scene and a relaxed evening scene

without touching a single preference.

Automations apply settings for you. Choog does the rest:

- when you plug in or unplug the power

- when the battery drops below a level y

- when an external display connects or disconnects

- when a specific app opens

- at a set time each day

- when your Mac wakes

Keep your Mac awake, your way

Keep awake stops your Mac from sleeping wo hours or a custom time, with no adminpassword and no Terminal. For docked setups, keep awake with the lid closed lets your Mac keep running when

you shut the lid. Clean Mode locks the k short time so you can wipe your Macwithout triggering anything.

Mac Health

Mainspring quietly watches for problems that make a Mac feel sluggish or broken, such as a stuck system

service, heavy memory pressure, a nearlyas not restarted in weeks. When something looks wrong, a small indicator appears in the menu bar and a one-click fix is waiting in the Health pane.

Always within reach

A menu bar icon opens a compact panel with your favorites, so the settings you reach for most are one click

away. Star any power-up or recipe to pinngs like Dock size and magnificationapply live as you drag.
