Product Description:

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!

We welcome you to put Mac Pilot to the test against our competitors. Features, stability and interface say it all - but why don't you be the judge? Download your FREE 15 day evaluation now. No launch limits like some of our other competitors.

Received from developer:

"While it may launch on 10.4, we cannot guarantee compatibility for features. Some may or may not work, however none should remotely cause your system to become corrupt. We will post a final version for 10.4 in the near future. We've only just changed the requirements as we're dropping 10.4 shortly."

I had to download the update from here, rather than from within the app itself, a feature I certainly appreciate when it works.

I've been playing with this version of MacPilot in Snow Leopard and found that a few features do not apply, just so no one is surprised. Nothing blows up, no problems are caused that I can find.

What I found does not apply:

Tools: General: Features: Install Disk Images Preferences Pane
Tools: General: Files & Folders: Extract...
