## About

Mainspring is a macOS menu-bar utility that exposes over 90 hidden system settings as one-click toggles. Instead of typing Terminal commands, you adjust settings through a clean interface and can instantly revert any change. The app includes pre-tuned recipes like Speed Boost, Screenshot Studio, and Privacy Security that bundle related tweaks together, so you can apply a whole configuration in one click.

You can create scenes to switch your entire Mac setup by context: one scene for work with a big dock and scrollbars visible, another for focus mode that hides the desktop and silences UI sounds. Mainspring watches in the background and can automatically switch scenes based on your activity. Every setting stays local on your Mac with no account or data upload required.

The app runs on macOS 13 and later. It's signed and notarized by Apple, and all changes are fully reversible, so you can experiment without risk.

Mainspring turns Terminal commands and hidden macOS settings into a visual, one-click interface with instant undo. It bundles related tweaks into recipes and scenes so you can switch your entire Mac setup by context automatically, all without leaving your computer.

Problem
Power users spend time in Terminal copying commands from forums to tweak macOS, with no easy way to remember or undo changes. Most hidden settings require command-line knowledge.

Solution
Mainspring presents 90+ hidden macOS settings as labeled toggles with one-click undo. Recipes bundle tweaks together, and scenes automate switching your whole setup by context.
