Houston
Set up any Mac the way you want it — in one click.
Houston exposes 120+ hidden macOS settings that normally require Terminal commands, and saves your entire configuration as a profile. Apply that profile to a new Mac, or restore yours after a wipe, in seconds instead of hours. Stop reconfiguring System Settings every time.
Features
- –120+ hidden macOS settings: preferences Apple buried — Dock, Finder, Desktop, Safari, Accessibility, Trackpad, Keyboard, screenshots, and more — exposed as toggles instead of `defaults write` commands
- –Save your setup as a profile: capture every tweak in a single file. Apply it to a new Mac, a coworker's Mac, or your own after a clean install — and get the exact same configuration back in one click
- –Reproducible across machines: profiles are plain files. Commit them next to your dotfiles, share them with your team, and treat your Mac config like code
- –No Terminal, no System Settings spelunking: every toggle is searchable and grouped. What used to take an afternoon of Googling now takes a minute
- –Per-display wallpaper management: set different wallpapers for each connected display
- –Menu bar quick-access: toggle your favorite tweaks without opening the app
- –Lightweight native SwiftUI: no background daemons or agents
- –macOS Tahoe and later: built for the latest system APIs
