TinkerTool Classic

TinkerTool ClassicTinkerTool is an application that gives you access to additional preference settings Apple has built into Mac OS X. This allows to activate hidden features in the operating system and in some of the applications delivered with the system.

The tool makes sure that preference changes can only affect the current user. You don't need administrative privileges to use the tool. With this design, it is no problem to use TinkerTool in professional networks where users have restricted permissions. The program will never change any component of the operating system, so the integrity of your system is not put at risk, and there will be no negative effect on system updates.

All preference settings changed by TinkerTool can be reset to Apple's defaults, or to the state that existed before using the tool. No dangerous background processes are used for TinkerTool's operation.

The Classic edition of TinkerTool is designed to be used on Apple's older operating systems, namely Mac OS X 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3. For up-to-date systems, please use the standard edition of TinkerTool.

TinkerTool Classic is electronically distributed software. You can download the product free of charge.
