Plistinator: Easy Plist Editor for macOSs

A simple and intuitive plist editor for macOS, allowing easy modification of configuration data stored in plist files without directly editing XML.

What is Plistinator?

Plistinator is a macOS application designed specifically for editing plist files. Plist files are a special XML format used by Apple devices and applications to store configuration data and settings. They control many aspects of how apps work on macOS, iOS, etc.

Manually editing raw plist XML files can be quite challenging. Plistinator provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for modifying plist files without needing to deal with the underlying XML. It automatically handles converting changes to the proper XML format.

Features include:

  • Intuitive editing of plist keys and values
  • Reorder plist entries
  • Easily add, delete, enable and disable plist options
  • Find & Filter options to quickly navigate large plists
  • Import from and export to JSON format
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Dark Mode support

Plistinator simplifies the editing process for all kinds of plist files. Whether you need to tweak a configuration file for an app, edit game save files, customize system defaults, or make changes to other plist documents, Plistinator makes it easy.
