What is PrefEdit?

PrefEdit is a free, open source preference editor application for macOS. It provides users an easy way to view and modify hundreds of hidden settings and preferences in macOS that control the behavior of the operating system and applications.

With PrefEdit's intuitive graphical user interface, users can easily toggle boolean preferences on/off, edit text string values, and modify integer and floating point values for preferences they would otherwise have to access using the command line. It also allows editing of preferences in the user's Library folder that aren't exposed in System Preferences.

Some of the main features and preferences categories that can be edited using PrefEdit include: Finder, Dock, Menu, Quarantine, User Pictures, Colors, Keyboard, Auto Correct, Safari, App Store, Software Update, Public Beta, Universal Access, PU Registration, and many more.

PrefEdit enables power users to unlock additional customization and functionality in macOS, while still being simple enough for casual users to modify their system preferences. Its save/restore functionality allows users to easily revert changes if needed. Advanced users can also export and share preference lists.
