Mac Settings Shortcuts gathers Finder, Dock, display, clipboard, DNS, screenshot, and typing controls that are otherwise spread across System Settings and defaults commands. Every switch reflects a real macOS setting, and restart or logout requirements stay visible beside the change.
Start the 14-day trial in the app. No payment method is required to try Foldout.
This tool is a local inspection and workflow utility for files, settings, and development tasks you control. It reviews selected local information only; Foldout does not connect to other machines, manage accounts, monitor networks, or provide a live service.
Show desktop icons, reveal hidden files, and control Finder path, status, and tab bars.
Control Dock auto-hide and other frequently changed Finder and Dock behavior.
Keep the Mac awake, sleep the display, lock the screen, or open the matching System Settings pane.
Clear the clipboard or flush the DNS cache on demand.
Choose screenshot format, window shadow, floating thumbnail, and save-location behavior.
Tune automatic correction, smart quotes, smart dashes, period substitution, and key repeat.
Read the live macOS state on open rather than showing Foldout-only preferences.
See restart, relaunch, new-app, or logout requirements beside the affected control.
Deterministic grouped states show what changes, which process may restart, and when newly launched apps or logout are required.
Toggle hidden files, desktop icons, Dock auto-hide, file extensions, path and status bars, and network-volume .DS_Store behavior with restart requirements stated beside the controls.
Keep the Mac awake, sleep or lock the display, clear the clipboard, flush DNS, choose a screenshot format and location, and control shadows and floating thumbnails from one explicit surface.
Control auto-correction, smart quotes, smart dashes, press-and-hold repeat behavior, and repeat speed while the app explains when newly launched apps or logout are required.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
Desktop icons, hidden files, Finder bars, and Dock behavior are available in one section with relaunch requirements stated explicitly.
Keep Awake, Sleep Display, Lock Screen, and direct System Settings routes put routine workstation controls in one known place.
Format, shadow, thumbnail, and save-location controls reflect the real macOS capture settings.
Correction, smart punctuation, period substitution, and repeat controls are grouped with notes about which apps or sessions receive the change.
The current state is read from the system when the tool opens, and actions that relaunch Finder, relaunch the Dock, or require logout say so before the change.
Open the relevant Finder, system, screenshot, or typing section.
Review the current switch state.
Apply the change or direct system action.
Follow the visible restart or logout note when required.
