Overview

What it is

1Setter is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that lets you control system settings with a single click. Quickly toggle features like hidden files, Dock behavior, and other system options—without opening System Settings.

Intent

I need it when

Quickly access frequently used macOS settings without navigating through System Settings

1Setter places 40+ common macOS settings and actions in the menu bar for one-click access, eliminating the need to dig through System Settings for tasks like toggling Dark Mode, muting audio, hiding desktop icons, or enabling Keep Awake.

Extend Mac battery life and manage power consumption efficiently

1Setter includes Low Power Mode, Keep Awake, Bluetooth toggle, and Dim Screen actions accessible from the menu bar, enabling quick power management decisions without opening System Settings or draining battery through repeated navigation.

Create custom modes to switch Mac settings for different contexts (meetings, focus work, gaming)

1Setter allows users to group multiple actions into combos and modes, enabling one-click switching between preset configurations optimized for meetings, presentations, deep work, or gaming without manually toggling each setting.

Maintain a clean, distraction-free workspace for presentations or screen recordings

1Setter provides dedicated actions to hide desktop icons and widgets, disable keyboard input, and manage screen display settings, allowing users to instantly prepare their Mac for presentations or recordings without manual adjustments.

Receive ongoing app improvements and new features without reinstalling or managing subscriptions

1Setter delivers new actions and improvements online after purchase, with all updates included in the one-time $4.99 license fee, ensuring the app grows with long-term maintenance and no recurring costs.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User runs Windows or Linux and needs system settings control on those platforms
  • User requires subscription-based software with frequent feature rollouts and prefers not to pay upfront
  • User needs to control settings on multiple Macs simultaneously; only one device can use a license at a time
  • User operates offline permanently and cannot activate the license online initially
  • User requires advanced scripting or plugin support for custom system automation beyond the 40+ built-in actions
