TinkerTool System is a professional all-in-one maintenance tool for the Macintosh platform. It allows you to change advanced operating system settings and offers a wide variety of maintenance features. It strictly complies with the software guidelines for Mac OS X, and also uses Apple's official instructions and recommendations for the resolution of certain system problems. TinkerTool System is very different from other maintenance applications because it never uses any scripts and is fully integrated into the security architecture of Mac OS X. For example, it never asks for your password itself but lets Mac OS X do this when necessary, always verifying whether an operation you have selected is allowed to be performed with your current user credentials or not. Together with its sister program TinkerTool which is available at no charge, TinkerTool System is a perfect substitute for the following types of maintenance applications:

Cache and font cache cleaners,

Tools to access hidden preference settings,

Applications to make objects invisible in the Finder,

Programs which edit type/creator codes,

Internet browser privacy protection tools,

Network tuning applications,

Programs to control the Macintosh startup chime,

Tools to remove international language support files,

Log file browsers,

Application deinstallers,

Service menu control programs, and many others Limitations: You can download the application TinkerTool System at no charge. This allows you to evaluate the software to see if it suits your needs. During the test phase, we offer two different modes of operation to try out the application: •In demo mode, only the features Reset the permission settings of Mac OS X system files, User Interface Resolution, System Information, Log File Overview, and Change the base system language effective during startup and login are operational. All other features are visible and can be browsed, but cannot be used. •You can alternatively switch the application to evaluation mode. In this mode, all features of the software are fully functional. This allows you to thoroughly test the application before purchasing a registration key. It will launch five times per computer in evaluation mode before it falls back to demo mode. Evaluation mode cannot be transferred between different operating systems running on the same computer.
