MacPilot Editor's Review

'Mac Pilot' is a complex application that enables over 300 hidden features in Mac OS X and other applications.

This application is remarkable. I was impressed at first by the number of options available. This application doesn't need a 'Preferences' panel, because the panel is useless.

I tested most of the hidden/disabled features that could be enabled and I saw my Mac do things that it didn't do before.

Mac Pilot gives you more control over applications and features like Finder, Dock, Safari, Mail, Disks, Network, Sharing, System, Fonts, Logs, Tools, Info, Power, as well as a category of miscellaneous settings.

I won't write anything else about this application. My reason is simple, it's too complex to explain every feature of Mac Pilot, and why should I spoil your surprise?

Pluses: It enables lots of hidden/disabled features of Mac OS X and its built-in applications. It can also do maintenance tasks to your system.

Drawbacks / flaws: The documentation could be improved. The help section is quite small.

In conclusion: If you like to discover new things that your Mac OS X can do, then this application is a good start. Even though Mac Pilot has some built-in maintenance functionality, I recommend that you also check other tools that are dedicated to these tasks, for example: Maintenance or OnyX, both being from Maintenance's producer.
