TinkerTool SystemOverview

TinkerTool System 4 is a collection of system utility features helping you in performing advanced administration tasks on Apple Macintosh computers. The application makes use of a self-adapting user interface which automatically adjusts to the computer model and to the version of OS X you are running. All options available in the current situation are accessible via "panes", very similar to the techniques you already know from the System Preferences application. The features are controlled via a single window which allows you to use the application as a general toolbox and First Aid assistant. This includes:

  • built-in maintenance features of OS X, usually not visible on the graphical user interface;
  • extended file operations, not available in the OS X Finder;
  • the possibility to access advanced system settings which are not visible in System Preferences;
  • genuine and unique features of TinkerTool System, designed to resolve typical real-world problems of administrators and to fix the effects of certain defects ("bugs") in the operating system;
  • an emergency tool to troubleshoot and repair OS X in cases where the graphical user interface is no longer starting correctly or the user account of the system administrator has been damaged;
  • features to protect your privacy, e.g., by reviewing and editing the list of Internet cookies stored for your user account;
  • functions to collect advanced information about the hardware, operating system, and applications.

NEW

  • Added new privacy feature to remove entries for Recent Searches in the search field of Safari.
  • Added new feature to remove adware applications of the category "Buca/Bundlore Ltd".
  • Added new feature to enable the diagnostic startup option to enforce stricter separation between kernel memory and user memory. It can be used to protect the system against specific security attacks published in August 2015, at the expense of performance.
  • Added feature to change the permission filter for applications running on the graphical user interface. Apple has reintroduced this possibility in the latest versions of OS X Yosemite or later, after removing it for the second time in the history of the operating system. (OS X 10.10.4 or later is required.)
  • Added support for future versions of Safari.
  • Enhanced support for future operating systems.
  • Corrected a problem where detail error messages could contain English parts although the user had selected German as preferred language.
