An automated macOS setup script that applies system defaults, preferences, and installs recommended developer tools and applications. It works on brand-new machines as well as long-used ones, configuring the shell, iTerm2, Finder, Dock, and more.

Use cases

  • set up a new mac laptop automatically
  • automate macos developer machine configuration
  • install dev tools and apps on a fresh macbook
  • apply better macos system defaults with one script
  • restore my dotfiles and shell preferences on a new machine
  • configure zsh and iterm2 for development
  • onboard a new team member's mac quickly

When to choose

  • you want a one-command, opinionated setup for a macOS developer machine
  • you're setting up a brand-new Mac from the factory
  • you want curated defaults for zsh, iTerm2, Finder, and Dock plus auto-installed dev tools

When to avoid

  • you're on Linux or Windows
  • you want fully manual, granular control over every preference change
  • you dislike opinionated defaults and pre-installed apps being applied to your machine
