A curated, searchable list of macOS `defaults` command-line commands with demos, published as a static documentation site (macos-defaults.com). It helps users programmatically configure hidden macOS System Settings via the defaults CLI.
Use cases
- find defaults commands to customize my mac dock
- show hidden files in finder via terminal
- automate macos system settings setup on a new machine
- disable screenshot shadow on macos
- learn what a defaults domain and key do
- speed up dock autohide animation
When to choose
- you want a browsable, demo-backed reference of macOS defaults commands
- you're scripting a fresh macOS setup and need known-good defaults commands
- you want to discover hidden preferences not exposed in System Settings
When to avoid
- you need a tool that applies or manages defaults for you rather than documentation
- you're on Linux or Windows
- you need guaranteed complete coverage of every defaults key
