On the other hand, you can always turn to one of the few system tweakers available to get the job done from a graphical user interface (GUI).

Our favorite is OnyX for its exhaustive feature set that provides both basic and easy options for any kind of user.

If theres an option Mac OS X keeps hidden, OnyX will provide access.

You can enable all sorts of hidden features and easily modify much of your systems functionality.

Its a very useful tool for your Mac whether youre looking to solve problems or alter functionality.

Advertisement Where It Falls Short OnyXs exhaustive feature set makes it equally exhaustive to navigate if youre not using it regularly.

It can be hard to find what youre looking for from time to time because it does so much.

Also, when you start OnyX youll be greeted with a few annoying warning messages.

You can argue these are necessary, but it would be nice if you received a single popup message allowing you to check or uncheck the startup operations you want to perform.

GO Media may get a commission JACHS NY Long Sleeve Tech Shirts Buy for 25 from JACHS NY The Competition TinkerTool (Free) is the most obvious competition and likely has many loyal users who consider it better.

While its interface is similar to OnyXs, it organizes its options in a simpler and easier way.

Youll find things faster and more easily but you wont have quite the vast number of options provided by OnyX.

While TinkerTool definitely gives you plenty of tweaks, youll also find them in OnyX among many system maintenance tools.

If you just want to make basic tweaks very easily, go with TinkerTool.
