TinkerTool System 9 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 macOS you are running.

All options available in the current situation are accessible via “panes”, very similar to the System Settings 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 macOS, usually not visible on the graphical user interface,
• extended file operations, not available in the macOS Finder,
• the possibility to access advanced system settings which are not visible in System Settings,
• graphical user interfaces for “pro” features for which Apple doesn’t provide any graphical interface in modern versions of macOS any longer,
• 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,
• features to protect your privacy,
• an emergency tool to troubleshoot and repair macOS in cases where the normal user interface is no longer starting correctly or the user account of the system administrator has been damaged,
• functions to collect advanced information about the hardware, operating system, and applications.

What's New:

Release 9.88

• Added several new product information fields for Macs with Apple Silicon. (This feature is available via the product sheet of the Mac section of the Info pane.)

It is also shown whether the Mac is battery-operated or the display is partially occluded by additional components, such as a camera notch.
• Added support to show the configuration of the new Super Cores on systems with M5 Pro or M5 Max processors.
• Performing a fan test is now also possible on Macs with M5 processors.
• Added a workaround for a technical limitation of macOS where the marketing name of Intel-based Macs could not be determined for specific model series released in the 2019/2020 time frame.
  Internal technical changes to guarantee compatibility with future versions of macOS when scanning folders.
• Fixed a problem where the color of the system case was not shown for specific model series on the Mac Info pane.
