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 9.8 (Build 250714)

• Added new feature to review the list of purgeable data on APFS volumes. It is part of the Storage Space tab on the Operational Safety pane.
• The list of system services that perform automatic purging has been updated.
• Added support for the latest and future versions of macOS when creating macOS install media.
• When creating install media for virtual machines in the form of ISO files, lack of free storage space is now handled in advance.
• The Uninstallation Assistant for software now also removes an application’s live RAM cache of the preferences subsystem when deleting the associated preference files of that application. This ensures that the operating system does not recreate the affected preference files at its own discretion later.
• Many small optimizations.
• Additional support for future versions of macOS.
• Fixes a problem in the German user interface when macOS should ask for privileged permissions to search for dataless files.
• Fixes a problem in the Uninstallation Assistant where computer-specific user preference files of some applications may not have been suggested for deletion.
