An up-to-date list of macOS defaults commands with demos. ✨

Add a command

Feel free to open an issue if you know an unlisted command.

It's also possible to add the command yourself by creating a Pull Request. Please take a look at the contribution guidelines.

How to discover a defaults command

Using this bash script (bash ./diff.sh), you'll be able to find out which key changed when you change a system or app settings.

After you find the key with your options, simply run defaults find ${keyname} to find the domain it is saved in.

macOS-defaults recorder 📷

Some screenshots and videos were recorded programmatically in the past. Take a look at the record folder in the project history to learn more about it.

macOS-defaults builder 🤖

This project used to help compare Static Site Generators (SSG). We now removed this part but you can still find an old comparison between a few of them (Docsify, Docusaurus, VuePress and GitHub markdown) in the project history.
