LaunchControl: Advanced Launchd Management for macOS
LaunchControl is a powerful graphical user interface (GUI) tool designed for Mac users to manage launchd services with ease. It allows for the creation, management, and debugging of both system and user services, providing a comprehensive overview of service statuses. Users benefit from a streamlined experience that enables quick enabling or disabling of services with a single click. The interface also highlights invalid services, offering detailed descriptions of any issues, which simplifies troubleshooting and enhances overall user experience.
Integration capabilities of LaunchControl are robust, as it not only serves as an advanced .plist editor but also offers dedicated configurations for each launchd key. Users can toggle between default and 'Expert Mode' to access advanced features while ensuring synchronization between both modes. The tool mirrors most functionalities of the launchctl command line utility, includes a log viewer, and provides in-depth guidance for resolving job-related issues. LaunchControl is compatible with macOS and is essential for users seeking to optimize their system's service management.
