Yosemite Preferences overview

Yosemite Preferences lets you customize hidden settings on your Mac. Every Mac includes a utility called System Preferences, used to change hundreds of settings within OS X. System Preferences has many features, but there are many useful features hidden within OS X that are not included in System Preferences. Yosemite Preferences unlocks those features in a beautiful, easy-to-use widget.

  • Maximum Convenience: Unlike similar utilities, Yosemite Preferences is a Notification Center widget, making it more convenient to customize settings. Customizing a hidden setting is now as easy as activating Notification Center and clicking a simple button!
  • Beautiful Design: Yosemite Preferences was designed to take advantage of the new transparency and vibrancy effects in OS X Yosemite, giving it a unique look and feel that blends in with the color of your wallpaper.
  • Powerful Features: Yosemite Preferences 1.0 includes 20 powerful hidden preferences that enhance your Mac, with more to come in future updates.

I was going to give this a try, but got so caught up in the Tsunami of Jizzguy's reviews, I decided to leave it for a few days until some calm order prevails. Full Rating in due course, but 2 stars thus far, for the effort the the Dev has committed to produce a FREE product.

I gave this one a spin and discovered that it offers no settings that I can't find in other apps. It is an interesting take on user interface but I found it overly elaborate for the function it offers. I am not so sure it belongs with Notification Center. But who knows? It may have potential.

I D/L and installed it and I don't see this app at all.Secrets does a much better job and TinkerTool Systems is great. I f you don't want to pay than Onyx is better.

This app works as described, don't get put off because one user had a damaged download. There are instructions to do many of this app's functions via Terminal, but it's much easier with this app, and it's free.

It's OK as far as it goes. I installed it and looked at it; there really isn't anything that you can't access from other places. But it's all in one location, and the Notification Center is an interesting choice. You really shouldn't give an application one star because you didn't enable Gatekeeper, though. When the developer figures out a way to remove the background from the dock, I'll pay for the app.
