OnlySwitch Overview:
OnlySwitch is a lightweight and generic macOS utility application, which sits on the menu bar and allows easy one-second access to a diverse range of system toggles and shortcuts. Its fundamental use is to bring many common and niche system manipulations together into one, available drop-down menu, enabling clients to modify settings without going through the System Preferences or even using non-user friendly terminal commands.
OnlySwitch involves straightforward switches such as turning off desktop icons, turning on dark mode, and ensuring that the screen stays on, more specific ones such as flushing the DNS cache, clearing system cache, and audio output device management. The most notable aspect of OnlySwitch is that it is highly customizable; users have the option of deciding which switches will be displayed in their menu bar, create their own button layout, and even use a global keyboard shortcut to their most frequent action.
