About OnlySwitch
OnlySwitch is a customizable menu-bar app for macOS that groups system toggles such as dark mode, AirPods, hiding desktop icons, keeping the Mac awake, and managing the notch. Users can add, remove, and reorder switches, import macOS Shortcuts, assign keyboard shortcuts, and use desktop widgets or the Only Control panel.
Some controls have limits noted in the repository: Hide notch has known issues, several switches are listed as partially finished, and automatic updating is broken in version 2.5.6 and earlier. Widgets require macOS Sonoma and later, and iPhone or iPad control requires OnlyRemote and local-network pairing.
