Unified inventory
Review login items, background activity, and app extensions without hunting through separate settings.
System inspection
Make background activity visible before changing it.
MachKit organizes login items, background registrations, application extensions, and possible leftovers into a searchable local inventory. It keeps source paths and ownership context visible before offering a system setting or removal action.
Source context
Search by application, label, identifier, or path and see where an entry comes from.
Conservative action
Open the relevant macOS setting or remove only confirmed, policy-approved leftovers.
What it covers
See the capability and the boundary together.
Bring scattered registrations together
Background software can appear through several macOS mechanisms. MachKit groups the available records by purpose while retaining the labels, paths, application identity, and status needed to understand them.
- Login items and launch registrations
- Registered background activity
- Application and system extensions
Search with the original source still visible
Filtering does not reduce an entry to a friendly label alone. Source paths and owning applications remain available so similarly named items can be distinguished before any action.
- Search names, labels, identifiers, and paths
- Reveal related files where supported
- Open the relevant macOS settings
Avoid turning inspection into blind removal
MachKit separates active registrations from likely remnants and validates removal targets against its safety policy. Ambiguous or protected entries remain outside automatic removal.
- Clear active-versus-leftover status
- Protected-path and ownership checks
- Trash-first removal where supported
