  • Hide Desktop Icons. Toggles the visibility of all icons on the desktop. When activated, the desktop becomes completely clean, showing only the wallpaper. When deactivated, the icons return to their original positions.
  • Dark Mode. Switches the system interface theme between light and dark. The change affects system windows, menu bars, and applications that support the native macOS API.
  • MacBook Pro Notch. Hides the notch on 2021 and later MacBook Pro models, integrating the camera area with the menu bar. It works with static and dynamic wallpapers, adjusting the top coloring.
  • Show Hidden Files. Shows or hides files and folders with the invisible attribute in the Finder. Requires restarting Finder windows to fully apply the change to the file system view.
  • Auto-Hide Dock. Activates or deactivates the Dock's auto-hide behavior. When active, the Dock stays out of sight until the cursor moves near the edge of the screen where it is located.
  • Auto-Hide Menu Bar. Controls the automatic hiding of the main menu bar. In the active state, the menu bar only appears when moving the cursor to the top of the screen.
  • Night Shift. Activates the system's blue light filter, adjusting the screen's color temperature. The switch allows for immediate manual activation, independent of the schedule set in System Preferences.
  • Mute Microphone. Globally deactivates the audio input from the system microphone. It provides a quick cut of sound capture for all applications, without needing to adjust individual permissions.
  • Radio Player. Integrates a tuner for internet radio stations. Users add stream URLs in the settings, select a default station, and control playback (play/pause) from the menu.
  • Xcode Derived Data. Performs a cleanup of the "DerivedData" folder used by Xcode to store indexes and intermediate builds. Frees up disk space by removing files generated during project development.
  • AirPods. Quickly connects paired AirPods. The switch detects available devices in the Bluetooth list and establishes the audio connection without opening the system control menu.
  • Focus Mode. Toggles between "Do Not Disturb" and other focus modes configured in the system. Changes notification settings and app visibility based on the selected profile.
  • Storage Space. Shows available space on the startup disk in the menu bar. Presents an updated numerical reading of free storage, expressed in gigabytes or terabytes depending on the device's capacity.
  • Free RAM. Frees up unused random access memory. The process terminates inactive processes and empties caches to increase the memory available for active applications, without closing running programs.
  • Quick Access Keys. Assigns keyboard combinations to activate any switch or shortcut. The assignments are configured individually, allowing control of functions via keyboard inputs without interacting with the menu.
  • Imported Shortcuts. Includes shortcuts created in the macOS Shortcuts app. Users import existing workflows, which appear as executable items in the OnlySwitch list alongside the native switches.

Development of OnlySwitch began in 2021. The main creator is Jack Landrin. The application is written in Swift, using Cocoa frameworks for the user interface and macOS APIs for system functionality.
