About:
SimPLISTic is a command-line utility for manipulating property list (plist) files on macOS. It allows users to read, write, and modify plists in various formats without needing the full Xcode suite. The tool provides a lightweight alternative to the 'plutil' command for complex editing tasks.
Key Features:
  • Read and write plist files in XML, Binary, or JSON formats
  • Supports deep object navigation using dot notation
  • Can modify values, add/remove keys, and query data structures
  • Lightweight command-line interface without Xcode dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Modifying app preferences or configuration files stored as plists
  • Extracting specific values from complex plist files for scripting
  • Converting plist formats between XML and Binary for compatibility
Alternatives:
  • plutil – Built-in macOS tool; SimPLISTic offers more intuitive editing and navigation syntax
  • PlistEdit Pro – GUI-based editor; SimPLISTic is a free, command-line alternative
