About:
m-cli is a command-line interface tool that provides a set of utilities for managing macOS system settings and applications. It acts as a wrapper for various defaults commands and system APIs, allowing users to easily tweak hidden OS behaviors and preferences. The tool simplifies complex configuration tasks into simple, memorable commands.

Key Features:

One-line commands to change hidden macOS defaults
Utilities for managing Dock, Finder, and Mission Control
System maintenance and optimization features
No dependencies or compilation required

Use Cases:

Quickly configuring a new Mac with preferred settings
Enabling or disabling hidden OS features
Performing system maintenance tasks via CLI

Alternatives:

defaults – Native macOS command, but requires knowing specific domain/key pairs; m-cli provides human-readable commands.
macos-defaults – Similar web-based tool, but m-cli is a standalone executable.
