Sixty switches, one click each. Dark Mode, Night Shift, the desktop, the Dock.
01Switches
46 switches and 14 actions, in the same tabs as the dropdown. Each changes something you would otherwise find in System Settings or do in Terminal.
What’s on your screen, and what isn’t.
Clears the files, folders and widgets off your desktop.
Puts a color, gradient or picture behind the app in front, so nothing else shows.
Hides every app except the one in front and the ones you keep, like your screen recorder.
Hides the Dock until you move the pointer to it.
Hides the icons you choose, swaps the bar for a clean one, or hides the whole bar.
Dims the screen except a circle around the pointer, so viewers follow it. It shows in recordings and shares.
Stops the screen corners from starting things when the pointer reaches them.
Hides the pointer when it hasn’t moved for a few seconds, and brings it back when it does.
Keeps the app you’re using in the middle, and the others to the side.
Moves the Dock to the left, the bottom or the right of the screen.
The Dock’s icons grow under the pointer.
The menu bar clock shows seconds. Control Center restarts.
The menu bar clock counts to 24 instead of using AM and PM. Control Center restarts.
Paints the top of your picture wallpaper black, so the notch disappears into the menu bar. Your wallpaper comes back when it’s off.
How the screen looks: dark, warm, grey or calmer.
Switches the whole Mac between light and dark.
Warmer colors on the screen.
Adjusts the screen’s colors to the light around you.
Takes the color out of the whole screen, so it’s easier to put down.
Solid menus, sidebars and the Dock, in place of the see-through ones.
Darker outlines and stronger borders on windows, buttons and menus, so they stand out.
Fewer animations: windows and Spaces cut instead of sliding. Needs Full Disk Access.
Quiet, awake, or easy on the battery.
Silences notifications with Focus.
Stops the screen and the Mac from going to sleep.
Holds every key back while you wipe the keyboard. Press Esc five times to unlock.
Saves energy, so the battery lasts longer and the fans stay quiet.
A black screen that ignores the keyboard and clicks, so you can wipe both. Press Esc five times to finish.
Alert sounds and the microphone.
Turns the alert and notification sounds down to nothing.
Mutes the microphone every app hears.
Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and your AirPods.
Connects or disconnects your headphones, and shows their battery.
Turns Wi‑Fi on or off.
Turns Bluetooth on or off. Bluetooth keyboards, mice and headphones stop working while it’s off.
The keyboard, the pointer and how apps behave.
Makes F1, F2 and the rest work as standard function keys. Hold fn for brightness and volume.
Changes which browser opens links, without going to System Settings.
Hides each app as you switch away from it, so only the one you’re using is on screen.
⌘Q pressed once does nothing. Hold it for a second to quit, so a slip of the finger doesn’t close your work.
Quits an app when you close its last window, instead of leaving it running with nothing to show.
Makes the Caps Lock key an Escape key, or a Hyper key: ⌃⌥⇧⌘ at once, for shortcuts nothing else uses.
Keys repeat sooner and faster when held, quicker than System Settings allows. Apps pick it up when they next open.
Opens the apps and windows you had when you log in again.
Shake the mouse or wiggle on the trackpad and the pointer grows for a moment, so you spot it.
Not on or off: one click, and it’s done.
Starts the screen saver now.
Empties the clipboard, so nothing you copied can be pasted by accident.
Deletes everything in the Trash for good. Levers asks first.
Ejects every external drive, disk image and memory card.
Turns the screens off. Your apps keep running.
Locks your Mac, as with ⌃⌘Q.
Quits every app except the one in front and the ones you keep. Levers asks first.
Quits Finder and opens it again, for when it stops responding.
Quits the Dock and opens it again, for when it stops responding.
Clears the list of website addresses your Mac remembers, for when a site won’t load.
Strips the formatting off what you copied and pastes it into the app in front.
Runs a shortcut from the Shortcuts app.
Copies the title of the window in front and the name of its app.
Lines up the desktop’s icons by name, kind, date or size. Finder restarts.
Try it: click any card. Finder’s six have a section of their own below.
02Modes
A mode is a set of switches for one job: a call, a talk, an hour of deep work. Start it with a click or a hotkey, or let it start by itself at a set time or when an app opens.
Modes+
Make your own from any switches, in Settings.
When it stops, each goes back the way it was.

03Recording Mode
When a call, a recorder or any other app starts capturing your screen, Recording Mode hides what nobody needs to see. When it stops, each thing goes back exactly the way it was.

04Snow
New in 1.4. Snow falls behind your windows or over them, a drift builds along the bottom of the screen, and a quick swipe of the pointer blows the flakes aside.
Falls
Amount
Try it: swipe the pointer quickly across the screen.
05Backdrop
A color, a gradient, a soft mesh or a picture fills the screen behind the window in front, even your own wallpaper blurred. It follows you as you switch apps.
Or your own wallpaper, blurred.
Try it: pick a look.

Try it: click an icon to move it down a shelf, or point at the bar.
The Hidden and Always Hidden shelves go; your Visible ones stay.
A clean bar over the real one: the clock alone, plain black, or glass. Nothing on it shows in a recording.
Gone until you point at the top of the screen, then back as you need it.
07The palette
Press ⌃⌥Space in any app and type a name: Return turns the switch on or off, starts the mode or runs the action. It also runs your shortcuts, does sums and finds emoji.

Emoji
Try it: type dark, 12*7 or party.
08Finder
File extensions, the path bar, folders first, hidden files: the ones people look up a Terminal command for. Each is a switch, and Levers restarts Finder for you.
Favorites
Finder
Finder restarts to take each one.
Try it: each switch changes the window.
09Your own switches
Give it a command to turn it on, one to turn it off, and one that tells Levers whether it’s on, or a shortcut from the Shortcuts app for each. It then works everywhere the others do.

Most of these are buried in System Settings, need a Terminal command, or aren’t on a Mac at all. Here is the usual way next to Levers.

Using Levers
Whatever you pick in Settings › Modes › Recording Mode: it can hide desktop icons, other apps, the Dock and your menu bar icons, put a backdrop behind the app in front, turn on Do Not Disturb, keep the Mac awake, mute alert sounds, switch Dark Mode, Night Shift or True Tone, and set the screen to a resolution made for recording.
Yes. Levers writes down how each thing was before it changes it, and undoes the changes in reverse when you stop. Only what it changed is touched: anything you changed back yourself in the meantime stays as you left it. If Levers quits or the Mac restarts while Recording Mode is on, the next launch puts everything back.
Yes. When a call, a recorder or any other app starts capturing your screen, such as Zoom, Meet, Teams, Screen Studio or QuickTime, Recording Mode starts, and when the capture ends, everything goes back. A screenshot doesn’t start it. Started by hand, it stays on until you stop it. You can turn this off in Settings › Modes › Recording Mode.
Click Start in the dropdown, ⌥-click the Levers icon in the menu bar, press ⌃⌥⌘R in any app, or ask Siri to “Start Recording Mode in Levers”. Recording Mode and every switch are also actions in the Shortcuts app.
Yes. In Settings › Switches you put each switch on one of three shelves: On the Overview, In its tab, and Hidden. Drag a switch from one to another, or right-click it.
Your Mac and your data
macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Only the ones a switch needs, and only when you first use it: Accessibility for the switches that watch keys or windows, such as hiding chosen menu bar icons, Lock Keyboard, Cleaning Mode and Ask Before Quit; permission to control System Events for the Dock and Dark Mode, and Finder to empty the Trash; Bluetooth for AirPods; and Location, only if a mode starts on a Wi‑Fi network, to read its name. Reduce Motion needs Full Disk Access. Do Not Disturb works through two shortcuts you add once, because macOS has no other way for an app to set Focus.
No. There is no account and no analytics. Levers goes online only to check your license and for updates; the privacy page lists exactly what those send.
Buying
No. You pay once and keep the license forever, with every future update included.
Yes. Download Levers and choose Try Free for 3 Days: every switch and every mode, with no account and no card. Buy it when you’re sure, and every purchase still has a 14-day refund.
As many as your plan covers: 1, 2 or 5. One key works on all of them, and you can move it from one Mac to another yourself in Settings › License.
Yes. Fore Plus is $49 for Levers, Flit and Vitals, and Fore Insider is $99 for those and every app we release later. Each is one payment and one key, with every update, on one Mac for each app. For more Macs, raise the quantity at checkout.
Yes. A Flit Lifetime from before Flit’s one-Mac plans comes with Levers. Claim it at leversmac.com/flit with your Flit key.
Yes, half price. Email us from your school or university email, or with a photo of your student or staff card, and a person replies with a one-use code for checkout.
