With its complete set of Mac tools and easy to use interface, Mac Pilot is truly your digital companion. Run scripts as an advanced system optimizer, enable hidden options and features, and erase your computer history!

Whether you need your computer privacy because you are dealing with sensitive information, or just to hide birthday shopping, Mac Pilot will put your heart at ease with its ability to erase the most common signs of computer usage.

It can delete search history, erase internet history, as well as forget about recently opened files and launched applications! But it`s ability to delete history files isn`t it`s only crowning accomplishment.

Pro user or not, you can now increase computer performance with only a few clicks of the mouse. No more dealing with troublesome command lines, and mind boggling acronyms!

Now, users can update their prebinding, rebuild the `whatis` database, force empty the trash, run `cron`, repair disk permissions, and much more. Mac Pilot will also function as network management software, allowing users to view information in one pane, easily.

But, none of those are the REAL gold that Mac Pilot is hiding. Everyone loves the updates Apple brings us each year with a new version of the Mac OS.

However, some features and enhancements don`t make the final cut - but they`re still there, hidden as easter eggs that you can access. A lot of these features can not only help improve your productivity, but also make using your Mac more fun!

You can also turn off all these extra dazzling features to increase performance, as a lot of the animations will slow down the Mac OS on older machines.
