launchcontrol supports all documented features of launchd(8). it reports potential problems even before a job is started and makes sure you always create valid configurations. launchcontrol is not sandboxed. it supports user launchagents, global launchagents/daemons and system launchagents/daemons.

see the big picture…see all services and their respective status at a glance. services which have not been configured properly are highlighted. enable or disable services with a single click. long list of jobs may be filtered. you find what you are looking for in an instant.

…and the gory detailslaunchcontrol is not just another .plist editor. it provides a dedicated interface for every single launchd configuration key. the interface is adaptive. it displays only information that is relevant for the selected job.

discover what's possiblelaunchd(8) currently supports some 36+ documented keys. launchcontrol makes it easy to discover them. every key in the palette panel is annotated, so you don't have to consult the man page. search them by category, name or description. once found, drag an item from the palette section to the configuration section to add this key.
