Swwwitch

A simple macOS menu bar utility with three toggles:

• Dark Mode — switch system appearance via AppleScript
• Hide Desktop Icons — toggle Finder's CreateDesktop preference
• Caffeinate — keep your Mac awake

Plus a Launch at Login toggle powered by SMAppService.

Requirements

• macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later
• Xcode 16+ / Swift 6

Building

The project uses XcodeGen to generate the Xcode project:

brew install xcodegen   # if needed
xcodegen generate
open Swwwitch.xcodeproj

Or build from the command line:

xcodegen generate
xcodebuild -scheme Swwwitch -configuration Release build

How It Works

Feature	Implementation
Dark Mode	AppleScript → System Events
Hide Desktop Icons	defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop + killall Finder
Caffeinate	/usr/bin/caffeinate process
Launch at Login	SMAppService.mainApp (no helper app needed)

The app runs as a menu bar agent (LSUIElement) using SwiftUI's MenuBarExtra.
