macOS Toolkit

Macos Toolkit v2.0.0 — a utility toolkit for managing, analyzing, converting, and processing data from the command line. Supports run, check, convert, analyze, generate, preview, batch, compare, export, config, status, and report operations — all tracked with timestamped entries stored locally.

Commands

Run scripts/script.sh <command> [args] to use.

analyze <input>	Record an analysis entry. Without args, shows recent analyze entries.
generate <input>	Record a generation entry. Without args, shows recent generate entries.

Data Storage

All data is stored in ~/.local/share/macos-toolkit/:

• Each command type writes to its own .log file (e.g., run.log, check.log, convert.log)
• Entries are timestamped in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<value> format
• A unified history.log tracks all actions across command types
• Export files are written to the same directory as export.json, export.csv, or export.txt

Requirements

• Bash 4+ with set -euo pipefail
• Standard Unix utilities (date, wc, du, tail, grep, sed, cat)
• No external dependencies — works out of the box on Linux and macOS

When to Use

1. System checks and diagnostics — use check and analyze to record system health checks, diagnostic results, and analysis findings on your Mac
2. File conversion tracking — log convert operations when batch-converting file formats, encoding, or data transformations
3. Configuration management — use config to track system configuration changes and status to record current system states for auditing
4. Batch processing workflows — record batch and generate entries to document automated processing pipelines and their outputs
5. Reporting and export — use report to log generated reports and export accumulated data to JSON, CSV, or TXT for sharing or archival

Examples

# Record a system check
macos-toolkit check "Homebrew packages up to date, 142 installed"

# Log a file conversion operation
macos-toolkit convert "Converted 50 HEIC photos to JPEG format"

# Analyze disk usage
macos-toolkit analyze "SSD: 234GB used / 500GB total, 47% capacity"

# Record a batch operation
macos-toolkit batch "Resized 200 images to 1080p for web deployment"

# Search across all entries
macos-toolkit search "disk"

# Export all data as JSON
macos-toolkit export json

# View summary statistics
macos-toolkit stats

Output

All commands print results to stdout. Each recording command confirms the save and shows the total entry count for that category. Redirect output to a file with:

macos-toolkit stats > report.txt

Configuration

Set the DATA_DIR inside the script or modify the default path ~/.local/share/macos-toolkit/ to change where data is stored.
