One Switch
Dark Mode, keep awake and other toggles in one panel
The verdict
For $4.99 once, One Switch swaps a handful of single-purpose utilities for one menu bar panel of switches that hide desktop icons, toggle Dark Mode, keep your Mac awake and more. It has a 98% rating from over 2,000 Setapp users and free lifetime updates. Each switch is basic next to a dedicated app like Amphetamine, so heavy users of any single feature will still want the specialist.
Get it if
You keep separate apps just to hide desktop icons, stay awake or flip Dark Mode.
Skip it if
You only need to keep your Mac awake, which Amphetamine does for free.
What it helps you do
- Hide desktop clutter before a screen share
- Keep your Mac awake during downloads
