ShowHiddenFiles

The tool integrates directly with macOS Finder to make files that are normally hidden visible in the file‑browser interface. By toggling the hidden‑file attribute, it allows users to inspect, open, or manage items that the system or applications keep out of view, such as configuration files, system caches, or temporary data. It operates within the native Finder environment, so no separate file manager or third‑party viewer is required.

Target users are macOS power users, developers, and administrators who need occasional access to concealed files for troubleshooting, configuration editing, or system maintenance. Because it works at the core of the operating system, it respects the existing Finder permissions and security model while providing a simple way to reveal or hide these items on demand.

The application is marked as stable and is distributed as a macOS‑only package, emphasizing reliability for everyday productivity tasks that involve hidden file manipulation.
