Settings Valet
Marks each leftover in System Settings red or green, with the reason in plain English.
About
Settings Valet is a Mac utility that reads the two lists macOS keeps: what can control your Mac (Privacy & Security, Accessibility) and what starts by itself (General, Login Items & Extensions). It checks every row against the disk and draws a red mark on each leftover and a green mark on each keeper, right on the real System Settings screen.
Every app you try asks to control your Mac or to start at login, and when you delete an app its login item often stays behind. Settings Valet names what each row is in a plain sentence, tells look-alike rows apart, and shows the path it checked under How I know, so you can agree with a mark before you touch a switch.
Settings Valet opens the right page, selects the row, and draws the mark. The minus button, the switch, and the password prompt stay yours, exactly as macOS designed them, so every change happens in the place you already know how to undo.
Moved to a new Mac? Move-In notices the move and opens with a checklist: Settings Valet's own permissions first, then every app permission and sign-in on your move list, each marked Allowed, Opened, or ready to set up, with a Fix button beside the ones still to do.
See what can control your Mac
Settings Valet reads the Accessibility list and checks every row against the disk. Installed apps get a green Keep. Rows that point at something gone get a red Remove, with the checked path one click away under How I know.
Clear out what starts by itself
Open at Login and Allow in the Background are both read. Entries whose app is gone are marked on their switch, and every remaining background job is explained in one sentence so a surprise line is easy to spot.
Tells look-alike rows apart
When two rows share a name, such as two entries called bash, a single line says which one goes: the one pointing at a missing program or the one with the blank white icon.
Move-In for a new Mac
After a move, Settings Valet opens with a checklist of its own permissions, then each app permission and sign-in on your move list, with times you can read like Opened on this Mac today at 2:46pm.
Start anywhere, finish clean
Begin with Accessibility or jump straight to Login Items. The last page confirms both lists are done. Links such as settingsvalet://accessibility open a page directly, and Hush Performance and Figaro use them.
