Mac: We’ve previously looked at how you can make your Mac adapt to your environment, but ControlPlane offers a ton of new options.

When ControlPlane enters or leaves a context a set of Actions are performed.Īctions ControlPlane includes a number of built in actions that it can perform on your Mac but using AppleScript, shell scripts and your imagination you can do virtually anything. Using evidence sources you can create a set of rules that tell ControlPlane what context to apply to your environment. You can even write your own evidence sources using shell scripts!ĬontrolPlane supports multiple contexts where a context is defined as a location or activity you are performing. Evidence sources can include your current location, visible WiFi networks, attached USB devices, running applications and more. ControlPlane determines where you are or what you are doing based on a number of available evidence sources and then automatically reconfigures your Mac based on your preferences. ControlPlane allows you to build configuration profiles, contexts in ControlPlane lingo, for your Mac based on where you are or what you are doing.
