PlistEditor

A cross-platform desktop application for viewing and editing Apple property list (.plist) files, with a focus on OpenCore config.plist editing for Hackintosh setups. Built with Avalonia UI and .NET 10.

Features

• Open and browse .plist files through a native file picker
• View plist entries organized into sections based on top-level keys
• Edit plist values using the MVVM pattern (powered by CommunityToolkit.Mvvm)
• Take an OpenCore EFI snapshot: scan an EFI/OC folder and automatically populate the ACPI, Kernel (Kexts), UEFI (Drivers), and Misc (Tools) sections of a config.plist
• Generate SMBIOS data (serial number and MLB) for a chosen Mac model using macserial, including downloading the latest macserial binary from the OpenCorePkg releases
• Persist app settings (such as tool paths) between sessions
• Fluent-themed UI with FluentIcons for a modern, native-feeling experience
• Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux thanks to Avalonia
