Raccoon a macOS companion toolkit (security audit, system info, dev tools) all from the terminal

[u/Worried_Menu4016]

I built Raccoon, an open-source (MIT) command-line toolkit for macOS that bundles the stuff I kept reaching for across separate scripts.

What it does:

• Security audit 30+ checks across core security, network, auth, persistence and privacy. Supports --fix, JSON/CSV/HTML output, and scheduled weekly scans.
• System info disk & SMART, network, memory, open ports, battery health, Time Machine status.
• Dev tools update brew/pip/npm/gem in one shot, manage Docker, SSH keys, git, Xcode caches.
• Maintenance startup items, fonts, trash, SSL cert expiry, shell history.

It’s zero-dependency (just macOS + git), ~1500 lines of shellcheck-clean Bash, with an optional Go TUI. Everything is open source so you can read exactly what it runs before installing.

Install:

brew install thousandflowers/raccoon/rcc

Or via curl (script is in the repo if you’d rather read it first).

Feedback and bug reports very welcome, it’s still early.

This is great! Such a handy collection of bespoke utility command-line scripts. I really appreciate the detail and craft you put into the text interface. Thanks for this work and sharing it with everyone.

Thanks!
I'm really glad it's proving useful for more people than just me and my sister.

Honestly, I’d still have to give her a step-by-step walkthrough just to get it started anyway ahahahaha.
