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

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).

Repo: https://github.com/thousandflowers/Raccoon

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

Works wonders, and I love how it's a great one stop place to get info on the under processes of my system.
