Locations is a really cool and handy tool that lets you change your Mac's settings based on the network you're connected to. How awesome is that?
With Locations, your Mac can switch up its behavior automatically! You can open or close specific apps, connect to home servers, and even change things like your Adium status. Plus, it can update your desktop wallpaper, adjust the screensaver, tweak display brightness, and even set the right timezone.
This app goes beyond just basic tweaks. It allows you to enable or disable Bluetooth and Airport, open web pages you love, play your favorite iTunes playlist, run Terminal commands, execute Applescript or an Automator Workflow. You can even show Growl notifications or kick off a Time Machine backup—all depending on the network!
You're not limited here! Locations lets you change your default mail application as well as hide or show certain applications. You can also turn on or off the firewall and pick a different default web browser. Basically, you can make your computer do nearly anything you want based on which network you're using.
To get started with Locations, just head over to System Preferences and launch the Location preferences pane. Here's where the magic happens! You can create multiple custom profiles that trigger when you connect to a specific network of your choice. The Actions tab shows all the changes that will happen when you're linked to a certain network. And if you need to mix things up? Just add or remove actions easily!
If you check out the Actions slide sheet, you'll see all available actions neatly organized into categories like Mail, System, Applications, Scripts, and All Actions. Each action is customizable so it fits perfectly with what you need.
A neat feature is the status bar menu that lets you change locations and open configuration settings with just one click! Super convenient!
In short, Locations turns your Mac into a smarter and more flexible personal computer that's ready for anything.
