The mind map you see below was created to help you search System Settings, since the built-in search is hit-or-miss. Use ⌘-F in your browser to search, and then use the zoom out button to get situational awareness of where Apple buried that particular setting. Here’s a perfect example: search for “set service order” in System Settings and it will find no results. Search here and you’ll be rewarded.
Thank you to the amazing Brett Terpstra for writing a WordPress plugin called wp-svg-viewer just so you could view this ungainly 2773 element mind map in such a usable form.
You can also download this content in three different formats:
- Your own SVG copy of the mind map (as seen below but without Brett’s fancy buttons)
- Plain text Markdown format which works great when opened with Brett’s Marked app
- OPML file for use in an outlining program
- A comically large and unsearchable PNG
Check out my article entitled How I Mind Mapped All of macOS 26 System Settings to learn how (and why) I created this.
