Macfigure is a tool for configuring macOS using the Pkl configuration language, offering a simplified alternative to Nix-Darwin. It handles Homebrew, cron jobs, dock settings, and secrets management with a declarative config file. While nascent and limited in scope, it presents a more accessible approach for Mac users who find Nix overly complex.
