I also love Jettison, which makes sure your external drives eject when you sleep your system. I'm also using Deliveries to track my packages and shipments, because I'm 1) still working from home and 2) living a life of online retail therapy.Īmphetamine is a favorite of mine when I want to make sure my MacBook's screen doesn't turn off.
Setapp even has the beloved Downie, a fantastic utility for downloading YouTube videos. Those apps include the lovely Bartender for managing the menu bar icons - a new priority thanks to the notch in the 2021 MacBook Pros. It's a subscription service that packs a ton of well-designed and powerful Mac apps (and their iPhone and iPad versions) into one monthly fee.

Install this password managerĭue, I should note, is also available in the amazing Setapp, which I've been testing since it first debuted. Now, both in Finder windows and the desktop, under many (but not all) sorting options, your file folders will be separate from 7. Lastly, under Advanced, I turn on both of the "Keep folders on top" options.

I made sure Music and Pictures were visible, and you may want your Laptop view - which has all connected drives, plus your laptop internal drive and network - to be visible as well.
A lot of these options were unchecked by default for me, and that was no good. Next, tap Sidebar at the top of Finder Preferences. Then I change the New Finder window option, which defaults to Recents, a sorting of recent files on your Mac that has never suited me. I usually would do this, but I haven't yet (not sure why not). This screen can be so important that I'm still thinking it should be in System Preferences (but I digress).įirst, under General, you may want to click the button next to Hard disks, so that your laptop hard drive is a visible on the desktop. While using Finder, hit Command +, (comma) to open up the Finder Preferences. Other Hot Corners options include Desktop (temporarily hiding everything on your screen to show your desktop) and Put Display to Sleep (which may be a little much for something you could accidentally activate). Mission Control shows all your open (and un-hidden) windows on each of your screens, and it's often how I find things in a sea of too many windows. Instead, I activate the top left corner for the Mission Control option. On the Mac, I'm less in need of QuickNote (Drafts is right there in the dock, always ready for me to capture a new idea), but I haven't turned that off yet. That's QuickNote, where you can keep a running note document that's tied to specific websites or apps, by hovering your cursor in the bottom right corner.
Hot Corners is a macOS function that activates a command or feature when you move your cursor to one of the corners of your screen.īy default, the Mac only uses one of the four Hot Corners - and it uses it for a feature you may 1) not know about and 2) not care about. I don't know where I'd be without macOS' Hot Corners (probably using a third-party app to do the same thing). That's the last thing I need when I'm editing photos and video on my MacBook Pro. It tries to find the true white balance for you, and I often find it becoming more yellowed than I like.
I also turn off True Tone, another of Apple's tools that changes your display due to ambient lighting.

I'm the type who wants full control over my screen, so I disable "Automatically adjust brightness," because I don't need macOS fiddling with my brightness level based on my ambient lighting (I do love the similar feature in the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition and the Kindle Oasis, but that's a whole different story). Then, there are two other settings that I always turn off. Currently, I'm sticking with Default, but I keep considering More Space. You can now adjust from having larger text or more space on your screen. Open System Preferences (Click the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen, and then select System Preferences) and click Displays.

So, this may be something that takes some trial and error, but macOS' default screen scaling (aka resolution) isn't for all.
