Mac tips

Instead of throwing links into chat, collect everything in one shared Safari tab group that stays in sync across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

With Hot Corners, move your mouse to any screen corner to instantly trigger actions like Show Desktop, Lock Screen, or Mission Control — no keyboard shortcut needed.

Use the macOS print dialog to save web pages, emails, receipts, bookings, and documents directly as PDF files.

Drawing black boxes over text doesn't actually remove it from the PDF. Use Preview's Redact tool to permanently delete sensitive content.

Automate repetitive tasks on your Mac with the Shortcuts app. No coding required – everything works via drag-and-drop.

Paste as plain text (no fonts/links): press Shift+Option+Cmd+V in most Mac apps.

Turn the web tools you use every day into separate Dock apps on your Mac, so they stop getting lost in browser tabs.

If you send similar emails again and again, a simple template saves time every day. Great for replies, support, offers, or community work.

Keep your Mac awake for downloads, backups, or long scripts with `caffeinate`, a time limit, or a command-bound session.

Try Stage Manager for 10 minutes: keep your main app centered, group related windows, and park everything else at the side.

Clean up your Mac menu bar by hiding rarely used icons and keeping only the status indicators you truly need every day.
