* Clipboard history (screenshots on clipboard in the history is extra useful)
* Snippets using the date placeholders {datetime:short} for various file naming and email workflows
* Snippet shortcuts for things I always forget like the shortcut for → and ™ or my zoom meeting link that I paste into meeting invites
* Launching simple shell scripts by keyword
* Workflow for opening Jira tickets in my browser quickly
* Search notes workflow for quick access to everything in the Notes app
* Soulver workflow for using the Soulver engine in Alfred for doing quick calculations
I was a Quicksilver user that never quite got into Spotlight. I'm betting these days some of these workflows can be accomplished with Spotlight and other apps but Alfred has worked very nicely for me.
>* Clipboard history (screenshots on clipboard in the history is extra useful)
Indeed! As I mentioned elsewhere I've reversed the keyboard mappings for screenshots so that Shift+Cmd+4 copies to clipboard and Shift+Ctrl+Cmd+4 creates a file. Then I manage the images through the clipboard.
>* Snippets using the date placeholders {datetime:short} for various file naming and email workflows
>* Snippet shortcuts for things I always forget like the shortcut for → and ™ or my zoom meeting link that I paste into meeting invites
Yes, snippets are invaluable! I have tons of different ones, everything from various API keys, adding user accounts with SSH pubkey on Linux (while checking that password auth is off), outputting an ASCII guitar fretboard, setting up servers with nginx/php/mysql from scratch etc... Haven't actually looked into placeholders though, looks potentially useful although I can't think of a particular use case off the bat.
And everything synced through Dropbox of course.
>* Launching simple shell scripts by keyword
Yes! For example I often run "slack active" and "slack away".
>* Workflow for opening Jira tickets in my browser quickly
I do this as well! "<board> <ticketnumber>" opens them up directly in the browser that I use for work, i.e. "ticket 123" opens /browse/TICKET-123. Super convenient.
And for amusement I've created a couple of workflows to play different sounds, for dramatic and/or comedic effect.
And another workflow creates a new subdomain for a specific domain in Cloudflare.
Alfred is one of the main things that keep me from switching back to Linux.
Are you fine that Alfred can read the clipboard?
> * Workflow for opening Jira tickets in my browser quickly
Yes! Navigating JIRA is much easier with Alfred.
1. Typing something and pressing CMD+B will open a browser and do a Google search for that
2. Typing math works now
3. You can change your Spotlight preferences to not include files you don't wanna search on, essentially always showing apps (if you just want it do be an app launcher)
Alfred does a lot more than this, but for me these were the key automation features I needed to stop using it.
I’ve found Google has the best calculator feature, which supports complex unit-aware inputs like “6 gigabytes / (7.1 mb/sec)”. Even Wolfram Alpha seems to get confused with some simple inputs.
I do use it a ton for launching apps and quick calculations, but Spotlight can do that with a bit less polish.
So my macbook is closed, inside a drawer, covered by a board, and connected to external monitor and keyboard.
1. How can I boot into windows from the mac desktop. Current procedure is to take off the board, open up the laptop, wait for startup, press a macbook key waiting for the os screen to start from which I can select windows icon. For some reason my external keyboard doesn't work during boot time. Its very annoying. Is there an app that will boot me into windows, from a mac desktop?
2. I have to shutdown the laptop at night because the fans are driving me crazy. But that means I have to pullout the macbook out of the drawer in the mornings, and open up the laptop to start it with a power button. Any apps that will put the macbook into sleep mode, that turn off the fans and external drives, quickly.
3. I miss cut and past for files the way it was on windows. This effectively moves them. Now I have to hold a key down and drag on a mac. Requires much more coordination, in selecting the destination folder. Is there anything equivalent to cut and paste on mac?
Thanks for any help.
2. Is the “Sleep” feature built into the OS not the thing you’re looking for? Fans don’t run during sleep. I don’t see why you need an “app”.
1. I don’t have anything useful to say on this one, sorry.
- Some application is using a lot of CPUs and other resources
- Spotlight is indexing the hard drive, and is misbehaving (see for mdworker processes)
- The ventilation holes are physically blocked or there is a lots of dust
- The System Management Controller is misbehaving (especially on some 2013 and 2018 and later MacBooks which have T2 security chip). Resetting the SMC often helps with strange hardware problems.

If you hit space at after invoking the crosshairs then you can take full window screenshots. This mode is nice for marketing material as it also captures the drop shadow and rounded corners rendered properly as a transparent png.
As a vastly more general rule, hold down Option while clicking anything on a Mac to get the alternate/advanced form of the click action (e.g., try Option-clicking the various status icons on the right end of the menu bar).
I almost locked up my entire computer this week, presumably because of this... here's the story for that:
I had setup unbound listening on 127.0.0.1:53 as the only DNS resolver for all network interfaces, so that I hijack several responses that I might want to (e.g. adnet sinkholes) and forward the rest to Google/Cloudflare over TLS.
When I rebooted the Mac, the entire computer was so fucked that I panicked cause I thought my SSD was failing. Turns out unbound failed to start so all DNS was down. I suspect it to be the "phoning home" because when I opened the Terminal, running `ps aux | grep unbound` took like 5 seconds to return anything (as did everything else that tried to run), and that behavior has been reported by other users as Gatekeeper's Phone Home checks being at fault.
So that's why I was wondering if anyone has found out how to keep macOS from doing this (preferably without disabling all of SIP), cause that'd be one hell of a tip...
Second: once the binary has been checked for malware it won't be checked again.
Third: if the connection fails immediately the malware check is skipped immediately. So if you are offline or otherwise force the relevant server DNS names to be rejected immediately it shouldn't wait for any timeout.
Fourth: anything you build with the Xcode UI is automatically excluded since you are using the user interface and explicitly asking to run "unknown" code.
Fifth: Anything listed as a Developer Tool in Privacy will have its child processes excluded from GateKeeper scanning. This command will make the category show up and put Terminal in it:
"sudo spctl developer-mode enable-terminal"
Once it shows up there go to Privacy and check the box to enable Terminal.
If you run CI or automation you can do the same by putting your Jenkins or other binary in the list, causing all subprocesses to be excluded.
On your first point: Was aware of this, and this is the part that is most puzzling about the whole incident to me. I just checked my $PATH and I am indeed running the system binaries, so not sure how to explain this one.
On your second point: Was aware of this too, but I assume a lot of the slowness comes from JITted programs, for which there will be phoning-home for any new executable memory page (AFAIK), and the policy decision caching semantics for things that are not on disk are not as clear to me.
On your third point: While this is true for the connection that gets established to Apple's servers, I think this might have had to do with DNS being UDP based by default (AFAIK), so there is no explicit refusal, and it hangs on a timeout because of that, even though DNS can be done over TCP as well. Haven't investigated this though, just a hunch...
On your fourth and fifth points: I don't use XCode, but my terminal (Kitty) was already on the Developer Tool list when this happened, which makes the situation with ps and grep even more mysterious to me...
Block the syspolicyd process with Little Snitch.
I’m also curious if the self signed binaries in Big Sur fix this problem.
I guess the questions I'd have regarding this that I'd need to validate would be:
- Does this setting persist across reboots?
- Does it stop phoning-home altogether, or will it still phone-home, but always authorize regardless of answer?
- Is there a more granular way to disable just phoning-home, rather than nuking all of Gatekeeper? (Some of its things like disallowing access to personal files by default are still nice to have)
Will report back with an update after testing...
In theory it should be possible to patch the function that checks for signatures, but I have no idea if anyone has actually tried it.
> Quartz Debug: There are some apps that reduce your battery life in an insidious way where it doesn’t show as CPU usage for their process but as increased WindowServer CPU usage. If your WindowServer process CPU usage is above maybe 6-10% when you’re not doing anything, some app in the background is probably spamming 60fps animation updates. As far as I know you can only figure out which app is at fault by getting the Quartz Debug app from Apple’s additional developer tools, enabling flash screen updates (and no delay after flash), then going to the overview mode (four finger swipe up) and looking for flashing. This same problem can also occur on Linux and Windows but I don’t know how much power it saps there.

Well, I wish that were completely true, because cmd+backtick only cycles through the windows of the application, while cmd+tab lets you select the application you want.
From Ubuntu (or maybe rather Ubuntu's default desktop environment?) I am used to cmd+backtick allowing me to select the window - I did find an application that does enable this behavior [1] but I wonder what else is out there. I used to use Hyperswitch but it doesn't seem to work on Catalina
> Well, I wish that were completely true, because cmd+backtick only cycles through the windows of the application, while cmd+tab lets you select the application you want.
I'm having trouble distinguishing between these two descriptions of the behaviour. What is different between what you say and what the author says?
Cmd-backtick only cycles through the windows.
It's one of those "How did I manage before without this?" apps.
One of my favorite features is quick switching by holding down Caps and typing some of the Application / Window name. When releasing Esc, the selected window will be focused. So if you know the window you want to switch to, it's extremely fast.
What I really want now is for Alfred to copy all of Contexts search features so that I can use them for generic search matching in Alfred workflows.

I have been doing this for years. The only thing it breaks for me is casks that try to install applications, and I don't mind.
MacPorts has excellent housekeeping, which is controlled through port command arguments. One can choose to leave everything from the entire build, or have everything cleaned up as it builds, or clean it up after the build. Showing and eliminating leaves is also pretty simple.
Uninstalling MacPorts with these 3 commands leaves absolutely nothing behind:
>$ sudo port -dfp uninstall --follow-dependencies installed
>$ sudo port -dfp uninstall all
>$ sudo rm -rf /opt/local /Library/Tcl/macports*
Good luck completely uninstalling Homebrew without having to look everywhere to make sure it is all gone. It requires downloading and trusting the Homebrew uninstall script.
When I first got a Mac about 4 years ago moving from Linux, the first thing I did was compare homebrew and macports.
homebrew was such a cluster-fuck in how it screwed around in /usr/local and its requirements for root etc, especially with Apple's move to basically own most of /usr under SPI.
Macports follows the BSD ports model and since Apple is a BSD based unix underneath, it makes sense. I haven't found anything I've needed that hasn't been ported.
It installs by default in /opt, which is where it should. When needed it will create the appropriate startup configurations for services as part of launchd and in the correct locations.
Capable of installing both source and binaries. Works well in my experience.
(No experience with MacPorts so I can't compare; but coming from Linux/apt I didn't feel much was missing, just a little different)
I haven't been involved with macports recently enough to compare, but one advantage of Homebrew's popularity is the depth of package specifications and how quickly they're updated
Unclutter - This gives you a nice non intrusive "memo zone" as well as manage your clipboard, so that copying password won't lose your user name into limbo.
BetterTouchTools - Who'll live without this one? Just give "three fingers swipe down" mapped to cmd-w and your life will be quite that much better. No more click at the upper corner tiny button to close a window which is an insanely dumb usability. Add several more to your likings and your life is even rosier.
And use a password manager, so that a new login made from your phone will be on your mac without effort and nothing gets lost on clean install even if you forget to export them if they're saved in the cloud, not to mention you can have randomized password for every site, but make sure to secure the master password with 2fa.
I used to be able to restart BTT and snapping would work again, but that is no longer effective in the latest version. I guess the fact that it even has a "restart" option in its drop-down menu should have been a hint.
I prefer using the keyboard as much as I can, and I use Cmd+W to close windows (yes, sometimes one may mistakenly hit Cmd+Q and close the entire application, but muscle memory can help).
By this definition, all Mac Web browsers are broken, but you can fix the accidental Command-Q problem on an app-by-app basis by remapping Quit to something harder to accidentally type like Command-Shift-Q using the Keyboard pane in System Preferences.
Personally, for applications like my primary browser where intentionally quitting is overwhelmingly the exception rather than the rule, I remap Quit to Control-Command-Option-Shift-Q and rely on the fact that pressing Q while any application is selected in the Command-Tab switcher triggers its Quit command.
Although I like a lot about ForkLift3, I had to ditch it eventually because its inability to set different view settings for different windows drove me insane.
Finder does allow this so, for example, I can have my ~/Downloads and ~/Pictures/Screengrabs folders set to always display in list view sorted by most recent [so the latest download or screengrab ia always at the top] whilst displaying other folders, such as /Applications in column view and alphabetically because I look for things in there by name.
My favourite Finder tip:
when saving a file and you want to base its name on an existing one, eg: myimage01.jpg, myimage02.jpg, myimage03.jpg... etc. Click on one of the existing files in the save dialogue and the untitled one you're about to save will adopt that name. Then you just change the last digit [or whatever] and save.
Favourite not particularly OSX specific tip: When including a date in your filenames, put it at the start in YYYY-MM-DD somefilename format. that way, sorting the column of files by name, also correctly sorts them by date.
Favourite not yet mentioned OSX utility: A Better Finder Rename [0] --bulk file renaming with more options and combinations than you can shake a stick at.
Favourite not yet mentioned OSX app: TextMate [1] --what Sublime Text hopes to be when it grows up!
ForkLift is something that keeps my sanity.
I suspect you might be deleting the .DS_Store files, which would have a side effect of resetting your configuration.
Also, Finder doesn't do cut, you hold down ⌥ when pasting to move it rather than make a copy. And since it draws your desktop icons, it's supposed to stay running–that's why "Quit Finder" menu is hidden by default.
I do a lot of stuff on the commandline, I don't really need an advanced graphical file manager. If necessary, I open an additional Finder window for more complex manoeuvres.
I wonder if there are people who, like me, come from Desktop Linux to macOS and kept working like that.
Has Windows stopped polluting the world with Thumbs_db files? I hate when I see those things on a server.
The author mentions this among several other Finder alternatives, of which they prefer Path Finder.
System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver -> Screen Saver -> Hot Corners -> Bottom Left Corner (or whichever you prefer) -> Put Display To Sleep (or Lock Screen if you prefer).
Adding caveat : Keep the dock size small to avoid interfering with Hot Corners and if you use VM in seamless mode try not to place any action(VM guest panel) near the macOS Hot Corners.
I use the bottom right corner for revealing the desktop. Extra handy while dragging files.
There is a plugin called qlstephen that allows you to spotlight all text files (but it's a bit of a pain to install on Catalina due to permissions issues): https://github.com/whomwah/qlstephen
ControlPlane https://github.com/dustinrue/ControlPlane
Easier to automate setup through Homebrew, no need to store/activate the license or anything, doesn't have the "draw the window position" popup thingy, but I don't really care about that and gotten used to the (very simple) default shortcuts.
I highly recommend it, give it a try if you're interested!

I open lots of things when working and that would be more useful than doing the exposé and switching back and forth do declutter.
It seems to me that this feature is available on Windows and has been for a long time.
I tried almost everything that I could google and I even bought apps that I don’t use anymore because I though that the level of customization would enable it.
Is there someone that knows a tool or a trick to allow that ?
On an other note: a tip on iOS and MacOS, when you make a voice recording then you can edit it and activate a feature with the top left wand icon which is going to clear up the sound. When it's a voice recording it's pretty amazing how well it works, in particular to remove the echo.
What I want to do actually IS the mission control mode where all the windows are resized to fill up the screen.
To close a window while in exposé mode, the easy solution is effectively to use BTT, creating a new gesture for example "3 fingers click" with the ctrl modifier. Then selecting the action "Close Window Below Cursor (Works in Mission Control)".
And this effectively close my window. An other tip here, still in mission control while the cursor is on a window, pressing the space bar displays it full screen.
One more thing: While doing COMMAND + TAB to show the open apps, pressing the bottom arrow key show all the open windows for this app, regardless of the space they are in. Really useful.
There’s the keyboard preference which I have enabled, but it doesn’t behave the same as my non Touch Bar MacBook. I can keyboard-interact with confirmation dialogs on my 2012 MacBook to hit Ok or Cancel. On my 2019, I must use the trackpad or the Touch Bar. I’ve been googling for a fix or even a bug report but it’s a surprisingly hard thing to google for.

I have had problems with iStat Menu. I really want it to work, but it always introduces random crashes into my system. Every couple of years, I try it again, but it hasn’t stabilized yet.
It's messing with my displays (I use an eGPU and an LG Ultrawide 49-incher), and I am getting more crashes than usual.
It's def iStat Menus. When I removed it, all the issues stopped.
It’s just that, whenever I would have it installed, my system would have fairly frequent, random, “gray screen of death” crashes, with worthless stack traces.
The only way I figured it was iStat Menus, was I uninstalled it, and it stopped.

I tried to figure out how to override or disable it, but never got very far.
It's propbably a dconf setting but I haven't checked which one. It tends to avoid running into issues on <input type="text" /> boxes in Firefox. But not more advanced things like Google Docs or embedded text editors. (eg Rust playground)
To add to this marvellous shortcut I will now be using very frequently:
Right click on the file in finder, then hold the Option key and you'll see the copy command change from "Copy [file]" to "Copy [file] as Pathname".
You can drag the Spotlight search bar anywhere on your screen. But if you want to restore it to the default position long tap/click on the Spotlight icon in the menu bar and it will snap back.

LaunchBar (alternative to Alfred, free trial): https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html
Instead of wasting time dragging and dropping, just press Cmd+Down Arrow to open the files (usually images are associated with Preview.app as the default application). Cmd+Down Arrow in the Finder opens (navigates one level down) whatever is selected: folder or single file or multiple files. Cmd+Up Arrow goes one level up from the current folder.
> Path Finder: A fancier version of Finder with multiple panes and various other advanced features.
Path Finder has a few nice features, but its updates and update schedules haven't been great. A cheaper alternative that also supports network transfers is Forklift.
I believe this does something different: it opens each photo in its own Preview window.
It’s basically the difference between passing multiple arguments to one “Open” invocation, and passing one argument apiece to multiple “Open” invocations.
If the images are in a folder, though, you can “Open With” the folder with Preview.
It is mentioned in the article immediately after Path Finder. The author says they prefer Path Finder for its good column view, which they find no alternative offers.
Terminal actually has it, View -> Split Pane or Command-D - and has had it for ages (as well as tabs).
On one server I run a few 'production' apps, but I also have a tab for 'random shit' and a tab for 'nginx config'. the production tabs are bright red, and are usuall split pane with the left showing logs, and the right giving me a terminal with app-specific commands (and in the current app home dir).
But then on another server I have two separate windows, and each window deals with one of the two 'concerns' on that server.
It's a massive help in managing all my panes/sessions.
If you're looking for a fix and more advanced customization you could try Soundsource: https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/
Make your Cmd-Tab do everything you've ever wanted it to do that it currently can't:
- You've already mentioned a big one
- Related would be remembering which Finder window goes to which "desktop" or screen
- Another is no (permanent) custom width per folder or auto-sizing column view. Fixed width is either wasting space or not showing nearly enough. I always end up manually resizing the last/active column.
- They recently added shared iCloud folders as well. Guess what, you can't see any filenames in column view because they repeat "Added by {Owner}" for every single file/folder which takes way too much space. I guess an icon/avatar was too much. Heck, even that is questionable since we have a sidebar with all the metadata.
I don't know the technical aspect of it but they seem to have also locked down macOS which resulted in TotalFinder calling it quits. Not sure how viable it is for alternatives nowadays. I have no need for split/ftp Finder alternatives, just need a polished column view.
Cmd + Shift + 6 takes a 'screenshot' of your touch bar!
(But let it be said that the touch bar should be deprecated. I want my Fn keys back.)
Circa Snow Leopard, I used "mondomouse" but that is abandonware and does not work.
I tried to use "dwellclick" but it's not a good solution.
I think there are now some new accessibility settings that actual enable a proper focus follows mouse in Mojave and later, but I don't have anything later than El Cap installed and am unable to test that ...
It makes Finder's title clickable to be able to copy or change the current path, just like Windows' explorer.exe.
I use Alfred quite a bit as well, though not as an alternative to Spotlight. I use it for automations via workflows instead. Turning on or off VPNs, sending files, converting date times, reading 2FA codes off my Yubikey, etc. I haven’t found a great Linux alternative for this. Ideally I’d have something that lasts me reuse my workflows that I’ve written.
Not mentioned in the article is Better Touch Tool[1]. I’ve had this since the original Intel MBP and it’s been incredible for making the fancy trackpads and touch bars actually useful. I’ve got a Pomodoro timer, Dark Mode toggle, Do Not Disturb toggle (also automated by ControlPlane), and lots of simpler app shortcuts.
I responded to someone else about ControlPlane a bit further down, but I have it automate things like DND when I start a call from my Mac.
For me, an immediately useful tip was hiding user login for Git user.
I would add the following tips to above article:
# System resource usage
* USE Method: Mac OS X Performance Checklist: http://www.brendangregg.com/USEmethod/use-macosx.html
# Emacs users
* For Emacs users with their config in version control, I would recommend downloading the latest Emacs.app version 27.1 instead of using Aquamacs, because Aquamacs has a bunch of customizations that do not play so well with original Emacs.
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
# Printing
* If you have Acrobat or Acrobat Professional installed, add an Adobe PDF printer from System Preferences > Printers and scanners, so you can make better PDF files by printing from any application.
* You can save anything as PDF by choosing "Save as PDF" from the dropdown on the lower left corner on any print dialog.
* Open CUPS web UI by opening the following URL in a web browser:
http://localhost:631/ http://localhost:631/printers/
You may need to enable the web user interface by issuing:
cupsctl WebInterface=yes
Warning! Be sure that you are behind NAT or a firewall so as not to expose the web UI to internet!
