You can search for the terminal in Spotlight, or find it under the Utilities folder in your apps. To add this spacer, open a terminal window on your Mac. Again, this is all about adding some organization to the dock that it will encourage you to actually use it.
This isn’t for novice users, but it is simple enough as it just adds a spacer to your dock so you can separate out your apps based on whether they’re for work, school, or personal. Rather, you’ll have to use Apple’s command line tool, known as Terminal. Our last tip related to the dock is one you won’t find in the system settings.

Put system preferences in the dock for quick access to settings Arif Bacchus/ Digital Trends Just head over to the Apple menu, choose System Preferences> Dock & Menu Bar, and then uncheck the option to show recent applications in dock.
It should be the go-to place for the apps you actually use on a regular basis, not just random recent apps you happened to open.įortunately, you can remove those recent apps from the dock with one simple setting. Having a cluttered dock is one of the things that leads to not actually using it as it was intended.
