macOS – The Graphic Mac

Grab This Free Alternative to Bartender App for macOS

I’m a huge fan of Bartender, the $15 menubar manager that, among other things, allows you to hide the icons for apps that live in the macOS menubar. A cluttered menubar drives me crazy, and so does not having control over the order of their appearance in the menubar regardless of how many there are.

But $15 may be a bit much for some people, particularly those who simply want to hide a few of the menubar icons and don’t need the other features found in Bartender.

Create Your Own Dynamic Wallpapers for macOS Mojave

While not a killer feature of macOS Mojave, Dynamic Wallpapers are a cool customization tool limited only by the fact that Apple only provides two, and offers no built-in way to create your own.

Dynapaper changes that.

Lock Your Keyboard for Cleaning

One of the quirks of owning a MacBook Pro is having this obsessive desire to keep the keyboard clean and free of dust, food particles, pet hair and other undesirable matter. Maybe it’s just me.

Cleaning the keyboard is doable on an external keyboard, but on a modern MacBook, it’s impossible. Why? Because touching any key either wakes the Mac from sleep or boots it up (if already shut down).

Take Control of Night Shift, True Tone & Dark…

Apple has given us Night Shift and True Tone. Both excellent apps to make using your Mac easy on the eyes. Then they announced Mojave with Dark Mode. The problem with all three of these awesome features is that they all work independently of each other.

Fix Blurry Fonts on Non-Retina Screens Running macOS Mojave

Among lots of other things Apple chose to abandon lately is a feature called Subpixel Antialiasing. It basically made fonts readable on lower resolution LCD screens. The thinner and smaller the font is, the more it needs the feature. For some reason, Apple chose to turn it off in macOS Mojave. But if you’re running a Mac hooked-up to a non-Retina screen, you’re not out of luck.

Increase Battery Life & Run a Cooler MacBook

If you have a modern MacBook or MacBook Pro that offers Turbo Boost —a feature that allows your MacBook’s processor to speed-up when under heavy load, it’s nice to get the speed boost, but it also heats up your Mac and drains your battery at a more rapid pace.
