One of the common issues that macOS users face is the clutter that can accumulate on their devices over time. Just like a messy garage or office desk, a cluttered Mac can slow down daily tasks and make it difficult to find what you need. However, with a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily declutter your Mac and improve its performance.

Clearing up the desktop is a good place to start. Many users tend to dump files and shortcuts on their desktop without organizing them properly. To clean up your desktop, you can use built-in options in Finder. Simply click on a blank area of the desktop, open the View menu, and choose the Clean Up option to snap everything into a grid. You can also use the Clean Up By menu to sort items by name or date. Another useful feature is the Use Stacks option, which organizes files of the same type into stacks that you can easily access.

To tidy up the interface, focus on the menu bar and the dock. Limit the number of apps that appear in the menu bar by adjusting the settings for each individual app. You can also use third-party tools like Bartender to customize the look of the menu bar. In terms of the dock, you can adjust settings in System Preferences to hide it when not in use, remove unnecessary shortcuts, and adjust its size.

Removing temporary files is essential to free up space on your Mac. Use the Storage settings in System Preferences to see which files are taking up the most room. macOS will provide suggestions on how to free up space, such as removing Apple TV content or moving items to iCloud. Additionally, check individual apps like Photos for settings that allow you to reduce the quality of locally stored files.

Uninstalling unused apps is another effective way to declutter your Mac. Use the Storage settings to see which apps are taking up the most space, then remove them by dragging them to the trash or using official uninstall tools. You can also prevent apps from starting up with macOS by adjusting the Login Items & Extensions settings in System Preferences.

By following these tips and regularly decluttering your Mac, you can improve its performance and make everyday tasks more efficient. A clean and organized system not only looks better but also functions better, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
