Every fix in MacFixes
28 small fixes for things macOS gets wrong or leaves out, by part of your Mac. Add only the ones you want. Missing one? Request it — we build it.
Sound
Bluetooth off during sleep
Stops headphones connecting to a sleeping Mac, and turns Bluetooth back on when you wake it.
Mute all microphones
One shortcut that silences every mic, with a clear sign when you're muted.
Output per app
Music on the speakers while your call stays in your headset.
Output switcher
Jump between outputs with a shortcut, and turn the volume down when headphones disconnect.
Stop Music opening by itself
Pressing play no longer launches the Music app when you didn't ask for it.
Volume per app
Turn one app down without touching the rest, or boost a quiet one past 100%.
Windows
Maximize without a new Space
The green button fills the screen instead of hiding the window in its own Space.
Quit protection
Hold ⌘Q a moment to quit, so a slip of the finger never closes everything.
Quit when the last window closes
Clicking the red button on an app's last window quits it, so it isn't left running in the background.
Window snapping
Drag a window to an edge or use a shortcut to fill halves, thirds and corners.
Clipboard
Clean links
Strips tracking junk like utm_source from links you copy.
Clear clipboard automatically
Empties the clipboard after a while, or when your Mac sleeps or locks.
Clipboard history
Your recent copies — text, images and files — one click away. Kept in memory, never passwords.
Cut and paste in Finder
⌘X and ⌘V move files in Finder, like on every other computer.
Paste as plain text
A shortcut that pastes without the fonts and colours from where you copied.
Mouse
Double-click filter
Ignores the accidental double clicks a worn mouse button produces.
Linear scrolling
Every wheel notch scrolls the same distance, however fast you spin it.
Mouse side buttons
Back and Forward buttons work in Finder, Safari and other apps.
Smooth scrolling
Gives a clicky mouse wheel a smooth glide, with adjustable speed.
Keyboard
Displays
Everyday
Alerts
A heads-up when your disk is nearly full, the battery is low, or something is maxing out the CPU.
Cleaning mode
Locks the keyboard so you can wipe it without typing gibberish.
Colour picker
Pick any colour on screen and copy it as HEX, RGB or SwiftUI.
Copy text from the screen
Select any area and copy the text in it, even from images. Works offline.
Keep awake
Stop your Mac sleeping — until you switch it off, for a set time, or while an app runs.
Menu bar readouts
Battery time, CPU or memory, right in the menu bar.
Quick toggles
Dark mode, hide desktop icons, eject disks and empty the Trash, in one click.
