Hey MacBook lovers! As we enter a new year, it’s time to prepare our beloved devices for this journey. I know, most of you are thinking, “Oh, another system optimization article?” But this time, things will be a little different. We will talk about methods that even Apple doesn’t talk about much and most users overlook.
Grab your coffee, grab your MacBook and let's get started!
1. Activate Your AI Assistant
Yes, you heard right! MacOS now has an AI-powered assistant. But most users are not aware of it. This feature, which you can activate from System Preferences > Siri & Spotlight > Advanced Assistant Features, will give you a great productivity boost in 2025. You can automate many tasks, from file organization to calendar management.
2. Hidden Battery Protection Protocol
Anyone complaining that their MacBook battery is draining quickly? Have you heard about Apple’s new battery management system? By entering a special command sequence into Terminal (don’t worry, I’ll explain it step by step), you can increase your battery life by up to 30%. Here’s the trick: Activate your battery’s learning mode.
3. Super Fast Startup Mode
If you have time to make coffee while your computer is booting up, this method is for you. You can shorten your boot time by 3 times by activating the hidden "Fast Startup" mode of MacOS. And it does this without straining your RAM or processor.
4. Smart Storage Optimization 2.0
Are you tired of the message "My storage is full"? With the new generation storage optimization, you can not only get rid of unnecessary files, but also organize your files in the most efficient way by analyzing them with artificial intelligence. How? Thanks to a special application that I will explain in a moment.
5. Hidden Performance Mode
Let's talk about a hidden feature of the M series processors. Beyond the "High Performance" mode, you can activate the "Ultra Performance" mode. This mode remains hidden in normal use because it should only be used in certain situations. This is where the optimization script comes into play.
6. Multitasking Ninja Mode
Is your MacBook starting to heat up when you’re running dozens of Chrome tabs, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, and more at the same time? With the new “Ninja Mode,” you can manage your apps much smarter. This mode uses artificial intelligence to determine which apps should use how much resources.
7. Personalized Cooling System
Are your MacBook fans too loud? Or not working at all? You can reduce noise and achieve optimum performance by customizing the built-in cooling system. All it takes is a special terminal command and a few settings changes.
The most ergonomic product you can choose for cooling will of course be a stand. Double your working efficiency with a dual-angle portable and compact laptop stand !
So How Will You Do All This?
Here is a step by step guide:
- First, make sure you have installed the latest MacOS update.
- Don't forget to backup with Time Machine (yes, it's a classic but important one).
- Open Terminal (by typing terminal in spotlight).
- We will enter the necessary commands for each feature above in order.
Important Note: Be careful when making these settings and get professional support if you have any doubts. After all, your MacBook is a valuable investment!
Now, let’s get to the point: Most of these features are actually hidden deep within MacOS. Apple doesn’t enable them by default to maintain system stability. But when used correctly, they can really unlock the full potential of your MacBook.
