Auto Hide Your Dock In Macos

By admin ·

If you’re using macOS Big Sur or later, then you can no longer use the easy keyboard shortcut to auto-hide your dock. See the steps below to find out to toggle on and off auto-hide in macOS. (It’s still easy!)

If you’re using a macOS prior to Big Sur

You can change this option in System Preferences or you can simply type cmd + option + d from anywhere. This shortcut will toggle your dock between permanently displayed and hidden.

If you’re using an older macOS, you could also auto-hide the dock using terminal or remove multiple menu bars and docks.

1

Open “System Preferences”

From your Mac’s Launchpad, open up your System Preferences.

2

Open “Dock & Menu Bar” options

Find your “Dock & Menu Bar” icon near the top of System Preferences and select it.

3

Check “Automatically hide and show the Dock”

When you check “Automatically hide and show the Dock”, your dock will now auto-hide by default. If you move your mouse to your dock’s location, however, it will appear.

Auto-hide Menu Bar on Mac

You can check the “Automatically hide and show Menu Bar” selection to auto-hide the menu bar in macOS Big Sur or later.

Something else that’s cool you can do is add spacers to your dock!
