The MacOS Dock shows shortcuts to apps that either came with your computer or apps that you frequently use.  While this is useful, what if you could eliminate that and just show what apps are currently in use?  With this ‘hack’, it is possible.

Here’s how:

  1. Open Terminal (Finder > Utilities > Terminal).
  2. At the prompt, type the following.
  3. defaults write com.apple.dock static-only -bool true; killall Dock
  4. Close the Terminal Window.
  5. To bring back the old Dock, Type: defaults write com.apple.dock static-only -bool false; killall Dock
  6. That’s it.
