Twenty Mac features most people never find
Mac 用戶必學 20 個隱藏功能！以前都不知道可以這樣用 😅｜塔科女子
About this video
Eighteen minutes for twenty features, and the list is genuinely buried rather than merely lesser-known: the emoji picker, the folder-size readout, AirDrop dragged into the Dock by its bundle path, a website given its own Dock icon, Apple Watch unlock, text lifted out of a photo, Game Mode, and trimming a video in QuickTime. Recorded in November 2023, on Sonoma.
The selection is better than the “hidden tricks” genre usually manages. Several of these are genuinely hard to find: AirDrop dragged into the Dock at 6:34 requires navigating to a bundle path inside the Finder and dragging the result out, which is not a sequence anyone stumbles onto.
The two Dock items are the strongest pair in the list and they are adjacent for a reason. AirDrop at 6:34 and a website at 7:35 are both answers to the same question — what should be one click away — and both end with something in the Dock that macOS does not offer you by default. Between them they make a case that the Dock is more configurable than its preferences suggest.
The middle block is where the list stops being about shortcuts and starts being about capability. Apple Watch unlock at 10:12, text recognised and translated in a photo at 11:03, a subject lifted cleanly out of an image at 11:56, an image converted and compressed at 12:51, a PDF assembled from images at 13:30 — five items that people routinely install third-party software for, all in Preview, Photos and the system’s own text recognition.
Game Mode at 14:48 is the one item that dates the video. It arrived with Sonoma, which had shipped six weeks earlier, so the list was current in a way that most of its competitors were not. Desktop widgets and video trimming close it out, and the video is honest about the sponsor read at the top by putting it in the chapter list rather than burying it.
What it covers
- The first chapter is a sponsor segment, not a feature — the twenty features start at 3:18.
- The strongest items are the two that put things in the Dock: AirDrop, reached through a bundle path inside the Finder, and a website given its own icon.
- Five of the twenty are image and text handling inside Preview and Photos, which is where macOS has quietly gained the most capability.
- Game Mode gets its own chapter, which dates the video — it arrived with Sonoma and is the only item here tied to one release.
Chapters
Chapter times are the creator's own list, published in the video description. It begins with the sponsor read, which is kept rather than edited out.
Apps in this video
No app page is linked. Every feature shown belongs to macOS — Spotlight, the Dock, split view, Apple Watch unlock, Photos, Notes, Game Mode — and no third-party app is named.
