A crowded desktop display is a lot like solving a complex murder mystery. What you seek does exist somewhere, but it’s shrouded amongst irrelevant facts and misdirection.
Well, you are not Sherlock Holmes, and you do not have time to solve the mystery of where a vital client document is on your desktop.
Fortunately, in this Stupid Simple Mac Tips, we will be showing you a simple, efficient way to declutter your laptop by automatically hiding and showing your menu bar.
A simple step-by-step process
Your menu (or dock bar) will be visible at the bottom of your MacBook’s display.

Here’s how to do it:
- First, go to the main toolbar menu and click the Apple icon Then, select ‘System Preferences’
- From there, click the “Dock” icon
- Lastly, choose the ‘Automatically hide and show the Dock’ option
Not only does this declutter what is displayed on your desktop, but you do not have to waste time clicking back and forth to access the menu.
