Mac out of Memory? Disable Dashboard

Originally posted:  September 26, 2014  Br1an6

Has your mac ever out of memory ? Does your Mac run super slowly, sometimes turning your cursor into that darn spinning ball?  It may be because you have used up your memory.



So I decided to disable my dashboard in order to free up some system resources! However, using the terminal every time it’s very exhausted. Why not use your “Automator” to make your life better? I wrote a simple shell script FlipDashboard.workflow.

Just download and unzip it. click on it and convert to “Service”. Then click run. Just that simple.

And there you have it!


——optional——

You can even set any application that you want to have this service.



Also, you could set a shortcut in your System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts


Enjoy!
