our valuable dock space.
Most importantly, in this article you will see some variations of useful, free menubar

Another way to see our remaining space is to use Get Info panel, but that will be much slower than

from plain text to image. This is very useful if you’ve different tasks at hand that need more than 1 clipboards.

It does so by periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk drive.

certain fixed time, Spirited Away hides the application automatically. It is, in effect, Spirited
