Hiding an Application Icon from Macs’ Dock
Do you have a mac? Have you ever wanted an application to be hidden from the dock, even when it’s running, but there’s no option to do so? Follow these simple steps and you will have a hidden application.
- Navigate to the application in Finder (Usually ~/Applications/)
- Right-click (or control-click) on the application and select “Show Package Contents”
- Open Contents/info.plist
- Find a line that looks like:
<key>NSUIElement</key>
- If it doesn’t exist, enter these two lines right before the </dict> tag:
<key>NSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
- Save the file and (re)start the program.
- You’re done!
