Doing much, much more

macOS Ventura comes with a plethora of useful utilities that make using your computer more pleasant or make you more productive when you use your computer or both. This chapter gives you a peek at a handful you’re likely to use that are not covered elsewhere in this book.

The first item, Calculator, is in your Applications folder (Go ⇒   Applications; keyboard shortcut ⌘  +Shift+A). All other items in this chapter are in your Utilities folder (Go ⇒   Utilities; keyboard shortcut ⌘  +Shift+U), which you’ll find inside your Applications folder.

You don’t need to remember which utility lives where, because you can run them all from Launchpad. Start typing the utility’s name and then click the appropriate result. Or if you want to do things the hard way, open Launchpad and then click the Other folder to drill down to the icons for these utilities and some more esoteric ones.
