You’re not imagining it. Over time, macOS collects system junk, background processes pile up, and memory gets clogged. Even powerful machines like MacBook Pro or Mac Studio can slow to a crawl.
Whether your MacBook is running slow after update, booting takes forever, or apps are lagging badly, there’s a quick Terminal fix that cleans and refreshes system processes — instantly.
✅ Step 1: Open Terminal
- Press Command (⌘) + Space to open Spotlight Search
- Type Terminal and hit Return
✅ Step 2: Paste This Command
Copy the following line and paste it into Terminal, then press Return:
Terminal
Loading...What does this command do?
This built-in command:
- Releases inactive memory that apps forgot to free
- Clears file system cache
- Makes your Mac respond faster immediately
🎉 That’s It — Your Mac Just Got Faster
You didn’t need to install an app, reboot your Mac, or wait hours.
Just one command, and your system performance should feel noticeably snappier.
💡 Tip: If your Mac slows down after a few days of uptime, run this weekly — especially after heavy usage (Zoom, Final Cut, Chrome).
