Setting Up My Mac Mini M1 (Apps, Settings & Tips)

All the settings I customize on every new Mac I setup and some of my favourite apps.

I show you how I setup a new mac (M1 Mac Mini), as well as some mac tips and tricks from the basic settings to some more advanced hidden features, and my favorite productivity apps.

If you just got a new mac - maybe an M1 MacBook Pro or an M1 Mac Mini - welcome to the club! This macOS setup guide is just what you need.

And even if you already have a MacBook for some time, you might learn a thing or two to power up your macOS experience.
