SURPRISING THINGS YOU CAN DO ON YOUR MAC
Light up your party
1 The Music app (or iTunes in previous versions of macOS) offers a psychedelic light show that responds to the sounds your Mac is playing.
Hit command+T to start; it’ll cycle through different modes to keep things fresh. While it’s playing, press? (with or without shift) to show key shortcuts that you can use to change the patterns, including M to switch modes and P to shift the colour palette. You can also press A to add more branches to the patterns or S to subtract. Press I to show or hide track info. In Window > Visualiser Settings, you can switch to the Classic Visualiser from the original iTunes. Again, try A and S.
To really chill out, connect your TV or projector.
Keep secrets
2 The keychain is where macOS stores confidential data like passwords and security certificates.
You can also use it to keep secure notes.
