How to Take a macOS Window Screenshot Without the Shadow Background

I take a lot of macOS app screenshots for my blog.

The default screenshots look beautiful — whether it’s the entire screen, a selected portion, or a selected window.

One special thing when you capture a macOS window is that it automatically adds a soft shadow around it. It looks good. It looks polished.

Most of the time, I don’t need to remove it.

But in some cases, that shadow really takes up extra space. So I started wondering: is there a way to take a macOS window screenshot without the shadow?

Apple Logo  Character Emoji Keyboard Shortcut

You’ve probably noticed that I regularly write about Apple products, especially the Mac and iPhone.

I use the Apple logo quite often, but I keep forgetting the keyboard shortcut. So I decided to write it down here.

I’m not talking about the apple fruit emoji (🍎). I’m talking about the Apple logo () — the company that makes the Mac and iPhone.

If you’re in a hurry and don’t want to bother remembering the keyboard shortcut, here’s the Apple logo character ready for copy and paste:

Fix Drag and Drop Issue in the Finder App on macOS

Hi, this is a quick blog post for today.

I suddenly experienced something weird when trying to drag and drop using the Finder app.

I used to be able to drag and drop documents into apps on my MacBook Air M4. Yesterday, I was doing my usual workflow to reduce image file sizes before uploading them to the internet using the ImageOptim app. It usually works normally: select the image files, click and hold using the trackpad, then drag the files to the ImageOptim app.

How to Set Your MacBook Screen Resolution to 16:9

MacBooks don’t use a 16:9 aspect ratio, including my daily driver, the MacBook Air M4.

Most modern MacBook displays are 16:10, which is great for productivity. But sometimes you just need 16:9 for certain tasks.

There are many such cases, for example:

Recording tutorials
Testing how something looks on standard monitors
Matching an external display output
Or simply preferring the classic 16:9 layout

I record a lot of videos, especially screencasts, for my YouTube channel. YouTube itself recommends videos in a 16:9 resolution, such as 1920×1080 or 1280×720.

How I Set a Manual Battery Charge Limit on MacBook (Like iPhone 80% Limit)

author@junian.dev (Junian Triajianto) — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 04:00:00 +0700

UPDATE 2026/03: You can now set battery charge limit manually without any 3rd-party app! Just update your macOS version to Tahoe 26.4 and set the limit manually through System Settings.

I work from home, play at home, and rest at home. So naturally, I like keeping my devices plugged in because I rarely go out.

The problem? I don’t like keeping my battery at 100% all the time.

On newer iPhones, Apple gives you a manual charge limit. You can set it to 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%. Super simple. Super useful. You’re in full control.

How to Open a Blocked macOS App ("Apple Could Not Verify" Fix)

author@junian.dev (Junian Triajianto) — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0700

Have you ever downloaded a macOS app from the internet, double-clicked it, and then seen this message:

App Not Opened

Apple could not verify app is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

And the only options available are:

Move to Trash
Done

No “Open Anyway.” No helpful button. Just… nothing useful.

Apple could not verify app is free of malware

This happened to me when I tried opening the old Mendeley Desktop app. macOS blocked it to “protect my Mac,” which sounds scary. But sometimes it just means the app isn’t notarized the way Apple wants.

How to Disable Liquid Glass on macOS Tahoe (macOS 26)

When Apple introduced the new Liquid Glass look in macOS 26 (Tahoe), my first reaction was, “Wow… that looks fancy.”

My second reaction after using it for a few days: “Okay, I can’t see what’s written there.”

Don’t get me wrong—it looks modern and sleek. But sometimes I just want my UI to be solid and easy to read, especially when I’m working long hours.

If you feel the same way, here’s how to tone it down—or straight up disable it.

Apple AirTag Battery Replacement

Recently I’ve got some notifications from my iPhone that some of my AirTags batteries were almost depleted.

What you need is just a new CR2032 battery and your thumbs.

Press the metallic side with two of your thumbs and rotate it counterclockwise.
