# Add spacers to your macOS app dock to make groups

> Open term (or equivalent) and paste the following one-liner:

Published: 2020-10-13 · Topic: [macos](https://oozou.com/til-topics/macos) ([markdown](https://oozou.com/til-topics/macos.md))

Open *term* (or equivalent) and paste the following one-liner:

```
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'; killall Dock
```

When the Dock restarts, there should be a draggable *blank* space that you can move anywhere. Repeat to your heart's desire.
