It used to feel way better, that's the issue.
Tahoe is a massive regression in my personal experience (16GB here). So many random bugs and menu bar pop-up slowdowns (how is the system menu bar this unresponsive?).
Spotlight has gotten so bad, I can literally count the time it takes between typing the app name and the result showing up in the dropdown. Ended up switching Spotlight to Tuna.
- gyomu 8mo agoOh my god, yes. Spotlight on Tahoe is a joke. Why will it so often not display any results at all, even for system apps like Safari or Terminal? You’d think those would be in an always available cache guaranteed to always show up instantly? So many questions.
- elxr 8mo ago> Why will it so often not display any results at all, even for system apps like Safari or Terminal? I've experienced this too, even after giving spotlight multiple shots months apart. For your sanity, I say just stop using spotlight. Don't let Apple steal your valuable waking hours with their crap QA.
- throwaway290 8mo agowhat to use instead to launch apps and find stuff?
- elxr 8mo agoTuna (https://tunaformac.com https://tunaformac.com), like I mentioned earlier. Made by a really creative solo dev, minimal, and not as complex as raycast. It's a night and day difference compared to the pile of garbage Spotlight.
- throwaway290 7mo agoTuna looks super cool But I'm sure there is some explanation but when I launched an app using tuna I got a standard macOS security notification "Tuna.app was prevented from modifying apps on your Mac" Why a simple launcher needs "App Management" permission ?
- dntrkv 8mo agoI’ve had issues like that in the past, had to clear the cache for the spotlight index or something like that. Fixed it right away. Not sure if you’re facing the same issue.
- samat 8mo agoI ended up downgrading to Sequoia. Day and night difference! My air m2 16GB is snappy again! And settings app does actually work!

- noname120 8mo agoFor some reason Alfred is also a *lot* slower on Tahoe. I can often wait a whole second after pressing the shortcut before the bar appears whereas on Sequoia it was instant.
- bartvk 8mo agoI wonder if there's actually something else with your OS. Have you tried wiping it, and starting again by clean? Yes, it's the Windows solution. But I haven't experienced this at all.
