So this is an excellent question for a start. Not nearly enough can be disabled through the GUI-tools available. Audio related scenarios being the most common. Especially in circumstances or environments that require a maximum of CPU power, minimal latency or where users have to make do with what hardware they have.

In the hope that the following is enabling to disable.Īpple-Bloat is such a common concern, it should have its own trademark registered.

(For reasons we will not go into here it doesn't make much economical sense to upgrade 8 GB RAM + SSD). Clearly stuff like 'CloudPhotosConfiguration' is unnecessary bloat. Just the absolute minimum set needed to run the OS. I'm looking for a minimal configuration: no crap like iCloud, iTunes etc. This is not a duplicate I did research manpage/docs on launchctl, launchd, Yosemite/Sierra whatsnew guides, AskDifferent, SO,, many Mac enthusiast blogs/forums and many other sites for over a month now see comments below for examples of the many Google keywords searches I tried also, the answer is very MacOS-version-specific.
