| If the Spotlight is indexing data on your Mac, the mds and mds_stores will cost a relatively high CPU at that duration | |
| 1. Turning off indexing on all drives: `sudo mdutil -a -i off` | |
| 2. Stop `mds` service: `sudo launchctl stop /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist` | |
| ## Additional steps: | |
| - Use [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) | |
| - Disable Spotlight hotkey: System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts… > Spotlight > Uncheck “Show Spotlight search” | |
