Mac Dock separator
How do I add more separator to the dock? I have one between the trash bin and the rest, but maybe to add one or two more, where can I do that?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1

To add a space on the left side of the dock, open terminal and copy:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
For the right side of the dock, the command would be:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
Repeat that for as many spaces as you want to appear. Each time will give you one space. If you want to add two spaces on the left and one on the right for instance:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
Enter
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
Enter
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
Enter
None of this takes effect until you restart the dock. To do this, while still in terminal, enter
killall Dock
Hit Enter.
That's it. If you want to turn it into a little app to make it easier just use automator. Here's an example.
