macOS 27 Golden Gate makes it clear when apps are sneakily running in background
SMRTR summary
Apple's macOS 27 Golden Gate directly addresses apps like Google Gemini that secretly keep running after users quit them. The update changes the Dock indicator from a black dot to a gray dot for background-running apps, and hovering over the icon displays a clear warning. Users can also stop these processes entirely through System Settings under Login Items & Extensions.
