Jumping from an app to Finder isn’t a difficult task, as you can usually select Finder from the Dock at the bottom of the screen or press Command + H to Hide the app entirely. But hiding an app won’t necessarily take you straight to the desktop if you have multiple apps open at once, and viewing Finder on top of an app isn’t quite the same as being on the desktop itself — no direct Macintosh HD access, for example. Fortunately, there’s a trackpad gesture for that, too.
- Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner and select System Preferences (System Settings in macOS 13 and up).
- Scroll through the menu and select Trackpad towards the bottom and just below Keyboard.
- Select the More Gestures tab, then scroll down and find Show Desktop (it should be at the bottom of the menu).
- Turn the toggle next to Show Desktop on.
With Show Desktop on, put your thumb and three fingers on the trackpad, then spread them apart — keeping your thumb separate and your three fingers grouped. This will immediately move all apps out of the way and jump to the desktop. To return to the app you were using, perform the same gesture in reverse (i.e., with your thumb and three fingers separated, “pinch” them all together).
