Sometimes, you want a text app to be smaller so you can fit more content on the same screen. Conversely, you want the app icon to be bigger for more convenient usage. But until today, if you had a Mac computer, you had to pick the same text size as standard for all your applications. 

Not anymore. From macOS 14, you can adjust the text size of specific apps. So, for instance, if you want to keep the text small for Apple Mail but want a bigger text for Finder, here’s how you can do so.
