Less than a day has passed since the release of the first beta version of macOS Mojave. There is always excitement before testing new Apple operating systems, and we decided to find out what new developers have added to the next macOS.

Below are 31 new features you'll find in the new macOS Mojave.

1. Dark mode

This is one of the most notable innovations of the updated operating system. The offer to change the interface to a dark color scheme appears at the first authorization, immediately after installation.

Opinion: It looks good, but the eyes are very tired. In addition, there is no normal optimization of some standard applications yet. The same iTunes looks miserable.

2. Color accent

Two menu items appeared at once Settings -> General. In appearance, you can change themes (light / dark), and opposite the field color accent there are 8 new colors at once. When they are selected, individual interface elements, such as drop-down lists, change.

3. Dynamic wallpaper

macOS Mojave has three new barrow wallpapers. In addition, there is a special mode of changing wallpaper depending on the time of day.

4. Screen saver sorting

Changed the display of splash screen sorting in macOS. Instead of two columns now one.

5. Random selection of screensavers

In order not to get tired of the same screensaver in the standby mode, the developers have added an item for randomly selecting the screensaver display style.

6. Recent program indicator

The Dock has a new section. The apps you use the most are listed there.

7. Additional settings for Mission Control

To facilitate access to open windows, you can use the advanced settings for keyboard shortcuts.

8. New privacy settings

In macOS Mojave, you can restrict apps from accessing certain parts of the system. There are restrictions for the camera, microphone, system administration, advertising, automation, and program data.

9. Prevent viewing notifications when blocked

An additional menu item has been added to hide notifications when the Mac is locked. There are two options available: always and "when the Mac is unlocked".

10. Gone are the “extra” social networks

11. New item Software updates

12. Parental control

One of the key features of macOS Mojave is Parental Control. With the new OS, you can remotely control your child's MacBook or iMac.

That is, instead of a new account on one Mac, an account is created for the remote computer.

13. Quick Actions for Files: Passwords

Apple has promised to make it easier to interact with system files. Now in the context menu, when selecting multiple files, you can set a password to open.

When you select this item, you must specify a password. Then the system will pack the selected files.

14. Quick Actions: PDF

By selecting several pictures and tapping on the PDF menu, in a split second you get a glued PDF file. The system does not ask any additional questions.

15. Quick Actions: Rotate

In the new OS, you can rotate a hundred or two photos in one fell swoop. This is done from the context menu without additional manipulations.

16. Sort files on the desktop

In order not to clutter up the desktop, in macOS Mojave, Apple has provided an algorithm for sorting into stacks. This item is selected from the context menu. By specifying the sort type, all files of the same type (pictures, videos or documents) are combined into one "pile".

One tap on such a stack opens access to all files.

17. Sorting stacks of files

Created stacks of files can also be ordered.

18. Advanced Continuity Mode

You can embed photos and videos taken directly on the iPhone into regular applications. The screenshot above shows what this menu item looks like in the Notes app.

19. New display mode in Finder

A new display mode has appeared in the regular Finder file manager. It is much more convenient than the outdated CoverFlow from previous versions of the OS. Users got access to extended EXIF ​​information about pictures.

20. Quick functions for photos

21. New screenshot editor

One of the most noticeable changes is a completely redesigned screenshot editor. After pressing the key combination CMD + Shift + 4 (3), you can select several options for taking a screenshot:

• highlighted area
• selected window
• full screen
• video recording of the selected area
• full screen video

Additionally, there are settings for the delay time of the timer for creating a screenshot and a folder for saving. The finished picture is placed in the buffer zone in the lower right corner of the screen for a few seconds.

22. All-new Mac App Store

This is another major achievement of Apple developers. An all-new Mac App Store with a complete redesign, detailed descriptions, video demonstrations of application functionality, topic sections and improved navigation.

Perhaps this is one of the main reasons to upgrade the system.

23. Increased security

MacBook Pro owners with the Touch Bar now don't have to worry about having their fingerprints stolen. Apple has restricted app access to the fingerprint map. The less known the developer, the smaller the fragment of the print image he will receive.

24. Improved Preview

25. Dictaphone

It's done! macOS Mojave has a simple voice recorder for quickly adding audio notes.

26. Shares

The functionality of monitoring stocks and securities has been moved to a separate application. Looks good. In addition, there is news that contributes to changes in prices for certain positions.

27. Application Home

For owners of "smart" devices compatible with Apple's HomeKit, a gift was delivered. The Home app is now available on macOS. You can set automation scripts and add new devices. Everything is like on iOS.

28. Application News

Apple bought news aggregators and publications for a reason. The company was preparing to launch its own news product. The corresponding application appeared in macOS.

29. Group FaceTime calls

Fans of the ever-buggy Skype can exhale. With the release of iOS 12 and macOS Mojave, users have access to group video conferencing. The maximum number of participants is 32.

30. Access blocking in Safari

Apple has decided to fight Internet resources that abuse access to users' personal data. Now in the settings of the Safari browser there is a harder blocker. Any site that wants to access the microphone, camera, or geolocation will be required to request permission from the user.

31. Site Icons on Touch Bar

It seems that this is the only innovation that has affected the Touch Bar. The favicons (logos) of the sites you open in Safari will appear on the Touch Bar display. Of course, if the webmasters of a particular resource set them up.

Perhaps this is all that the new macOS Mojave operating system can boast of.

The new OS from Apple has come to replace High Sierra. An update that includes dark theme support and an updated Mac App Store, like iOS 12, will be available for download later this year.

Years later, Apple heard the pleas of users and added dark theme support to macOS Mojave. It will be activated automatically depending on the time of day, changing the design of the desktop.

A new feature called Stacks will tidy up your Mac screen by automatically organizing files of the same extension into neat groups. The Mac App Store, long without significant updates, finally received an App Store-style redesign in iOS 11. The app store now has a completely redesigned interface and a rich selection of editorial content to help you choose useful programs.

One of the key visual innovations of the macOS Mojave desktop operating system is . The background changes depending on the time of day, for this, geolocation services are involved. Everything would be fine, but in the standard set of OS there are only two options for dynamic wallpapers. Today we will tell you how you can expand this list.

In 2005, OS X introduced a powerful search tool called . Apple's proprietary search technology has been gradually improved, and today Spotlight can be used not only to search for files and applications, but also for arithmetic calculations, word translation and dozens of other non-standard actions. Some of these operations can be performed using hotkeys. Let's dwell on this in more detail.

One of the most significant innovations is the debut of a dark mode for all applications and elements in the system. The option turned out to be really useful - in addition to the aesthetic component, the load on the eyes at night also decreased. If you often use the dark theme, it makes sense to customize it for yourself. And today we will tell you how to do it.

The desktop operating system macOS Mojave has brought many useful innovations. Among them are dynamic desktop wallpapers that change depending on the time of day. These screensavers look really impressive and impressive. True, there is one thing - it offers users only two such screensavers. Especially for our readers, we found a few more dynamic shots.

Every year macOS gets better and better. This year, a whole carload of small but very useful features was delivered. And each of them makes the work even more efficient. In some places, the system has become more convenient just a little bit, and in some things it has made a huge leap forward. We drove to figure out what new macOS Mojave brings.

Why Mojave?

The Mojave is a desert that is mostly located in the state of California. In addition, she spread her sands to the territory of Utah, Nevada and Arizona. The desert got its name in honor of the Mojave tribe, which, by the way, lives on the reservation to this day.

But why the desert?

Everything is simple here. Starting with macOS 10.9, the company uses the iconic places of the state of California in the name of its operating systems. Here is a brief excursion into history.

• Mac OS X 10.9 or Mavericks. The OS is named after a beach in northern California. The place is highly valued by surfers for its house-sized waves.
• Mac OS X 10.10 or Yosemite is a national park in California with high sheer cliffs.
• Mac OS X 0.11 or El Capitan is the highest mountain in Yosemite National Park. Altitude 2307 meters, a favorite place (illegal) for climbers who do not use any insurance other than a bag of chalk.
• macOS 10.12 or Sierra is named after the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Starting with this revision, the traditional name of the desktop system "Mac OS X" has changed to "macOS", that is, in the spirit of iOS, tvOS and watchOS.
• macOS 10.13 or High Sierra is named after another park located in the same place in California.

And now, very soon the new operating system will see the light - macOS 10.10 Mojave.

glitches

Fortunately, there is not much to tell here, so we will immediately put an end to the unpleasant and proceed to the sweet.

For the most part, macOS Mojave is very stable right now, in beta. However, there are still some nuances. I'm telling.

After any operations, the previously opened Finder window may be inactive for the cursor. However, switching to Mission Control (a quick view of all windows open on the desktop) brings the dull window back to life.

After taking a screenshot of the selected area (Cmd + Shift + 4), barely noticeable traces of its frames remain on the desktop. In fact, complete nonsense, which, moreover, is only noticeable on desktops painted in solid colors.

On this, in fact, that's all. Let's start learning new chips of the system.

Dark theme

The usual desktop for the first time and officially meets us with dark colors. Of course, everything looks very fresh and interesting.

But personally, it didn't work for me. I explain why.

White font on a dark gray or just a gray background (depending on the open application or background) looks at least unusual. As planned, the new interface should help to focus on the most important thing, on the content.

However, with a rich white font, which ripples in the eyes, at least in the same Safari, this somehow does not fit very well.

In addition, not all even branded applications received the appropriate colors in black design. Standard utilities like notes, TextEditor and so on have darkened. But for some reason there is no Pages, although this is a proprietary application. In the general range of darkness, he looks just like Katya from Ostrovsky's Thunderstorm. Maybe you need to wait for an update?

Updated! And there is. Shortly after the official release of Mojave, a dark update for Pages and other editors arrived.

Personally, I have not yet decided whether I like the new look of the interface or not. But, in any case, this is something new. In addition, now we have a choice - to return the classic, light theme or stay on the dark side.

Dynamic Desktop

The focus of the new OS is the Mojave Desert. Accordingly, it is now possible to install dynamic wallpapers on the desktop - a beautiful dune of the same desert and another gradient picture.

Not to say that this feature has become a direct revelation, but it still has its own tsimes. It's great when, after working all night, you roll up the window and find soft, morning light on the sand. Looks just amazing!

Stacks

Let's be honest, everyone has a bunch of junk on their desktop of varying degrees of usefulness. There is neither desire nor time to understand all this disgrace. And for such lazy users (like me, for example), the Stacks function comes to the rescue.

We right-click on the desktop, click on "Collect into piles" and a dozen or two files are instantly organized according to a predetermined property. Stacks can be formed by the date of creation of files, their modification, their extension, tags, and so on.

I clicked on the pile, it spread to the nearest space of the desktop. I clicked again and everything turned back.

Comfortable. Gracefully. Nicely.

Advanced view mode

Quick View on Mac is a very simple and amazingly user-friendly tool. I selected the file, pressed the spacebar, it immediately opened in the viewing window in full screen. Moreover, it works with almost all types of files, including RAW formats. Windows never dreamed of such a thing.

In macOS Mojave, this tool has been pumped to the fullest. We meet even more convenient functions.

Quick Edit

This applies to all major file types, including pictures, music, and video clips. It’s especially cool when you don’t need to look for some additional application to quickly trim the audio file and send the passage where you want.

But there is also a nuance. You can't trim an MP3 file. But the songs bought in iTunes in M4A format are easy.

There are many more tools available for images: crop, rotate, font, draw. However, it is strange that quick editing does not work for own files - HEIC. Let me remind you that this is a new file type created to reduce the amount of memory occupied without losing the quality of pictures from the iPhone.

The video is like this. MOV, MP4 - files can be edited right in the viewing window without launching either iMovie or Final Cut Pro X. But MKV is still not recognized by the system at all.

By the way, quick editing works even for PDF files. You can put comments on them, make notes on top of the document, save and forward to contacts from the address book.

And in one viewing window, you can work with several files at once.

Advanced Screenshots

Comparing Windows and macOS, one can illustrate the superiority of the latter in a very simple way. Let's take at least the regular tools of both systems for screenshots.

On Windows, there is the most inconvenient Scissors application. You first need to find it in the wilds of the menu, then run it, then go to the screenshot capture area, then select a save location, name and file type - in general, complete darkness.

Well, pressing PrintScreen and then inserting the picture into Paint is generally some kind of bug from the late 90s.

In macOS, everything is made a thousand times easier. The combination Cmd + Shift + 3 saves the entire screen to the desktop. And Cmd + Shift + 4 is a separate piece. No need to search, select, save anything - everything works quickly, gracefully, without headaches.

However, in macOS Mojave, screenshots have been pumped to the fullest. Let's see what's new.

Keyboard shortcuts work the same as before. Only now a screenshot thumbnail appears in the lower right corner and waits for you to click on it for additional editing. How in . Crop a screenshot, overlay text, mark with a marker - all this can be done at once, without looking up from current affairs and without special applications.

Owners of Macs with a Touch Bar press a special button on the Touch Bar, after which a special screenshot menu appears. Here you can take a screenshot of the entire desktop or a neat snapshot of a separate window, record a video of the screen and configure other settings.

Those who do not have a Touch Bar need to remember only one keyboard shortcut - Cmd + Shift + 5. Very convenient and always at hand.

Continuity Camera

A small, but sometimes colossally useful feature.

Here is the situation.

In five seconds, a printed document can be turned into a PDF file on your Mac desktop. Without a scanner!

Right-click on the desktop, select "Import from iPhone", then "Scan Documents".

We take the iPhone, on which the camera is already open, take a picture of the document and save it. In a moment, our document in PDF format appears on the desktop. Fast, convenient, without unnecessary gestures and third-party software.

The most interesting thing is that I did not connect the iPhone to . Everything started up by itself, because inside each device was my Apple ID. This is it, the very magic of Apple.

The same scheme works with photographs. Filmed on iPhone, and the picture immediately hit the Mac's desktop. Comfortable!

FaceTime for 32 people

This feature appeared in iOS 12 (wrote) and, of course, it was to be expected on desktop computers. By the way, in FaceTime you can talk from any device, even from the Apple Watch. Of course, there will be no pictures with your face, but it will be possible to participate in the discussion by voice.

metadata

As it was before.

You can get complete information about any file by simply selecting it and pressing the Cmd + I combination. However, this is not very convenient, because the extended info was opened in a separate window - each file had its own. And then you had to close each individually.

As it is now.

All information is available directly from the Finder when viewing files in Gallery mode. Right from here, you can quickly edit multimedia files, turn them into a PDF document, and so on.

New Applications

With the release came a voice recorder. It also appeared on the Mac. In a new, stylish, comfortable design. Of course, all recordings are instantly synchronized between all devices via iCloud.

Dictaphone

In addition, you can now control your smart technology right from your laptop. The Home app is also available on the desktop.

Stocks is another utility that has made its way from iOS to the desktop.

Updated app store

With the release of the Mojave Desert, developers have completely redesigned the Mac App Store for computers.

Now the programs are sorted into weekly collections, top charts, and also divided into categories: creativity, work, development or games. For example, the "sixth civilization" or the next release of Lara Croft are already available for purchase.

The most worthy copies of the store have reviews with detailed descriptions, screenshots and short stories from the developers themselves. Moreover, all this is available in Russian now, at the beta stage.

Yes, there is still no such abundance of applications as in the same store on iOS. However, the current reimagining of the Mac App Store is a good thing in itself.

Safety

The new OS puts even more emphasis on security. So, no application will gain access to either the camera, or the microphone, or other important and personal nodes of the system until you give the application the appropriate permission.

Like the Safari browser, it now provides websites with simplified technical information about the system. For example, site owners will see that they were accessed through the Safari browser, but it is not known from which system. A useful option for buying the same tickets through aggregator sites. The latter like to inflate prices for macOS users. It is assumed that this audience is more solvent.

This information can be configured in the "Protection and security" section, in the "Advertising" tab.

By the way, Safari finally has a display of small site icons - favicons. To enable the display of icons in Safari, you need to go to your browser settings, go to "Tabs" and check the box next to "Display website icons in tabs."

Don't forget about passwords. When you sign up for an account anywhere on the web, Safari immediately generates a complex password. After confirming it, it automatically enters the iCloud Keychain and becomes available on all devices with an Apple ID. In addition, the system's built-in tools can track repeated passes and replace them with new ones.

big one more thing

The new desktop apps, Stocks, Voice Recorder, and Home, have been ported straight from iOS with UIKit, a unique development among developers. In 2019, this technology should become available to a wide range of developers.

A very cool idea, which, I sincerely hope, will blow up the built-in Mac App Store with thousands of new and familiar applications from smartphones.

Are looking forward to…

Compatibility

The new OS is not available on all Macs. So, iMac, Mac mini are now left behind, iMac, Mac mini are older than those that were released in mid-2012. Of course, the update can be installed on iMac Pro 2017 and MacBooks starting from the 2015 generation. Mac Pro 2010 and newer is also in business.

The rest, including me and mine, will not be able to officially install the operating system - direct hands and a special patch will be needed. However, owners of computers on Core 2 Duo processors are definitely in the span. Sorry.

macOS Mojave- the next annual update of the operating system for Apple computers. . This time, some of the devices were unhooked and left forever on High Sierra. Let's take a look at what Apple programmers couldn't (or didn't want to) adapt. Surely something very resource-intensive!

I installed macOS Mojave on a MacBook Air and tested all the features. Therefore, here is not a set of facts from a press release, but personal experience with live screenshots and recommendations.

Dark theme

When you first launch Mojave, you will be prompted to choose between two system display modes. In the future, themes can be switched in the settings:

System Preferences -> General -> Appearance.

Pay attention to the new option "Color Accent". Previously, you could choose from two colors, but now from 8. When enabled, all switches and controls will predominantly be this color.

All stock apps support dark theme by default. Elements in programs are dark. Other apps may also add support in updates. Here's what the settings look like with the dark theme enabled:

And here is Finder:

Dynamic Desktop

AT System Preferences -> Desktop & Screensaver. Now you can set the desktop, which will change depending on the time of day. Only the Mojave Desert is currently available. During the day you will have a sunny picture, then by the evening it will dim and at night there will be a night desert on your desktop.

Order among files

macOS Mojave introduced the option to clean up the inside of a folder using stacks. The point is to automatically bring order to the chaos of files.

I'll give you an example. Here is such chaos on your desktop:

Right click on the desktop. We select grouping by stacks, well, “by date of creation”.

We instantly get the following picture on the desktop:

The files are sorted into virtual folders. For example: “previous 30 days”. If you tap on it, then all the files that have been created in the last 30 days will fall out.

New look in Finder

The Finder has a new way to display files. A-la preview with a description of the file. There are options for quick editing. For example, for JPEG files, you can rotate the picture without any applications (Halleluja!) or add markup, or save the file as a PDF.

If possible, instead of a file description, the Finder shows the full metadata of the photo.

PDF files have the ability to flip pages without going into any application (even View). Probably, the options will expand, but now it looks like a very convenient and necessary add-on for Finder.

Working without opening a file

In High Sierra and older versions of macOS, selecting a file and pressing the space bar meant a quick view of that file. In macOS Mojave, the option has been upgraded and now when you press the spacebar, a quick file editing window opens.

For example, for a PDF file, the following options open in the right corner:

The view button sends the file to the corresponding application, and the felt-tip button opens quick editing:

Improved screenshot handling

Now after you take a screenshot, it appears in the lower right corner (like in iOS). You can click on it and the screenshot editing window will appear. I remind you that you can take a screenshot of the screen if you press CMD + Shift + 3 at the same time (CMD + Shift + 4 - make a fragment).

If you press CMD + Shift + 5, then macOS Mojave has a new menu for working with screenshots and recording video. You can make a delayed video / screen and change the location where screenshots / videos are saved. It is also possible to hide/show the mouse cursor.

Completely revamped Mac App Store

Visually, it has become more pleasant. The menu on the left was made, the store itself became lighter.

Prices for applications, unfortunately, have not decreased.

Take Photos from iPhone Directly on Mac

If the subject of the photo is close to the computer, then you can use the new feature that allows you to take a photo that instantly moves to the desired application. The feature is currently supported by Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Mail, and will be supported by other programs. It works like this. In Pages, go to Edit->Paste from iPhone or iPad. Here we select “Take a photo” or “Scan documents”.

Where the cursor appears, there is an invitation to take a photo. At this time, on the iPhone (it must be linked to the same Apple ID as the Mac), the camera application opens. Take a photo and press the “Use photo” button and it instantly appears in the Pages document.

Looks very comfortable. Especially for those who constantly insert scanned documents.

Group video calls in Face Time

Well, here I simply don’t have anyone to test with, so I’ll insert information from the official Apple website. Up to 32 people can FaceTime at the same time. The one who takes the floor automatically comes to the fore. Both users on macOS Mojave and users of iOS 12, which, as you understand, also have this function, can take part in the conference.

New standard applications in the system

News - the application is in the system, although I have a Russian account (apparently, there are different rules on macOS and iOS. There is no application under a Russian account on iOS). The program contains news. Now you can add only sources in English. The application does not understand the Russian language.

Stocks- a special application to follow stocks and stock news.

Home is a smart home monitoring application. All devices in my apartment do not have intelligence, so I did not test the program. Trouble-trouble…

Dictaphone- an application that Convenient program for voice notes. Unlike the application on iOS, here I did not find the ability to edit entries.

Safety

Apps now request access to the microphone, camera, and other data. Exactly the same as it is done in iOS. For example, the first time you create an Evernote voice note

Apple also promised improved tracking protection for you in Safari. Let me explain what it is. Oftentimes, many ad systems track your behavior and what you search for in order to serve you relevant ads. In fact, this is such an unobtrusive surveillance. Mojave Safari will stop spying attempts without your permission. Apparently, in some cases, if the site asks for unnecessary information, the browser will warn you about this and ask for permission.

macOS Mojave suggests using stronger passwords than before. When registering or updating passwords on different sites, there will now be an even longer and more resistant to hacking password, consisting of more characters.

Other minor changes

In addition to the quick insertion of photos from an iPhone (which I wrote about above), a quick insertion of emoticons was added to the mail.

Siri now controls HomeKit-enabled devices. She knows more than before. But even now Siri in Russian is still very, very stupid. She still does not know more than some elementary things. As an example, Siri somehow answers about the World Cup in Russia, but they don’t know about the NHL final.

If you want to see site icons in browser tabs, then enable the option. AT Safari->Preferences->Tabs->Show website icons in tabs.

macOS Mojave experience

Although there were no performance announcements from Apple, I got the feeling that macOS Mojave has slightly speeded up the MacBook Air. The same Safari began to open pages much faster. Perhaps this is due to the fact that during the reinstallation something was cleaned in the system.

There are bugs in the first beta. As a rule, there are much more bugs in macOS than in iOS. And since the work of many people is somehow connected with the computer - I I do not recommend installing macOS Mojave beta 1 on work machines. For example, Evernote is crashing for me now. The computer hung once (reboot helped) ... Before that, for several years, the laptop hung only a couple of times. In other applications, no special bugs have been noticed so far, but this does not mean that they do not exist. :)

If you look at all the new features, it is striking that Apple has not implemented any extraordinary things. The usual standard update. All chips are insignificant and any computer would pull them. It is all the more incomprehensible why the company unhooked some of the devices from the update.

Is this some stupid marketing? Then why isn't any feature so catchy as to upgrade a laptop that runs great on macOS High Sierra for it?!

In general, thanks for the innovations of Apple. For unhooking part of the devices of 2009-2011 of the company BIG and fatty minus!

Thank you all for reading! :)

Friends, it's time to update! This summer, Apple presented a new version of the system for Mac, and now you can download it. It's called macOS Mojave 10.14, after the Mojave Desert. The place is not the most picturesque, Apple used to prefer prettier mountains, but oh well.

Who can deliver and where to download?

All users of macbooks of fresh versions can be updated. The system can be installed on Mac Mini, iMac, MacBook Air or Pro 2012 or newer. You can download it from the link or request an update in the App Store.

Don't forget to make a backup using Time Machine. What this feature is and how it works, you can read on the Apple website.

Dark theme

There is even nothing to comment on here: everything looks great, it will definitely be more pleasant to work at night. The theme changes automatically, taking into account time zones and sunrise and sunset.

Convenient work in folders

Previously, simple actions with photos required launching the Preview application. Now we have added a new advanced Gallery format, it will save time. More precisely, this is the old Cover Flow format, but now it has been finalized. I hope it really became more convenient, I tried to use it earlier, but I never got used to Cover Flow.

Directly from the folder, you can put a watermark on the photo using Automator. I'm lazy and for this I use the Photo Bulk application, now you can forget about it. Maybe.

And in the preview mode (when you press the spacebar), you can edit the video by cutting off extra pieces. A great idea for anyone who does at least a little editing.

Sort data on the desktop

If you are used to creative mess, then innovation is not for you. But if you like to keep clean, then you will like sorting by different types: photos, videos, audio, presentations, etc.

One line

The updated App Store also supports the "dark theme", at the same time the design of the application has been updated.

Safari takes screenshots and captures videos. Previously, you had to run QuickTime for this.

The smartphone will protect the computer - if you move away from the computer and take the phone with you, then the Mac will understand that the owner is far away and you need to block access to applications where personal data is stored. To mail, for example, or to photographs.

Safari monitors… sites. If the browser understands that you are on a site where your data is stored without your consent, then it will warn you about this.

You can take a photo on your iPhone, and the photo will immediately appear in the app on your Mac. It is convenient when you need to scan a document using the phone's camera, but there is no special device at hand.

Everything new in macOS Mojave

macOS Mojave adds new features inspired by advanced users and useful for everyone. Dark mode helps you focus on your work. The "Stacks" function - clean up your desktop. There are also three new built-in apps and more in the redesigned Mac App Store.

If you have been using the macOS Mojave beta for a long time, then share your impressions, how is it for you? In general, it makes sense to write something like the experience of using the new version of macOS, is it interesting to read such material?
