As well as releasing the second beta of iOS 12, Apple also released their macOS 10.14 Mojave Beta 2. Apple released the first beta at their Worldwide Developer Conference a couple of weeks ago.
The release of the macOS 10.14 Mojave Beta 2 comes two weeks after the release of the first beta. The software will bring a wide range of new features to the Mac when it lands later this year.
New Features in macOS 10.14 Mojave
The new beta of macOS 10.14 Mojave is now available to download for developers and it comes with a range of new features. Included in the software are the new Dark Mode, Dynamic Desktops, Stacks, and more. The software will land on the Mac later this year. We do not have a release date for the software as yet, although we are expecting it to land sometime in September or October.
Dark Mode is one of the most anticipated features in macOS Mojave. It offers a dramatic new look that helps you focus on your work. The dark color scheme works system-wide, including on the built-in apps that come with your Mac. This mode is especially beneficial for those who work in low-light environments, as it reduces eye strain.
Dynamic Desktops are another exciting addition. These are time-shifting desktops that change throughout the day based on the time of day. For example, your desktop wallpaper can transition from a morning scene to an afternoon scene and then to an evening scene, providing a more immersive and visually pleasing experience.
Stacks is a feature designed to keep your desktop clutter-free by automatically organizing your files into neat groups based on file type. For instance, all your images, PDFs, and documents will be stacked together, making it easier to find what you need without sifting through a messy desktop.
Additional Enhancements and Improvements
Beyond these headline features, macOS Mojave includes several other enhancements aimed at improving the overall user experience. The Finder has been updated with a new Gallery View, which allows you to scroll through big previews of your files and see all of their metadata. This is particularly useful for photographers and designers who need to quickly browse through large collections of images.
The new screenshot tool in Mojave is another noteworthy improvement. It provides a simple, unified interface for taking screenshots and screen recordings. You can capture the entire screen, a selected window, or a specific portion of the screen. After capturing, you can immediately mark up and share the screenshot without having to open a separate app.
Security and privacy have also been given a boost in macOS Mojave. Apple has introduced new data protections that require apps to get your permission before accessing your camera or microphone. Additionally, Safari now has enhanced Intelligent Tracking Prevention to block social media “Like” or “Share” buttons and comment widgets from tracking users without permission.
The Mac App Store has been redesigned from the ground up, featuring a new look and rich editorial content that makes it easier to find great apps. The new Discover, Create, Work, Play, and Develop tabs help users navigate the store and find apps that suit their needs.
