Apple’s macOS Mojave was made official at their Worldwide Developer Conference earlier this week. Apple has also released their first beta of the software to developers and now we have a video of the software in action.
In the video below we get to have a look at some of the new features in the new macOS, this includes the new Dark Mode, a new Mac App store, Desktop Stacks and more, have a look at the video below.
Key Features of macOS Mojave
One of the standout features of macOS Mojave is the new Dark Mode. This mode transforms the desktop to a darkened color scheme, which is easier on the eyes, especially in low-light environments. The Dark Mode extends across the entire system, including built-in apps like Mail, Messages, Maps, Calendar, and Photos. This feature is particularly beneficial for professionals who spend long hours in front of their screens, such as developers, designers, and video editors.
Another significant addition is the redesigned Mac App Store. The new store features a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easier for users to find and download apps. It includes a new Discover tab, which highlights the best apps through stories, collections, and videos. This redesign aims to improve the overall user experience and encourage more developers to bring their apps to the Mac platform.
Desktop Stacks is another innovative feature introduced in macOS Mojave. This feature helps users keep their desktops clutter-free by automatically organizing files into stacks based on file type. For instance, all images, PDFs, and documents will be grouped into their respective stacks. Users can also customize stacks based on other criteria such as date and tags. This feature is particularly useful for users who tend to save a lot of files on their desktop and struggle to keep it organized.
Additional Enhancements and Privacy Features
macOS Mojave also brings several enhancements to Finder, including a new Gallery View that allows users to scroll through large previews of their files. The new view is particularly useful for browsing through images, PDFs, and presentations. Additionally, the new Quick Actions feature in Finder allows users to perform actions directly from the preview pane, such as rotating images, creating PDFs, and trimming video clips.
Privacy has always been a priority for Apple, and macOS Mojave introduces new features to protect user data. The new operating system includes enhanced tracking prevention in Safari, which helps block social media “Like” or “Share” buttons and comment widgets from tracking users without their permission. Safari also automatically creates, autofills, and stores strong passwords for users, and flags reused passwords so they can be changed.
Another privacy feature is the improved data protection for apps. macOS Mojave requires apps to get user permission before accessing the Mac camera and microphone or personal data like Mail history and Messages database. This ensures that users have more control over their personal information and can prevent unauthorized access.
Apple is expected to release their new macOS software sometime later this year. The software should be released sometime in September or October. It looks like it will not support as many devices as the previous version, you can see a list of supported devices here.
In conclusion, macOS Mojave brings a host of new features and enhancements that aim to improve user experience, productivity, and privacy. From the visually appealing Dark Mode to the practical Desktop Stacks, and the redesigned Mac App Store, there is something for everyone in this update. The additional privacy features further solidify Apple’s commitment to protecting user data. As we await the official release, it’s clear that macOS Mojave is set to be a significant upgrade for Mac users.
