Mac OS Mojave Developer Beta: A Deep Dive into New Features and Enhancements

One of the most exciting aspects of the Mac OS Mojave developer beta is the new Apple News app, which offers a beautifully designed user interface that allows users to pull up their favorite sites and read the latest articles. The app pulls news from the Apple News up relevant to each stock, making it an excellent resource for those who follow the stock market. For example, if you click on Apple, you can see the breakdown over time and new selections underneath, which you can read without leaving the app.

Another feature that is sure to please users is the Voice Memos app, which offers a seamless experience similar to iOS 12. Users can record notes or lectures, as well as voiceovers, and the app syncs with their Mac OS and iOS devices. A notable feature of this app is its ability to switch between recording from an external USB mic and switching back to the microphone of your Cinema display when you unplug it.

In addition to these new features, the Mac App Store has been completely redesigned using what Apple has learned from the improved app store in iOS 11. The new design has a much cleaner look compared to High Sierra, making it more pleasant for users to navigate. The app follows the same design as the News and Stocks app with categories on the left-hand side and the Discover tab for editorials on apps.

The Mac App Store also features Creative Collections from Apple, which are still in beta but offer a unique experience for users. While there may not be too many collections available at this time, Apple has done enough to get people using the app store again. For many users, it simply sits there waiting for updates.

When it comes to privacy and security, Apple is always at the forefront of protecting user data. In the new Mojave update, there are more options available in the Privacy settings within System Preferences to control what apps have access to on your Mac. Users can choose which apps have approval to access their camera or microphone, as well as things like their mail database or messages history.

One feature that is sure to please users is enhanced tracking prevention features in Mojave, which help you sleep better at night. Normally, when you browse the web, the characteristics of your device can be used by advertisers to create a digital fingerprint to track you. But with Mojave, Safari now eliminates this by only sharing a simplified system profile that allows advertisers and their tracking bots to tell MacBooks apart.

Another feature that is designed to protect users' privacy is intelligent tracking prevention in Safari. This feature keeps social media like buttons, share buttons, or comment widgets from tracking you without your permission. Additionally, Mojave automatically creates auto fills and stores strong passwords for you within Safari, so next time you sign up for a service, it will suggest something better than your usual birthday password.

The iCloud keychain is also available in Mojave, which keeps all of your devices up-to-date by storing existing passwords that have been reused. This feature allows users to easily update their passwords while browsing the web or using other apps.

In addition to these features, there are many little tweaks and updates in Mojave that are worth mentioning. For example, Safari now supports favicons in tabs, making it easier for users to identify open websites at a glance. The Mail app also allows users to add emoji in messages and suggests the right mailbox to file it in.

There are also several redesigns within Mojave, such as the larger profile picture and removal of the background blur on the lock screen. Another notable feature is AnnaLynne finder, which allows you to keep folders on top of your desktop. Additionally, Mojave supports the HTC Vive Pro VR well, making it an excellent option for users who need a high-performance device.

Finally, there are several language options available in Mojave, including UK English, Australian English, Canadian French, and traditional Chinese for Hong Kong. There are also improved maps for China, which make navigation much easier.

That's all for this video, but we're not done yet! One feature that I think is making me crave it more is the dark mode in Mac OS Mojave.

course is dark mode well they have had the option to tend the menu bar on the dock down to a nice dark hue now in Mac OS Mohave a dark mode turns the lights out on almost everything well it does look cool it actually does come in handy apple pitches it has a dramatic new look that helps you focus on your world making it a destruction free environment while that is true I don't find that the toolbars and menus stop me from what I was doing previously personally I find it more useful as just being able to bring the overall brightness of the screen down when I'm working late into the night being able to have my videos at full brightness and up everything else nice and dark is relief on the eyes once you've enabled dark mode under the general tab in System Preferences all of the built-in apps are just to the dark theme look and get finder Safari or iTunes and dark mode with white text on a black background can take a minute or two to adjust to but it's really nice to have a visual change there's currently no third party apps that I know of the support the slick dark theme just yet but developers can add this in whilst we're talking about the toolbars and dock you may be wondering why these three icons are separated at the bottom well just like in iOS 11 on the iPad it shows the three most recently used apps that are kept in your dock while a lot of people will find this handy if your particular about what apps are visible you're able to turn this off within the system preferences going hand-in-hand with dark mode my Harvey also adds a time shifting desktop wallpaper that acts almost like a time-lapse changing to your current time of day it's a really interesting feature that makes the Mac feel more dynamic and can help you wind down with the day by the way if you wanting to get all of these dynamic wallpapers or find out how you can automate a similar effect on any Mac I'll leave links in the description below where you can find download links and a full tutorial on cult of muncom now this next one is one of my favorite features and I feel a lot of people are going to appreciate it usually I end up placing all of my files in a tidy folder as you can see here but now you can stack all of those loose files on your desktop into piles which expand when you click on them they're organized into groups by their formats by default but you can arrange them by date added created or modified on top of that you can sort them by adding tags or with other metadata such as their date or size you can also scrub through the stack to see all of the different thumbnails by placing two fingers on your mouse or trackpad the same way you scroll a web page as with most new builds of Mac OS Apple has added more features to finder to help you manage them well find your files we're all used to the icon list and column views in finder but now there's a new gallery view which gives you a huge preview of your files not only does it make it easier to visually distinguish your files quickly but it gives you a whole ton of information with the metadata on the right-hand side here you can see any other information stored within that file and you can customize what metadata you see by right-clicking and choosing show preview options just below the metadata there's new quick action editing options right within finder so if it's a photo you can mark up rotates password-protected converts into a PDF or if it's a video not only can you watch it right within the finder window but you can also trim and rotate it so now you've got no excuse for not rotating your upside-down iPhone videos one of my favorite things about finder is quick look which allows me to get a bigger glimpse of a file just by hitting the spacebar we're now in Mohave you can edit and Markel right within quick look I can crop photos add text drawing them or even trim or rotate videos or music if you're constantly taking screenshots on your Mac then you'll be happy to see that Apple has added some new tools and react a lot more like iOS so if I take a screenshot here you can see it shows up in the bottom right-hand corner if I leave it it will go ahead and save to my chosen destination or if I click on it it then brings up this new window where I can easily annotate drawings circle anything I want to draw attention to arrows I can easily add a signature which if you have a trackpad you can now use to write sets out which is pretty darn cool or you can use your webcam this come on in as before I can rotate the image crop it or just like an iOS delete it straight away or go ahead and share it without saving your copy also if you use previews to take your screenshots there's a new toolbar where you can choose two screenshots part or all of your screen but now you can even record your screen from here rather than using QuickTime at the end of the bar you can see there's a list of options so you can change the default location of where screenshots and recordings save whether you have a timer and add the ability to show the mouse cursor when taking a screenshot continuity which is added all the way back in Mac OS Sierra has had a few updates to where you can use your iPhone to take a picture or scan of documents and have it automatically sent to the app you're working on on your Mac for example here are notes I can click on the photos button and I've got two new options to take a photo or scan a document as soon as I choose one it opens up the camera app on my iPhone I can snap a pic decide if I'm happy with it and it goes straight to the Notes app as well as notes this also works and pages mail key notes and numbers I've been using Mohave for two weeks now and is surprising how useful this feature is FaceTime is finally becoming the true Skype replacements with Mac OS Mohave as you can now jump on a FaceTime call with up to 32 people you can invite anyone to join a call at any time and the same call can include both audio and video callers there are four new native apps in Mojave again bridging the gap between Mac OS and iOS in fact these apps have actually been ported from iOS thanks to the new UI kids so expect to be seeing third-party iOS apps making their way to the Mac next year when the kid is offered to developers but the first of the new Apple apps is the news app it syncs with all of your selections and sources from the news app on your iPhone and iPad here on the left hand side you've got all of your channels and suggestions just like the iPad version of the app you can pull up your favorite sites and read all of the latest articles and one beautifully designed app then this the stocks app not one I'll personally use but I know it's something that a lot of people follow so all of the stops are on the left hand side and just like the new iOS 12 redesign it pulls news from the Apple news up relevant to each stock so if we click on Apple you can see the breakdown over time and the new selections underneath which you can read without leaving the app next up is the voice memos app again just like iOS you can record notes or a lecture or even a voiceover if you wanted and of course like all of these apps it will sync with your Mac OS and iOS devices the ones that think I've not been able to find in here that I thought would be an obvious one is an input selection so if you plug in an external USB mic you can choose which one you want it I did plug mine in to test it out and it automatically chose to record from the external mic and switches back to the microphone of my cinema display when I unplug it last but by no means least is the home app so you can now control any of your home and Kate enabled devices break from your iMac or MacBook or Mac Pro which is super convenient for me as I no longer need to pick up my iPhone to make changes and end up getting destructed by Instagram or another app it works exactly the same again like the iOS app but I am more than glad to see it here on the Mac as well as new apps the Mac App Store has been completely redesigned using what Apple has learned from the improved app store from iOS 11 it's got a much cleaner look compared to High Sierra making it much more pleasant a navigator it follows the same design as the news and stocks app with having all of the categories on the left-hand side as well as the discover
