These are the main features of macOS Mojave

The new version of macOS Mojave is now available to all users after see how iOS, watchOS and tvOS passed us in terms of updates released by Apple as these were released last week.

But now we have with us the new version of macOS Mojave and therefore we are going to see what are the main features of this new version in a small article. Many users have been using the public beta versions and therefore already know the news, although there are also many users who will be released today so this summary of some of the new features added will be great.

We begin by saying that it is a version that it is quite similar to the previous version macOS High Sierra, with several new features added in terms of system functionality and obviously improvements in performance and general security. In short, we want to say that there are no major changes (as has happened with the rest of Apple's OS) although it is important to be updated and enjoy the new things that have been added to the system.

The new dark mode is really a dark mode

One of the demands that all Mac users have been making for a long time is the implementation of dark mode. In this case the important thing is not that the application bar and the dock have been added to dark mode, all system and native Apple apps add this dark mode and therefore it is a great change. This option is available from the system preferences.

Presentation by Stacks comes to macOS Mojave

LThe Battery feature will clear our Mac desktop organized Putting together the files that are related to each other, let's make them of the same format. With Stacks we can group files by type: images, documents, spreadsheets, PDF and others. You can also organize files by date or by tags. To see the files or documents we simply pass two fingers over the trackpad or one over the Multi-Touch mouse and we will see all the files, when we press we expand the content.

Automatic strong passwords

With macOS Mojave Apple wants us to feel more secure and ensuring the security of our passwords was one of the goals. Safari automatically creates, fills in and stores strong passwords for you. Also, mark existing passwords that have been reused in Safari preferences so you can easily update them.

A revamped Mac App Store

An application store with airs similar to the one we have on iOS. Now we can read the articles, see in more detail the applications that are presented and watch videos that can convince us to buy or download an application. Everything is somewhat more organized and visually improved so that the user feels comfortable browsing the app storeNow all we have to do is get Apple to get the most important developers back to the store and boost it as much as possible like iOS.

Bag, Voice Notes and House

There are three new applications and personally the one I most expected was Casa. With the arrival of this app we can manage all those HomeKit devices through Siri or the app itself that we have at home, office or anywhere. All this already available on iOS for a while. Stock Exchange and Voice Notes are apps that we already know from iOS as well and that are added to the native ones in macOS Mojave.

Better screenshots

The new macOS Mojave adds the new Screen Capture utility. Simply by pressing Shift + Command + 5 appears a new menu that includes new screen recording tools and options to, for example, set a start timer, display the cursor, or even choose where to save images. When we make a capture, an animated iOS-style thumbnail appears in the corner, if we leave it there, it will be automatically saved in the place you have selected and we can also delete it, drag it directly to a document or click to add notes and share it instantly, without the need to save a copy.

Improved quick view with editing options without the need to directly access the Preview application, it is another important improvement in this version. We also have completely or almost, the photo metadata and these provide us with key data of any file. The Preview panel allows you to see all the metadata of the file you want at any time and we can customize it so that only the ones you choose appear.

All are simple but effective improvements in this new version of macOS Mojave, so do not delay the download too long and enjoy the news released.
