HomeKit is Apple’s home-automation standard. The presence of this app on the Mac means there’s no more figuring out how to transfer your recordings from the phone to the computer they appear on the Mac automatically. Voice Memos is the iPhone’s traditional audio-recording (and basic editing) app. When you click a stock’s name, you see the latest news about that company, brought to you by the same headline engine that drives News. Some of the sections are curated by Apple editors, chosen for fairness and neutrality other sections are For You, algorithmically determined based on your interests. It culls articles from hundreds of publications, online and off ( The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Esquire, NPR, HuffPost, and so on), and then presents them in gorgeous, ad-free magazine-like layout. And, maybe more important, all four sync wirelessly with your phone, so the news (or stocks, or voice recordings, or home-automation settings) are identical on all your Apple gadgets. All four take great advantage of your Mac’s large screen. But if you do, this enhancement is awesome.įour apps that have been on iOS for years are now full-blown Mac apps. Not everyone needs to capture photos and videos of the screen every day. An Options menu lets you choose whether or not the cursor should be included, whether or not you need a timer (a few seconds to get the screen set up properly), and where you want the resulting screenshot sent.

It offers buttons for capturing still images of your screen (whole screen or a portion) and also for capturing videos of your screen activity (whole screen or a portion).

You’re spared the whole business of finding and editing and sending the shot after creating it.Įven better: The new keystroke Shift-5 opens a master screen-capture utility panel. If you click it before it disappears, you can open it up, edit it, crop it, mark it up, delete it, or share it. When you capture the screen image using the age-old keystroke Shift-3 (whole screen) or Shift-4 (portion of the screen), it now works as it does on iOS: It shrinks down into a thumbnail in the corner of the screen.
