macOS Sequoia is here, or at least most of it. Apple Intelligence won’t be ready for the official macOS 15 release and can be expected in October at the earliest. In any case, there are still quite a few other features worth talking about.

Window managers have become commonplace due to the lack of a built-in window tiling feature, but things are about to change. It’s now possible to drag windows to the edges and corners of the screen to arrange them into layouts, something users have wanted for years.

Aside from single-window actions, you can also quickly arrange multiple apps from either the Window menu or the green window button. The feature works well and is very intuitive, if not quite as advanced as third-party alternatives.

The new iPhone Mirroring utility lets you see the contents of your phone’s screen on your desktop and grants you full control over it. The feature works seamlessly, and your mobile device stays locked while it is active.

Your iPhone notifications can now also be seen on your desktop together with your Mac ones. This is great if you want to avoid looking at your phone every time you get a random notification.

The Passwords app now serves as the default password manager in macOS, and it’s a huge improvement over having to view the contents of your keychain in System Preferences.

It’s a relatively basic password manager, but it has every essential feature most users will need. Autofill is supported, working seamlessly in Safari and via the context menu in any other browser or app.

Safari is now able to extract highlights from pages and generate a summary and table of contents. These features sound great in theory, but they don’t seem to work on almost any website at the moment.

The video viewer works great, thankfully, and it makes it much easier to focus on a page’s media content or view videos in picture-in-picture mode while you’re busy with something else.

The lack of Apple Intelligence at launch is a bit of a disappointment given how much importance the company’s AI technology had during Sequoia’s previews.

It certainly sounds promising, given how well it looks to be integrated into the OS, allowing you to manipulate and generate text and images effortlessly. We’ll have to wait and see if it’s as capable as promised.

macOS Sequoia provides some considerable improvements to productivity and built-in apps, and it’s certainly a worthwhile upgrade. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a little longer to see how Apple Intelligence will change our experience with the OS.
