Have fun experimenting with your desktop’s new look!

Vibrant Folders: More Than Just a Visual Treat

Customization in Tahoe isn’t limited to widgets alone; you can now add a splash of color to your Finder folders. Transform your organizational style with color codes that speak for themselves. Simply head to System Settings > Appearance > Folder Color and select your preferred hue.

Spotlight has now become more powerful than ever. Integrated with the Launchpad app launcher, it provides an efficient way to manage all your apps. Press Command + Spacebar and further open new possibilities with Command + 1. Say goodbye to the traditional Launchpad and enjoy this intuitive addition!

Unlock Clipboard Management in Spotlight

Goodbye third-party apps! macOS Tahoe introduces an integrated clipboard history within Spotlight. Quickly access your copied items by pressing Command+Spacebar followed by Command+4. Never lose track of your important snippets again.

Call with Ease: The New Phone App

Handling calls directly from your computer is now doable with the macOS Phone app. This new feature allows smooth transitioning between calls and other tasks, much like having an iPhone on your Mac. Located in /Applications or via Spotlight, it’s a boon for multitaskers.

The Journal App: Capture Thoughts Seamlessly
