macOS Overview

macOS is a Unix-based operating system, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is designed to run on Macintosh computers, having been pre-installed on all Macs since 2002. Within the market of home computers, and by web usage, macOS is the second most widely used desktop OS after Windows.

macOS Mojave delivers new features inspired by its most powerful users, but designed for everyone. Stay focused on your work using Dark Mode. Organize your desktop using Stacks. Experience four new built-in apps. And discover new apps in the reimagined Mac App Store.

Desktop

• Automatically organize your desktop files by kind, date, or tag using Stacks.

• Rotate an image, create a PDF, and more — right in the Finder using Quick Actions.

Continuity Camera
