‌macOS Tahoe‌ features Apple's Liquid Glass redesign, which extends across all of the new updates this year. Apple also brought the Phone and Journal apps to the Mac for the first time, and introduced a new cross-platform Games app.

With the update, Apple overhauled how Spotlight works, enabling new functionality that allows it to be used to complete all kinds of actions like sending emails without having to open up an app. There are also changes to a number of apps, including Messages, Safari, and Notes.

All of the new features that are included in ‌macOS Tahoe‌ are outlined in our dedicated roundup.

‌macOS Tahoe‌ is set to launch this fall.

We are getting closer, the last beta has been pretty much flawless for me, glass has been toned a bit from my perception, and it's a good thing.

Too bad window corners are still too rounded for my tastes.

Yeah, I just don't get it. Way too rounded. I've submitted via Feedback Assistant an idea to put in the Accessibility options a way to reduce such. Would like for others to do the same.

I did the same. I suggested having a window control sizing option that, based on the size, would reduce the rounded edges as well.

It’s a bad idea to turn accessibility options into an area where you can customize the OS for non-accessibility reasons

They should just fix the main design. The corners are too rounded. It looks bad. Fix it. Simple as that
