macOS Catalina: More enhancements 

  • Photos (above): redesigned browser to showcase your best pictures. This is very similar in look and feel to the redesigned iOS 13 Photos app.  Safari: features an updated start page that uses Siri Suggestions to select frequently visited sites, bookmarks, iCloud tabs, Reading List selections and even links sent in Messages. Mail: block email from a specified sender, mute an overly active thread and unsubscribe from commercial mailing lists.

  • Notes (above): brand new Gallery View, more powerful search and collaboration options. Siri Shortcuts: Apple is also bringing Siri Shortcuts feature to the Mac. Shortcuts enable you to create unique Siri voice commands that trigger actions in an app. Learn more about Siri Shortcuts. Approve with Apple Watch: One of the new security features enables you to approve many security prompts on your Mac simply by pressing the side button on your Apple Watch. This is available on all Macs that have a T2 security chip.

  • Reminders (above): redesigned with a new user interface to create, organise and track reminders. System Preferences (below): a refresh in layout, with Apple ID and Family Sharing at the top.
