If you’ve missed the pre-Lion Calendar (to some of us it will always be iCal), then you’re in for a treat in Mavericks: It’s back to gray toolbars and windows for Apple’s calendaring app. You said stitched leather has had its day in the sun in Calendar. You can quickly visit those links, scroll through them à la Reading List, or even reshare them yourself. Forget about viewing links in your Twitter client let Safari collect them for you in Shared Links.Īdditionally, a new Shared Links section of the sidebar collects links that friends have shared on Twitter and LinkedIn. And Top Sites has been redesigned to feature a look more reminiscent of Google Chrome’s starting page it also lets you add pages from your bookmarks, and easily rearrange the sites to your liking.

Safari’s Reading List now features a continuous scrolling option that lets you continue on to the next item in your list when you’re finished with the current one, as well as a one-click adding option. (The latter incorporates OS X Mavericks’s aforementioned power-saving features, as well as improvements to JavaScript and other performance systems.) What else is new with Safari?Īpple’s browser got a handful of tweaks, mostly to features introduced in Safari 6 and to under-the-hood performance systems. As such, in OS X Mavericks, apps such as Safari should gobble up less memory (especially when they aren’t the frontmost programs) you should get longer playback of HD video in iTunes and your apps should consume less power when they’re in the background.įor more information, see our hands-on with iCloud Keychain. So, what are those under-the-hood improvements?Īpple demoed a number of enhancements of a more technical nature with names such as “Timer Coalescing” and “Memory Compression,” but they all share the same goal: making your computer more powerful without sacrificing battery life. Then, in the Finder, you can click the tag in the sidebar and see everything that has been assigned that tag, no matter where it has been saved you can also search for tags in the Spotlight field in the Finder.įor more information, see our hands-on with Finder tags. When you save a file, regardless if it’s on your Mac or on iCloud, you can assign it a tag or tags of your choosing.

Apple also added tagging capabilities to its file system. “dark linen” pattern will be pleased to find it largely absent from Mavericks: In its place, users will see a plain dark background.įor more information, see our hands-on with Finder tabs.

Mavericks still looks much like OS X Mountain Lion, though certain apps-Calendar, for one-have had their rich Corinthian leather stripped in favor of a more simplified design. What about the design? Will Mavericks have the same ‘flat’ look as iOS 7? Among the highlights are better support for multiple monitors and Finder tabs improvements to performance and battery consumption new Maps and iBooks apps and updates to Safari and Calendar. Mavericks has a mix of under-the-hood features, enhancements for expert users, and new capabilities.
