Seen by many as the future of PC gaming, Vulkan is an open-source API that promises better graphics performance and easier multi-platform development. Initially, Apple decided to drop Vulkan and focus all its energy on the Metal API, but recently the Khronos Group and Valve released MoltenVK, a third-party tool to allow bring Vulkan games to. Shamus (1982) mac os. This move has major ramifications for the future of Mac software. All iOS apps are developed on macOS, but even veteran iOS developers can find it a difficult transition to writing macOS software. Using Apple's as-yet-unnamed approach, it should be much easier to bring iOS apps over to enrich the Mac.

macOS Mojave is here, and can be downloaded directly via the Mac App Store.

Making the Mac More Mac-Like

The release is a bit of a weird one. In some ways, Mojave doubles down on what makes the Mac the Mac, with a lot of new features for those who want more out of the Finder, such as Desktop Stacks, which is a new way to keep things tidy on the Desktop, by arranging them by file type, creation date and more:

Cover Flow is dead; long live Gallery View. Which is pretty close to being the same thing:

Finder also includes a new feature named Quick Actions. You can see them in the bottom right corner of that screenshot. In fact, they are accessible from any preview pane in Finder. Here's a bit from John Voorhees' review:

Quick Actions are a new type of system extension for manipulating files from the Finder's Preview pane or the Touch Bar. Mojave has Quick Actions to Rotate, Markup, Create PDF, and Trim, all of which work great with images. Trim and Rotate also work with certain video files as does Trim with MP4 audio. Third-party apps can add their own Quick Actions, which are available behind a ‘More…' button next to any built-in Quick Actions. You can create Quick Actions yourself in Automator too.

Third-party applications should be able to offer their own Quick Actions, but not much of that has surfaced yet.

All of this stuff makes the Mac more Mac-like, as opposed to some releases that made it more like iOS.

You can read more on these features in my article over on The Sweet Setup.

Dark Mode

Speaking of iOS, I know a lot of users have clamored for a Dark Mode since the iPhone X shipped with its OLED display. As we now know, iOS 12 did not include any such mode, but the Mac has beat iOS to the punch:

Ramification Mac Os X

You can check out a whole lot of Dark Mode over in the Aqua Screenshot Library, but it's easy to see that this the single biggest change to Aqua perhaps ever, including the Great Flattening of Yosemite. Prank masters (itch) mac os.

While I initially liked Dark Mode, I have cooled on it, and am not using it on my MacBook Pro at this point. It is beautiful, but I wish it offered more contrast in places. It is comprehensive, right up until you browse the web or open an HTML email.

Apple should make it easier for web developers to detect and switch their CSS accordingly. Almost all HTML email is bad and dumb, so I don't know what Apple can do about that, so your mileage may vary.

iOS Apps Are Coming

Finder improvements and Dark Mode are nerdy, fun features, but the reason Mojave will be remembered is the inclusion of four applications: Home, News, Stocks and Voice Memos.

These are the tip of the spear when it comes to iOS apps arriving on the Mac sometime next year.1

The da vinci treasure. And they … well, they aren't great. Jason Snell writes:

Every app is a single window. 'Windows' generated when you need to set preferences are modal, appear in the center of the existing app window, and can't be moved—and of course they can't, because they're not really Mac windows and these aren't really Mac apps. They are iOS apps, translated into Mac apps via a method that will be available to non-Apple software developers next year.

This move has major ramifications for the future of Mac software. All iOS apps are developed on macOS, but even veteran iOS developers can find it a difficult transition to writing macOS software. Using Apple's as-yet-unnamed approach, it should be much easier to bring iOS apps over to enrich the Mac. I like that Apple is testing this approach itself before handing it out to everyone else, because there's clearly a lot more work to be done—not just in fixing bugs before Mojave ships this fall, but in the next year to make sure that iOS apps translated to the Mac behave properly and work well.

Look no further than the date picker in the Home app to realize how poorly these apps have been translated to the Mac:

(At least Siri can talk to HomeKit devices now!)

I share Jason's concerns that these apps are not up to the standard Mac users are used to. I don't want to see the Mac overrun with apps that feel like janky ports, but that's all Mojave has to offer. My guts says Apple knows the UI side of these apps needs a lot of work, and I trust the company will continue to work on this before developers get access to it in the next version of macOS.

There is some funny under-the-hood business the company may not be able to solve, though, like the inclusion of what appears to be at least part of an iOS installation at in the /System folder:

… or the fact that killing the UIKitSystem process brings down all four apps at once:

Conclusion

Don't let my unease with the current state of Apple's ported iOS apps leave you with the impression that I don't like Mojave. I do, and I think it is clear that it is a hugely important macOS release, which is not something we've seen in many years. I think it shows Apple's continued commitment to the Mac, and that excites me.

I'll feel better once we see where apps like Home and News end up. For now, they are part of a large beta program, and one that I hope sees real improvement before shipping.

Until then, enjoy Dark Mode.

  1. There is some irony that the first macOS release to run iOS apps is the last to run 32-bit apps, and by extension, all Carbon apps. ↩
