What's new in macOS 13 VenturaStage Manager

This is probably the biggest change in macOS 13. Stage Manager offers a new way to manage your app windows. It acts like a second dock that's placed vertically in the left edge of the screen. It shifts the focus to your primary app's window, allowing you to work with it. You can switch to a different app with a click of the mouse. App windows can be resized and moved around the center of the screen.

Apps that are updated with information (e.g. new messages) display a badge on the sidebar to indicate updated content. Stage Manager supports Mission Control and Spaces, and you can switch between regular app windows and back to the centralized app quickly.

Stage Manager can be activated from the Control Center at anytime, don't like it? Just ignore it. When I used it in the beta builds, I felt that Stage Manager is not very good on small screen devices like Macbooks because it takes too much space. Things have improved since, while I still feel that it could be more useful in multi-monitor set-ups, I like the fact that you can group windows together, and switch between stages or regular apps easily. You can also prevent new instances of an app opening in the Stage Manager view.

Spotlight

Spotlight is smarter in macOS 13, it displays rich results about movies, TV shows, sports, musicians, businesses, etc. The results are shown in a panel that pops down from the search bar. It can also be used to find images from the web when you look up people, animals, monuments, and other things.

The search tool can now recognize when you type queries like dog, car, text, etc., and fetches results from images from your Photos, Messages, Notes and Finder. Spotlight supports Quick Look, so you can preview files from search directly by pressing the Space bar. You can read more about Spotlight in macOS Ventura here.

Mail app

The improvements to the Mail app in Ventura are incredibly useful. The app lets you recall sent mails with the Undo Send button that appears after you hit the send button.

You'll have to be quick, but it could be a lifesaver in case you addressed the mail to the wrong recipient, forgot to mention something, noticed a typo, etc. Scheduled send is a neat way to send mails at a specific time and date of your choice.

The Mail app in macOS 13 Ventura supports rich links with previews, i.e., when you paste a link in a mail, it displays a thumbnail preview of the page from the URL. When you send a mail but haven't received a reply after a few days, the app puts the mail at the top of the list as a reminder to follow up with your contact. You may snooze mails and read them later with the Mail app's built-in reminder feature.

Lastly, the Mail app comes with smart search enhancements such as search as you type, and a list of recently accessed links and files that were shared with you.

Safari

Apple's default browser has gained some new features, including Shared Tab Groups. Safari users can now collaborate with others to share a set of tabs, everyone can contribute to the list and even pin tabs, the tabs are updated instantly. Tab Groups have their own start pages which can be customized with background wallpapers and favorites. The browser's built-in password manager now lets you edit strong passwords that you can modify according to site?specific requirements

Notifications from web pages are now supported in the browser. Extensions and website specific settings (page zoom, reader view, etc.) are synced across your devices. Safari in macOS 13 supports translating text in images using Live Text. Apple is enabling new web extension APIs for developers to create Safari web extensions, I'm looking forward to seeing some new plugins.

Passkeys

Passkeys are Apple's way to replace passwords. The new secure sign-in feature allows users to create passwordless logins for websites and sign in to them using biometric authentication, or non-Apple devices that you own. The Cupertino company claims that Passkeys are unhackable because they are end-to-end encrypted and stored on your device. You may sync them across your Apple devices through iCloud Keychain.

Messages

The Messages app lets you edit sent messages for up to 15 minutes, or recall them (undo send) within 2 minutes since you sent the message. You can mark messages that you have seen as unread, if you want to deal with them later.

Messages that were deleted in the past 30 days can be recovered. The Messages app supports SharePlay so you can chat with your friends while the app synchronizes with Movies, Music, and other activities. Collaboration invites can be sent from the app, and recipients will be added to your project in Finder, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Safari, etc.
