Widgets may be moved from the Notification Center to the desktop or imported from an iPhone via Continuity if both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. They can be interactive (for example, letting you check items off a to-do list or manage media playing or linked smart home gadgets) and are meant to fade into the background when a window is opened.

Sonoma will also provide updates for Apple's Safari web browser. Web applications may now behave more like conventional macOS programs, including notification support and the option to pin them to your dock. Profiles are supported, allowing you to keep cookies, browsing history, and tab groups distinct depending on whether you're using it for business or for fun, and private browser windows are meant to give extra security from online tracking and to lock when not in use. Apple also wants to make it easier to exchange passkeys and passwords with iCloud Keychain securely.

A new "Game Mode" for Mac is also available, which prioritizes a game's access to CPU and GPU resources while also reducing latency for linked AirPods, Xbox, and PlayStation controllers. According to Apple, the mode is compatible with all games on the operating system. Apple showed signals that the company wants to improve in the gaming industry.

Videoconferencing is also improving, with the addition of a Presenter Overlay function that allows you to present information, such as slideshows behind you while your face stays on camera. These features, along with a set of reactive AR effects that may be enabled during conversations, appear to be used across any videoconferencing program.

Apple released the first beta of the recently announced macOS 14 Sonoma upgrade to developers for testing. While the beta is now restricted to developers, Apple intends to release a public test later this summer.

    Apple quickly trying to end support for Intel Mac’s. No doubt Sonoma will probably be the last release for any Intel Mac’s. Personally, I love Apple silicon other then my Windows PC desktop I play games on everything I do is on an Apple device. But I am not the least bit interested in any of the improvements Apple has done to Mac OS. I tend to hang back in OS releases from Apple and even their hardware now with Apple silicon doesn’t need frequent upgrades.
