![]() ![]() ![]() Macs will also get a new Quick Note feature with macOS Monterey that should make it easier to take notes about whatever website or app you're currently looking at, without having to stop and fire up the Notes app.īut Quick Note looks to be more than just a streamlined way of writing Notes: you'll also be able to add links to websites or other apps, as well as highlights from Safari. It works across all Apple devices, from iPhones to iMacs, with picture-in-picture support and dynamic audio controls which will adjust the volume as people speak. SharePlay will give you some fun new ways of sharing media during FaceTime calls, like simultaneously watching the same show on Apple TV Plus or listening to music together via Spotify. Both will now shift colors dynamically to match the color palette of the site you’re looking at, which seems like a fun party trick. These new features arrive alongside a cosmetic redesign which will see Safari’s tabs and tab bar streamlined to take up less space. ![]() The Shared with You list is a significant new piece of macOS 12 Monterey, and it will now appear by default in the Safari start page in addition to the sidebar. You’ll be able to admire your new tab groups in a redesigned sidebar which also lets you manage your bookmarks, Reading List, and any “Shared with You” links others have sent you via the Messages app. Most notably, Safari will soon allow you to organize open tabs into groups that are automatically updated and synced across all your devices, a feature already offered by browsers like Chrome and Edge. Safari is getting an overhaul aimed at making the browser a bit more streamlined. Plus, you can use the cursor to drag and drop files between devices, which should make it even easier to move media back and forth between tablet and computer.Īpple says Universal Control currently supports a maximum of three simultaneous devices, which means you could (if you're one of the few who can afford to keep all the hardware on hand) work seamlessly between an iMac, a MacBook and an iPad. The cursor defines which device is currently the focus of your keyboard, so once you mouse over onto your iPad via Universal Control you can use your Mac’s keyboard to type on the tablet. Quick Note is a sticky note app for Mac that is accessible with one click or a keyboard shortcut.In the brief demo Apple showed during WWDC, Universal Control looks like magic: when your Mac detects an iPad (logged into the same iCloud account) is nearby via Bluetooth, you can drag the cursor to the edge of the screen and, after a brief animation helps you line up where the cursor will appear on the iPad, you can drag the cursor off the screen and see it appear (via a Wi-Fi Direct connection) on the iPad. However, the app has a paid version named Antnotes that costs $2.99 and brings additional features such as the capability to attach notes to any applications, so they will be shown when the app is activated. It’s available on the Mac App Store for free. Simple Antnotes is a great app except that it doesn’t work in full-screen. You can also create a new note by dragging text and files to the Simple Antnotes menu bar or “Dock” icon. Chose “Services” from the context menu and select “Add to Simple Antnotes” to create a new sticky note with the selected text. To utilize the integration, select text in any application and right-click on it. ![]() Simple Antnotes comes integrated with macOS’ “Services”. If required, it’s possible to change the background color of your notes, as well as customize the font and text color. What’s more, users can opt to make their sticky notes translucent if they prefer. ![]()
