macOS Ventura is the 19th major release of Apple's operating system for Mac computers, officially named macOS 13.

It was announced at WWDC 2022 and launched on October 24, 2022. It is the predecessor to macOS Sonoma (v14) and focused heavily on productivity, continuity, and system reorganization.

Key Features of macOS Ventura (v13)

Ventura introduced several fundamental changes to the Mac user experience and how the Mac interacts with other Apple devices:

Productivity & Multitasking

  • Stage Manager: A completely new way to manage windows. It automatically organizes open apps and windows, placing the current one prominently in the center and stacking thumbnails of other open apps on the left side of the screen, allowing users to quickly switch between tasks or group apps for specific projects.

  • System Settings Redesign: System Preferences was renamed to System Settings and received a complete visual overhaul to match the design language of iOS/iPadOS, placing navigation items in a vertical sidebar.

Continuity & Interoperability

  • Continuity Camera: This popular feature allows users to instantly and wirelessly use their iPhone (XR and later) as the Mac's webcam for any application (FaceTime, Zoom, etc.).

    • It unlocks advanced iPhone camera features on the Mac, like Center Stage, Portrait Mode, and the revolutionary Desk View, which uses the Ultra Wide camera to simultaneously show the user's face and an overhead view of their desk.

  • FaceTime Handoff: Users can start a FaceTime call on their iPhone or iPad and seamlessly transfer it to their Mac (and vice-versa) with a single click.

Application Enhancements

  • Mail: Introduced highly requested features like Undo Send (up to a short time window), Scheduled Send, Remind Me (to follow up on an email), and significantly improved search functionality.

  • Messages: Adopted the editing features from iOS, allowing users to Edit or Undo Send a message for a limited time after delivery, as well as mark threads as unread.

  • Safari: Introduced Passkeys (a passwordless technology using Touch ID/Face ID for more secure login) and the ability to Share Tab Groups with others for collaborative browsing.

  • Spotlight: Received new Quick Actions (like setting a timer or running a shortcut) and improved image search capabilities.
