Wish I could use Safari with uBO, so that I could use Safari. Tired of feature fragmentation in 3rd party software, but equally tired of ostensible limitations in 1st party software that try to control and prevent every single edge case use in the name of "uSeR ExPeRiEnCe".

EDIT: I'd like to add the following, in case any Safari team members come across this in the wake of today's keynote. I remain utterly disgusted by things like:

- hiding the full url by default

- force hiding the full url on certain ($) search engine sites

- force injecting 'client=safari' into my urls for ($)

- {google, yahoo, bing, duckduckgo, ecosia}

- inability to specify custom search engines and their urls

- removal of RSS reader (still salty)

The iPhone Mirroring was the most interesting announcement (and I don't think was leaked). I suspect it will only be useful for emergencies as latency will be terrible, though.

I hoping my mom can share their phone with their laptop and i can sreenshare into her laptop to troubleshoot her phone. Also I will use this often to approve okta 2factor requests.

Oh shit - that's a great point, this will make remote tech support a lot better

Should have called it Sherlock as they seem to be Sherlocking a lot of apps. For instance I only use Fantastical because I can see my reminders with my events, I assume many people will also switch from a paid password manager to this as well.

Math Notes certainly appears to be moving into Soulver/Numi territory. I'm a bit surprised by this one as while I personally love Soulver I didn't know how appealing it would be to Apple's overall user base.

I was going to say too, I love literate-calc in org mode but it's all pretty niche and not a well developed set of sofwtare https://github.com/sulami/literate-calc-mode.el

I quite like the Wipr “Content Blocker”. It’s paid, but at least that’s incentive to continue working on something a dreadful as ad-block.

I never thought I’d see the day macOS would get tiling window management. Wonder how it will interact with Stage Manager if at all.

I hope it supports thirds and not just 50/50 layouts.

I think that’ll require the crackpot team that made Calculator on iPad possible.

I wonder how the "seamlessly drag and drop files, photos, and videos between your iPhone and Mac" will work. Right now, if you just want to grab the raw files of your photos and videos and not deal with the Photos app, your best bet is Image Capture, a 20+ year old seemingly unmaintained program that seems to glitch out disturbingly frequently. I really hope they can introduce something that seamlessly lets you drag…

It's already been working for quite some time: shared clipboard on iOS and macOS has supported photos and videos since more than 2 years ago. I'd expect drag-and-drop works the same way.

I’ve been wishing for iPhone notifications on my Mac for the longest time!

I wonder if it’ll do anything about duplicate notifications. As a basic example, the Weather app exists both on iOS (and iPadOS) and macOS, so if it’s enabled, would you get duplicate notifications on macOS?

I could always use more reminders that it’s going to rain in 13 minutes

Isn't the Passwords app essentially just existing features of the OSes extracted into an app? Or does it add new capabilities as well (other than obviously the Windows app)?

The Windows app already existed, actually, as part of iCloud for Windows. It uses a Chrome extension for autofill. https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud-windows/set-up-icloud...
