iTunes has been disbanded into three

separate apps, including Apple TV for

your visual entertainment needs

With Screen Time on Mac,

users can sync settings

and combine usage across

their Apple devices

Screen Time

Much like its iOS equivalent, Screen Time

gives Mac users a gauge on how they

spend their time on their Mac. There’s a

new feature called ‘One More Minute’

that lets you save your work or game

before logging off, and Family Sharing

capabilities lets parents manage their

children’s device usage, including the

ability to choose who their children can

communicate with and when.

Accessibility

Macs are for everyone, and macOS

Catalina introduces new assistive

technologies to help every user get the

most out of their Mac. For example,

Voice Control allows users who can’t

operate traditional input devices to

control their Mac entirely with their voice

using on-device Siri speech recognition

technology, which also ensures personal

data is kept private.

The developer preview of macOS

Catalina is available to Apple Developer

Program members at developer.apple.com,

and a public beta program is available

to Mac users at beta.apple.com. macOS

Catalina will be available this autumn as

a free software update for Macs

introduced in mid-2012 or later.
