macOS Mojave for Mac

macOS Mojave — built to boost your workflow

macOS Mojave is a notable update to Apple's desktop operating system with several visible interface refinements. While Dark Mode drew the most attention, Finder and Desktop received meaningful improvements as well, along with other enhancements aimed at improving everyday productivity.

Improvements targeted at advanced users

• Stacks keep your desktop neat by grouping related files automatically, reducing visual clutter and making it easier to find what you need.
• The Dynamic Desktop shifts its look through the day, becoming brighter and warmer in daylight and cooler and dimmer after sunset to better match ambient lighting.
• Screenshots are faster and less intrusive in Mojave, with tools that simplify capture, annotation, and sharing.
• Dark Mode provides a darker system color scheme that can reduce glare and help you concentrate on content.

Smarter file organization with Stacks

Mojave introduces Stacks, which declutters the desktop by automatically grouping items into smart collections. You can organize stacks by different criteria — for example:

• Spreadsheets
• PDFs
• Images
• Documents

To browse a stack, use a single-finger swipe on a multi-touch mouse or a two-finger swipe on a trackpad to scrub through items. Click a stack to expand it and then open any file you need.

Faster captures and a changing desktop

Screenshots in Mojave are more streamlined: capture tools appear instantly, let you preview and edit, and reduce the number of steps between grabbing an image and sharing it. The Dynamic Desktop feature updates your wallpaper throughout the day so the system background better reflects the time and lighting, helping make the workspace feel more natural.
