Registered developers can download the new beta software through the System Settings app.

‌macOS Tahoe‌ features Apple's Liquid Glass redesign, which extends across all of the new updates this year. Apple also brought the Phone and Journal apps to the Mac for the first time, and introduced a new cross-platform Games app.

With the update, Apple overhauled how Spotlight works, enabling new functionality that allows it to be used to complete all kinds of actions like sending emails without having to open up an app. There are also changes to a number of apps, including Messages, Safari, and Notes.

All of the new features that are included in ‌macOS Tahoe‌ are outlined in our dedicated roundup.

I dunno, I guess either keep trying or wait a bit and try again.

iPad OS is not showing for me either, but on Mac it worked after a couple of tries.
Really dislike the look of all these floating islands of buttons. And the side bar. Much less clean than it is now. Makes sense on iphone where the buttons have to share the space with the content so they float above it. But not on Mac where they have their own space.

Safari tabs: more apparent which one is active, but uglier 😂

Am I the only one who would like the sound icon to remain in the bottom middle of the screen when changing volume?
