Source: Apple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After months of using the macOS Sonoma beta on my M2 MacBook Air, Sonoma has run very smoothly. Battery life has been great, I\u2019ve encountered no app compatibility issues, and have had no crashes. It\u2019s been an incredibly stable beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the compatibility of apps that you use in <em>your<\/em> daily workflow, I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend a day-one upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-new-macos-sonoma-widgets-are-awesome\">The new macOS Sonoma widgets are awesome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, that\u2019s mainly due to the new widgets. Four years after the removal of Dashboard\u2014a feature core to the Mac experience in the Mac OS X days\u2014we finally have a suitable successor in Sonoma\u2019s implementation of widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once relegated to the Notification Center, widgets can now be placed on the desktop  in macOS Sonoma. But not just your Mac widgets. Sonoma\u2019s implementation is smart enough that it can find any widgets you have running on your iPhone and pull those atop your Mac desktop as well\u2014even if that app isn\u2019t installed on your Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It honestly feels a bit like magic. The iPhone widgets instantly appear next to those from apps installed on your Mac and they work  perfectly\u2014they are largely indistinguishable from the Mac-installed widgets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This implementation has changed the way I use my Mac in a big way. (Not quite as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/86505-arc-changed-the-way-i-use-a-mac-the-ultimate-guide-to-an-ingenious-new-browser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how the Arc browser has changed how I use my Mac<\/a>, but still.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With background updates and full interactivity, the widgets always display up-to-date information; and I can mark tasks done, enter calendar dates, or look deeper into a weather forecast with a single click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And getting to widgets on the desktop is extremely easy: Apple allows you to temporarily sweep all open windows to the sides of your display with a click of an open area of the desktop to view your widgets\u2014for instance the area to either side of the dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read more about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/86010-widgets-are-the-defining-feature-of-the-new-macos-sonoma\/\" target=\"_blank\">how widgets are the defining feature of macOS Sonoma here<\/a>, but also check out our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/86040-first-impressions-macos-sonoma-beta-inspires-optimism\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"86040\" target=\"_blank\">first impressions of the new OS where we look deeper into all the other improvements Sonoma holds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think of macOS Sonoma?
