The Golden Master version of macOS Catalina represents the final version of the update that will be provided to the public when it is released. The new “macOS Catalina” software can be downloaded using the software update mechanism in System Preferences after installing the appropriate profile from the Developer Center.
MacOS Catalina eliminates the iTunes application, dividing it into Music, Podcast and TV applications. The three new apps offer functionality similar to iTunes, but are broken down by functionality. IOS device management is still available on the Mac, but it’s now done through the Finder rather than iTunes.
With a new Sidecar function, you can turn your iPad into a second screen for your Mac with just one click. Apple Pencil works with idSidecar, so you can turn your iPad into a drawing tablet in applications like Photoshop and Illustrator.
Your Apple Watch can be used to approve security prompts for passwords and other information in “MacOS Catalina”, and Macs with a T2 chip now support activation lock, which makes them more secure. There’s a new Find My that brings the Find My Mac app to the Mac for the first time and even lets you track your devices when they’re offline or, in the case of laptops, closed.
Screen Time is available on Mac and iOS devices, and Project Catalyst, a new initiative from Apple, will allow developers to easily port their iPad applications to Mac to increase the number of Mac applications available.
There is a new Photos interface that displays your best photos organized by day, month or year, there is a new start page in Safari, Mail has new tools for cutting threads and blocking senders, and Reminders app has been revised.
32-bit applications no longer work in macOS Catalina, which you should know before installing the beta version.
