Defining features

Feature summaries are anchored to the cited Apple first-party source.

Siri AI

macOS Golden Gate introduces a more personal, capable, and conversational Siri that can use personal context, work across apps, answer broader questions, and resume conversations in a dedicated Siri app.

Visual Intelligence

Visual Intelligence can analyze a selected part of the screen so Siri can answer questions or take actions based on what is currently visible.

Intelligent photo editing

Spatial Reframing, Extend, and improved Clean Up tools let users recompose photos, expand their boundaries, and remove distractions with more realistic results.

Safari intelligence

Safari gains automatic topic grouping for tabs, Notify Me for monitored webpage changes, and natural-language creation of custom website extensions.

Describe a Shortcut

Shortcuts can be created or refined from a natural-language description, assembling the required actions automatically.

Refined Liquid Glass design

Golden Gate improves Liquid Glass readability, adds an appearance slider, and further refines toolbars, sidebars, and app icons.

Child safety and parental controls

Expanded parental controls cover content, communication, browsing permissions, schedules, and more flexible time allowances.

Performance and search improvements

The release improves responsiveness and reliability across Spotlight, Mail search, AirDrop transfers, network file browsing, and other everyday workflows.
