What Jamie wrote

Extremely comprehensive "11-page" overview of the new macOS Monterey! The stuff I’m most interested in:

  • Shortcuts on macOS is huge for me and I think it has a potential to expose a lot of people to the power of building their own automation. I can’t recommend strongly enough taking some time to get familiar with Shortcuts.
  • The tagging features in Reminders and Notes are interesting, but I don't think enough to get me to change my workflows from the trusted tools I have now.
  • Shared and synchronized Focus Modes across all of your devices is compelling. I still need to read more examples of how people are using Focus Modes effectively. It strikes me as powerful, but I need more time to play.
  • The iCloud+ features to protect privacy look great, but many are still beta quality so holding off a bit for now.
