What's new and what's missing
macOS 13 is a major overhaul in terms of new system features, but app enhancements are scarce this time. As always, we can tune some things up with Setapp apps.
Cancel culture in Mail
You’ll now be able to cancel your sent emails! Also known as “undo send.” To automate it further, try Canary.
Canary Mail is an alternative Mail client that has the undo send feature, plus the capability to schedule your emails and set them to self-destruct at a specific point in time. In other words, you can set expiration dates for everything you send for security reasons.
More essentials venture into Ventura
Apple adds the long-awaited Weather and Clock, so you can control your routine more effectively. You’ll be able to set timers and alarms, view world clocks, and more. Those things are great but not pro. Here are the pro alternatives.
Boost-your-routine kit
Forecast Bar gives you ridiculously accurate hour-by-hour weather forecasts. And its weather alerts can really save your day in case you forget to check the weather before heading out.
World Clock Pro has a handy timezone converter to quickly check the time in any part of the world.
Numi is something that the perfect duo of Weather and Clock misses — an improved calculator. As soon as you start calculating with Numi, you won’t go back: you can calculate using plain language, convert currencies and length, and more.
WaitingList is there to bring excitement into your timers. It lets you craft a beautiful list of countdown timers in the menu bar, so you keep looking forward to big dates and deadlines.
Messages can get awkward
On macOS 13 and iOS 16 you can now edit and delete whatever you’ve sent in Messages within the past 15 minutes. But here’s a trick: this won’t work if the person you’re messaging has an older OS. So hold off sending whatever’s on your mind, things will get awkward if you can’t edit it in the end.
Tip: If you still want to boost your messaging routine on Mac, try IM+. It’s a handy messenger aggregator that lets you put all your messengers and email clients into one app.
Passwordless future?
And here’s a really cool upgrade: Safari passkeys. Based on Touch ID/Face ID authentication, passkeys will replace passwords — the technology that’s not just more user-friendly, but also more secure than any two-factor authentication. We’re only sad you can’t use this in Chrome!
If you rely on other browsers apart from Safari, make sure you set up two-factor authentication to secure your login credentials. Step Two will help automate the authentication process with a handy storage point for all your OTP codes.
Hope this use case will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more use cases picked for you below.
