Cannot connect to things like photos, safari, imsg, all noting things like cannot connect to server. Other apps work.

Looking for 10 Mac users to test my new macOS app, and send blunt feedback on bugs, UX issues, and quirks.

DM me your Mac model, macOS version, and email provider if you want in.

Appreciate you.

I know you can run windows natively on Intel Mac with bootcamp but what is the current state running windows natively on m series Mac’s?

Hi all,

What are currently the best note taking apps for mac os? For the past 2 years, i've had several crash outs on Apple notes which led me to try other apps, but ended up going back to Apple notes every single time.

I've tried:

- Craft: Great UI and it's like they have feature in the world, but completely fail at doing one thing: Taking notes. (Constant struggle with copying text, blcoks move everywhere, Completely loosing it in the organization). I had a paid plan for a year and ended up trashing it in 2 weeks.

- Notion: great for cloud stuff and team work, but

- Bear this is the only non Apple notes app that i used for more than a month. I mostly used it because of the syntax highlight in notes, but I hate how it keeps switching between showing you the markdown elements when you're tying.

To clarify what I am looking for:

A simple note taking app that takes clean, good looking notes fast, and allows for quick editing, copy/pasting, etc.

What I specifically don't like about Apple notes:

- It takes too much time to format a note. Ex: adding links, adding titles,....
- No syntax highlights for code blocks

I'm interested in downloading the develper beta again. I've had access to all 3. I'm not a developer, but I am going to learn swift. Currently I'm beta testing 2 apps I've had developer access since sometime 2009 to 2011 I forget.
Would it be beneficial to the developers if I download the developer beta? I've used it many times before

TLDR

I remember downloading an app to help develop though I forgot about it for a long time. I had to keep up with my nonspeaking autistic daughter who deleted her ipad 1 week after she got it and then a few times she locked herself out of her ipad. Once when the general section had a restrictions passcode I used it but the times I downloaded apps, she watches me. Once when I forgot to put the passcode on, my daughter turned on restrictions for everything including wifi put a passcode in on both sections
Took me a week to find the answer online cuz Apple refuserd to help me even though I had access to verify it's me.

Long-time Mac dev here. Submitted Feedback (FB-XXXXXX) requesting a system-level "Prevent apps from stealing focus" toggle — something Windows has had for 20+ years and macOS still doesn't expose.

Classic scenario: typing in Terminal, IDE finishes a build and launches a browser/console app, focus gets yanked mid-keystroke. Real productivity hit and occasionally a real risk (Enter on a dialog you didn't see, destructive keystrokes in a terminal that's no longer the terminal).

Two questions for people on the current beta:

1. Anyone noticed any change in activation behavior in 26.5 betas? I haven't.
2. If you hit this too, please file your own Feedback. Apple weighs duplicates — one report from one dev is noise, fifty is a signal.

Hoping macOS 27 finally addresses this. Not holding my breath but worth a shot before WWDC.
