With macOS 15.2 and iOS 18.2 we get a new Apple Intelligence feature called Image Playground. Here are some ideas on how you can use this AI image-generating app.

A new feature in macOS 15.2 and iOS 18.2 is the ability to create links with highlights in Safari. These links take the recipient directly to text on a web page and highlight it.

With iOS 18.2 Apple introduces a number of new Apple Intelligence features to the iPhone. You can now rewrite text with a prompt, compose new text, and access ChatGPT through Siri. You can also generate images using Image Playground, Image Wand and Genmoji.

While building a recent MacMost video, I posted microblog-style while doing it. It gives some insight into my process and a few useful tidbits as well. You can see the whole thing at Bluesky without even needing to log in at https://bsky.app/profile/rosenz.bsky.social/post/3lcqanpunc227. But I have also compiled an image with all of the posts.

NOTE: macOS Sequoia will most likely come out Monday, December 9. I’m releasing this video then. If 15.2 isn’t out yet when you first view this, consider this a preview of what is to come very soon…
Once you update to macOS Sequoia 15.2 you'll get new Apple Intelligence writing tools, ChatGPT integration, Image Playground, and more.

Here is a simple Shortcut that will let you add minutes to a timer that is already counting down on your iPhone.

You can use Shortcuts and URL Schemes to create quick links directly to parts of System Settings. You can put these links in the Menu Bar, Dock, or create a keyboard shortcut. You can also do this on the iPhone and iPad. For the list of links, see https://macmost.com/mac-settings-links

The red, yellow and green buttons allow you to close, minimize, and resize windows on your Mac. With macOS Sequoia, the green button in particular has a lot of functionality.

Here are the most common Mac tips and tricks that even some long-time Mac users don't know about.

Since I need to type these special symbols often, I developed a Shortcut to make it easier. You can use it for other things as well.

Your Reminders can be more than just text. You can also add links to various things on your Mac: web pages, emails, messages, notes, photos, files and more.

For those interested, here's how MacMost got started and the journey it took to get to where it is today.

You can use Apple Intelligence in macOS 15.1 to summarize text in articles, entire web pages and documents. You can also extract key points, lists and tables.

You can create a single item in the Dock on your Mac that contains links to your most used files, folders, apps, web links and more.

Beyond basic Copy and Paste, you can do things like copy without text styling, or copy only the style. You can copy and paste files. You can copy text without even opening the document. You can even copy and paste between your Mac and iPhone.

Safari has actually become quite a capable translator, allowing us to read content from all over the world.

A new creative feature of the Camera app in iOS 18 is the ability to pause right in the middle of recording a video, and then resume. You can use this to take a single video that looks like a series of videos that have been edited together.

Here are some screenshot techniques that I commonly use. These combine the functions of the screenshot tool, Preview, and the clipboard to make useful workflows.

Here are some new features in macOS Sequoia that you may have missed. Customize the title bar click, plan urban hiking routes, force Reader View in Safari, bring up the context menu with a keyboard shortcut, and much more.
