I think Apple has overshot its target with Safari in some respects, which is disappointing in no small measure because there are also meaningful innovations coming to the browser this fall that have already been useful in my daily web browsing. Focus, Quick Note, Live Text, and AirPlay to Mac all fit into that category, feeling right at home with the rest of the OS. To Apple’s credit, much of Monterey feels like a natural extension of the OS’s existing features and system apps, even in the early betas. Coupled with the debut of Shortcuts on the Mac, there’s a lot in this year’s beta that I’m sure MacStories readers will enjoy testing. Instead, Monterey introduces a collection of enhancements to existing system apps and new cross-system feature integrations that make the update useful immediately. There’s some of that in Monterey, but less than in the past couple of years. Those updates included fundamental shifts in the way the OS worked that made the update uncomfortable for some users. I haven’t run into any show-stopping bugs, and this year’s beta is far more approachable than the Catalina or Big Sur betas were.

I’m sure there are a lot of MacStories readers eager to install the Monterey beta. However, having already spent a substantial amount of time using the OS for my everyday work, I wanted to share my first impressions with readers who are thinking about trying it too. I’ll have a lot more to say about Monterey this fall when it’s officially released. I’ve been using Monterey since the first developer beta was released during WWDC and switched to it full-time about a week ago when developer beta 2 was released. The public beta is a chance for anyone who doesn’t have a developer account to preview the new features coming to the Mac’s OS this fall. Today Apple released the first public beta of macOS Monterey after just over three weeks of developer testing.
