Widgets have always been a convenient way to access information quickly, but MacOS Sonoma takes it a step further. Widgets can now be placed directly on the desktop, offering unprecedented flexibility in their positioning. But that’s not all; through Apple’s continuity feature, you can import widgets from your iPhone or iPad apps and place them on your Mac desktop. These widgets are dynamic, meaning you can interact with them directly without having to open the corresponding app.

If you’re someone who loves to personalize your desktop, MacOS Sonoma has got you covered. The new settings allow you to customize the appearance of widgets, offering both monochrome and full-color display options. This feature ensures that your widgets not only serve a functional purpose but also blend seamlessly with your aesthetic preferences.
