With more than new features, OS X Mavericks brings iBooks and Maps to the Mac, includes a new version of Safari, enhances multi-display support, introduces Finder Tabs and Tags and delivers new core technologies for breakthrough power efficiency and performance.
Mavericks also includes new core technologies that boost performance and improve the battery life of your Mac. Timer Coalescing and App Nap intelligently save energy and reduce power consumption. Compressed Memory automatically shrinks inactive data to keep your Mac fast and responsive.
A new event inspector makes it simpler to create and edit events by suggesting addresses and points of interest when you start typing in the location field.
It also displays a weather forecast and can even calculate travel time, so you know how long it will take to get there. And you can send yourself a notification so you know exactly when to leave.
Shared Links in the new Sidebar shows links posted by people you follow on Twitter and LinkedIn, so you can keep up with the latest and quickly retweet what you like.
In fact, with Safari in OS X Mavericks you can now surf the web up to one hour longer than with other browsers. Remembering your passwords can be a real pain. But now iCloud Keychain remembers them for you.
And it automatically fills them in whenever you need them. OS X Mavericks takes full advantage of every display connected to your Mac, giving you even more flexibility to work the way you want.
With OS X Mavericks, you can interact with your notifications, so you can quickly reply to a message or reply to or delete an email. In addition, you can now sign up with websites to get notifications about breaking news, sports scores, auction alerts, and more. Finder Tabs help you declutter your desktop by consolidating multiple Finder windows into one. Each tab can have its own view — icon, list, column, or Cover Flow.
To move a file from tab to tab, just drag and drop. And you can even expand a Finder window to full screen and effortlessly move files wherever you want. Tags are a powerful new way to organize and find your files, even documents stored in iCloud. And all the files with that tag will appear together in one Finder window, even if they're stored in different locations.
Tag a file once, or give it multiple tags to assign it to multiple projects. Download What's New Specs. Mountain Lion was perhaps a more significant update in that it brought a handful of iOS-like features to the fore with iMessage, Game Center, Reminders and the Notification Center, but there are still plenty of goodies to be enjoyed with Mavericks.
Strictly speaking, the Mavericks update is free for everyone, and this is a first for OS X in general. The fee Apple charged for Lion in and Mountain Lion in was meager at best, and by offering a free update, users will be inclined to adopt as quickly as iDevice users seem to have with iOS 7. We already know about the new tabbed navigation, helping users better organize their folders and such when navigating through the operating system, and Federighi also explained how the new system can adjust its memory based on the specific task in hand.
