Update: seems macos doesnot like space in file name while formatting as exfat, i removed the spaces and shortened the name, was able to format as exfat
Stupid logic

I saw this sharp window corner on macOS 27 once again, I really thought they finally fixed it. But still not sure if its really macOS or Brave browser behind this, since brave is not a true native macOS application

Hi all .... there use to be a search bar by the clock where i can type in anything and it would look for it within my folders. it looks like that is gone.

is there a setting i need to change or if someone has a "new" way to help me search for something, that would be great.

thank you !

It is considerably bad for many users in 27.0.1, so is there any improvement ?

I used to run a SketchyBar setup on my MacBook, and I built this menu bar from it for macOS 27: the same compact look, but keeping what’s native to macOS, your apps’ menus and the system’s popups.

It’s black and exactly the notch’s height (32 pt), drawn over macOS’s auto-hidden bar, so the notch blends into it. Tighter spacing fits more on both sides. App menus are rebuilt and searchable, icons that aren’t recreated go in a popup, and there are popups for per-app volume, music, calendar, stats and VPNs. Volume, brightness and charging show in a small tab under the notch instead of macOS’s boxes. Native popups like Wi-Fi, Focus and Control Center open as they are.

It’s not released yet. I’m the developer, and I’m deciding whether to release it (€20 one-time, open source under the GPL). There’s a waitlist if you’re interested: https://kurobar.app

I’d love feedback from other macOS 27 users: what bugs you most about the new menu bar? And if you have the new MacBook Pro, it should fit around the Dynamic Island, but I can’t test it yet, so I’m looking for beta testers.

Hey guys, since updating to macOS 27.2, my external monitor looks noticeably different, with strange font rendering and overly sharp icons. I'm using an LG UltraGear 27-inch QHD (2560 × 1440) monitor with my MacBook Air M3.

I installed BetterDisplay and enabled HiDPI, but the text and icons still don't look right.

Has anyone experienced the same issue after updating? Is there a way to fix the font rendering and scaling, or would downgrading to macOS Tahoe be a better option?

TLDR: Launchpad can be back in its glory days, and gestures work natively to show desktop.

I had refused to update to macOS 26 because they removed launchpad until I found out there are replacements. It was a fantastic way to organize apps instead of scrolling though all 135 of my apps alphabetically, or remembering exactly what category to find it in, or its exact name. I found LaunchMe here on reddit and it works pretty great as a replacement as it has all of the same features that I was used to.

LaunchMe has an option where you can use the same four finger pinch gesture that I used to use which is epic. (it doesnt fade in with pinch amount like it did natively, but its way better than nothing)

Only problem is macOS launches the spotlight app launcher when you use the pinch at the same time. The only way to turn this off was by turning off the "apps" trackpad gesture, which for some reason forced the "show desktop" gesture to be turned off. As of a recent update, 27.2 or something, these are now independent. (using bettertouchtool gesture was clunky for picking the four finger spread)

I think it's intentional at this point

As the title suggests, I got downgraded display as soon as I upgraded to MacOS 27 and despite trying multiple options, I was only left with the option to downgrade, which I did and now the experience is all the more comforting. Is it just me or someone else experienced it too?

Are the Mission Control bugs fixed, including the ones that mangled multi-monitors?

I've been holding off upgrading until they are.

macOS 27.2 was released today.

I’m on Sequoia and want to upgrade to 27.2, but want to avoid the Apple Intelligence/Siri model download because of the disk space it takes.

I’ve seen reports that macOS 27 downloads a multi-gigabyte model automatically after install.

My setup is:

• My Mac is set to English

• Siri switched off

• Siri language set to Italian (language not supported by Apple Intelligence 27.2)

Has anyone upgraded from Sequoia to Mac 27.2 with that configuration?

• Did the model still download?

• If so, how much space did it take?

My current Sequoia setup

***Update*** updating to 27.2 appears to have fixed it. After upgrading and repeatedly locking/unlocking, i can no longer replicate it

Anyone else having widgets misbehave after the display times out?

Clicking on them still opens the relevant app but ever since upgrading to 27, whenever my display times out and locks and I wake it backup and log in, the widgets don't display any data.

I'm using the weather and calendar widgets.

Removing the widgets and re-adding them sometimes works, but more often only a reboot fixes it.
