But Dashboard eventually went the way of the iPod classic, disappearing for good a few years ago.Pearson Education, Inc., 221 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030, (Pearson) presents this site to provide information about products and services that can be purchased through this site. For a long time, the Mac hosted widgets in a separate screen layer called Dashboard, which would appear to one side of (or later overtop) the desktop. This isn’t the Mac’s first flirtation with widgets, of course. But on the Mac, widgets remain banished to column just offscreen, as part of (peculiarly enough) Notification Center-where they are all too often forgotten.

IPadOS 15 brought widgets to the Home screen of Apple’s tablet line, echoing a move made on the iPhone in iOS 14. There isn’t really any single analogue to that on the Mac, and while Apple doesn’t have to get rid of all the tools that are already on the platform, it would be handy if it could beef up the version of the Share sheet in macOS to add features more akin to iOS-such as the ability to run Shortcuts. SharePlay wasn’t available in the initial macOS Monterey but it is in the latest beta.īut the Share menu has ended up growing and becoming increasingly useful on iOS, in part because it acts as a central clearinghouse for sharing data that’s quickly and universally comprehensible.
