All current apps work with macOS Catalina
October 2019
Apple chose today to release macOS 10.15 Catalina. The latest major update to the Mac operating system. š„³
Iāve been testing Denied, Carbonize, Relax, Pipvid and Timeless with every new beta since they came available and Iām happy to report they all work fine.
Upgrading
Youāll get a notification about the update at some point. If you want to upgrade early, open System Preferences and select System Update.
After a moment or two youāll get the option to Upgrade Now.
Denied
iTunes has been replaced by separate apps for music, podcasts, TV and books. All very appropriately named after the media they expose. Iāve added support for Music.app in Denied v1.7.
Song skipping through all filters works perfectly. Thereās an unfixed bug in Music that prevents Denied from grabbing the track information when the app first launches and before Music was set to play, pause, skip to the next or previous track. This is mainly cosmetic. Iām confident Apple will address the issue in a future update to Catalina.
Pipvid
QuickTime gained a built-in picture-in-picture mode in macOS 10.15. Iāve been on the fence about removing my custom solution, now thereās a native implementation.
For the moment Iāve decided to stay with the custom feature I built specifically for Pipvid. The main reason being that my solution allows me to enable and disable picture-in-picture by simply resizing the player window. I love that feature myself.
The new pip-button in QuickTime is easily accessible to those who prefer the native variant.
Iām working on a hybrid solution that could make the best of both options. Thatās not quite ready yet.
Others
Carbonize, Relax and Timeless work exactly like they did on macOS Mojave. I hope youāll enjoy them as much on Catalina as you did on Mojave. š
Have fun exploring the new features!
