macOS 26 Tahoe introduced Liquid Glass animations, but that didn't resonate with many users. Apple has walked back those changes since, and with macOS 27, you can use a slider to precisely control Liquid Glass effects. I think reducing Liquid Glass improves readability, so that's what I've chosen. To make the change, click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your Mac's display, and select System Settings > Appearance. You can now use the slider in the "Liquid Glass" section. Move it to the right to reduce the effect.

There's a new drawing tool in Apple Notes and Freeform in macOS 27, which you can use to create art and other drawings. To try it in Freeform, open the app, and click the pen icon in the toolbar up top. You can now use the trackpad or a mouse to draw on the board. Similarly, you can select a note (or create a new one) in Apple Notes, hit the pen icon, and start sketching.
Use the new Siri app to set timers, reminders, and answer your questions
macOS 27 has a dedicated Siri app, which you can use for all interactions with the virtual assistant. Once you open the app, you can speak or type your request, and Siri will handle the rest. If you disable "Hey Siri," as I've done, opening the Siri app automatically shows a "Type to Siri" popover. You can then type your request, which I've been using to set timers and reminders. The Siri app can also answer your questions, and handle all the tasks that the virtual assistant used to do before macOS 27.

Siri AI will analyze the image and show you these options: You can use the "Ask Siri" text box to find specific information about the image. Or, click "Image Search" to check the internet for other copies of the object or photo. Depending on what Siri AI finds in the image, you may see other options such as adding a phone number to contacts, or viewing an address in Apple Maps.

Thankfully, there's an easy way to remove it from the context menu, which I discovered on Reddit. Use the following Terminal command, and then restart your Mac:
To restore default settings, use this command:
Use this Terminal command to control menu bar apps with your keyboard
If you prefer keyboard navigation, you'll know you can use the arrow keys to switch between different menus at the top of your Mac's screen. Once you select a menu item in any app, you can press the right arrow key to go to the next menu, eg: going from "File" to "Edit." The left arrow key takes you to the previous menu item, however, this navigation stops with the last menu item, which is usually "Help." In macOS 27, there's a hidden feature that allows you to switch from the last app menu item to the first menu bar app using your arrow keys. You'll have to enable this using Terminal, and restart your Mac for it to take effect. Use this Terminal command to enable the feature:
To disable the feature, use this command:
defaults delete -g NSMenuEnableMenuBarAgentdefaults delete -g NSMenuBarUseAgentNavigation
