In this lesson for What’s New in macOS Catalina, I look at the new Screen Time preferences on the Mac. The Screen Time preference pane has replaced Parental Controls, found in older versions of macOS. With Screen Time, you can see the amount of time an app has been open, limit its usage or limit a category of app usage, such as games. You can also set a passcode to override any restrictions, and add content restrictions. Take a look at the new Screen Time preferences in macOS Catalina in this video.

In this lesson, I go through the interface and the basics of the new TV app in macOS Catalina.

In this lesson for What’s New in macOS Catalina, I look at how you manage your iOS devices through the Finder instead of through iTunes. Just plug in your iPad or iPhone, while using macOS Catalina, and your device will show in any Finder window under Locations.
