macOS Ventura (version 13) is the nineteenth release of macOS, shipped on October 24, 2022. Stage Manager brought its focused-window-plus-strip multitasking from iPad to desktop; Continuity Camera made the iPhone a Mac webcam — magnetically mounted, with Center Stage and the Desk View overhead trick — instantly obsoleting a webcam market; and System Preferences became System Settings, an iOS-styled rebuild whose reorganization drew the cycle's loudest professional-user complaints.

Stage Manager; Continuity Camera with Desk View; System Settings; Passkeys in Safari; Freeform (13.1); redesigned Spotlight; Mail search and scheduling; Weather and Clock on Mac; Rapid Security Responses; and Lockdown Mode against mercenary spyware.

Continuity Camera turned the iPhone into standard Mac hardware and remains the transition-era ecosystem play with the widest daily use. System Settings' contested redesign became the reference case in the "iOS-ification" debate — and Lockdown Mode set a new bar for anti-spyware posture the industry then studied.
