macOS is referenced across recent coverage as a platform for desktop AI tools and “computer use” workflows. The news includes macOS-focused launches such as an AI video editor (OpenVids, WeftCut), an AI music composer (Tonefold), and utilities that rewrite text in other apps (Jarq) or run coding agents in a separate macOS account (offstage). Apple also announced tighter macOS “Full Disk Access” controls to limit how third-party apps and AI agents can access sensitive data like message history.
