macOS Monterey was announced during the WWDC keynote speech on June 7, 2021 and released on October 25, 2021, introducing Universal Control (which allows input devices to be used with multiple devices simultaneously), Focus (which allows selectively limiting notifications and alerts depending on user-defined user/work modes), Shortcuts (a task automation framework previously available only on iOS and expected to replace Automator), a redesigned Safari Web browser, and updates and improvements to FaceTime. The operating system is named after Monterey Bay, continuing the trend of releases named after California locations since 2013’s 10.9 Mavericks.
