macOS 27 is now available for download, and here are my top 3 features from the list:
1. New Siri & Spotlight
This is, of course, the star feature of this update, and I'm finding real, helpful use cases for it.
For example, I can describe my search query in natural language, and Siri will find what I'm looking for, such as this note:
This will help when we don't remember the full context or title of notes, emails, files, etc.
2) File name suggestions in Finder
Start renaming a file, wait a few seconds, and Finder will suggest relevant names based on the content:
This tiny quality-of-life addition will help organise files better without 3rd-party software.
We can't select multiple files and generate suggestions for them yet, but you can create a shortcut for that.
3) Automatic tab grouping in Safari
Another AI addition I like is how Safari observes the tabs I open and automatically creates named tab groups for them:
Now, the group names aren't always perfect, but this will be handy for any sort of research.

P.S.: I've been receiving emails for a while asking whether the early member pricing for the Hulry Plus membership is still available.
While I moved away from the original lifetime membership pricing early this year, I've decided to make the lifetime plan available at a reduced price of $89 one-time instead of the regular $147 through a limited offer.
If you've missed the opportunity to lock in a lifetime membership before, you can use this link to buy the membership at this special price. This discount is valid only for the first 10 people.
