Developers can now install macOS 27 Golden Gate beta 7, just a week after the rollout of beta 6. Apple ended a three-week beta hiatus with macOS 27 Golden Gate beta 6, which introduced redesigned traffic light window controls with Liquid Glass-like effects on the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. Aside from that, beta 6 did not include other user-facing features, suggesting Apple is focusing on bug fixes, performance, and security improvements ahead of the official release. macOS 27 Golden Gate introduces the new Siri app alongside the revamped Siri AI, an AI-powered Shortcuts app that accepts natural-language prompts, and a prompt-based Safari extension builder.

It also features new Golden Gate-themed wallpapers and screensavers, while reverting to fixed-radius corners for windows and apps, reversing a dynamic corner radii change from macOS 26. The build version for macOS 27 Golden Gate beta 7 is 26A5421a. To install, back up your Mac, open System Settings, go to General > Software Update, click the 'i' icon next to Beta Updates, select the macOS Developer Golden Gate Beta from the dropdown, and hit 'Done'.
