Clock and Weather Come to the Mac With macOS Ventura

I always thought it was puzzling that macOS’s existing weather widget went to weather.com. You have Apple, a privacy-minded company, sending users to an add laden website replete with trackers. Then again Apple still has Google as the default search engine…
I've been looking for an built-in Alarm app on macOS. Been relying on third-party apps.
I hope we can now set multiple timers too!!

That would be nice. Right on the menu bar itself. Personally I just look at my Series 7 and see the temp.
Finally it came! Took Apple long enough. Though I'm not sure how useful the clock app will work on a iMac.
Well, I am happy that Apple is bringing its own weather app to macOS. We already had the widget and everything time we clicked on the weather, a website had to be opened. Having an app is much better. This is nothing major of course, but adds to the overall experience of using Apple products and services.
Awesome, loving the way weather looks. now lets get calculator on iPad! 
It’s silly macOS doesn’t have the Translate.app. It would be perfect for it. As well as, Health.app & Wallet.app with a better focus on money management.
Totally agree. I've been requesting these additions for a while. I'd use all three of those apps probably daily on my Mac.
With the Health app, it's especially annoying that it's not still on the iPad and Mac because all the data is already synced and stored in iCloud, anyway - so if you have, say, two iPhones signed into the same account, all your data is synced. All they need to do is port it over to the larger-screened devices. I just want to be able to view my (very important) health app data on my own Apple devices. Why is that so hard.
What about the calculator?! Also, what the hell took them so long to do this? It's not like we don't pay Apple a princely figure for these devices and, by extension, their OSes.
Nice, I was thinking of getting some good weather appy-thing to the Studio.
On my MBA I have an old weather geeklet that works like charm. Not so easy to transfer it however.

This so sad. We are so happy when we get (ported) weather app and a new clock? Really? And on top of our wish list we have calculator 🤣 Oh my.. So this is the current state of Apple and WWDC. Apple events used to be so much more exciting years back. Now they are just boring.
Well, what do you know? It turns out Mac OS X DP2 did have a Clock.app, but that didn't survive to 10.0 (Cheetah). For a quick throwback, here's a screenshot. Clock.app doesn't actually open anything per se, but it does have a preferences menu to select settings, etc. I assume this was a remanent application from NeXT.
That's awesome. Thanks for pointing that out
23 years later it made it out of the beta...
When the safari translate feature came out I requested that it be exposed as a text Service so you can just use it on any selectable text.
