How to add widgets to the macOS Sonoma Desktop

The key new feature in macOS Sonoma is the ability to add widgets to the Desktop. They're no longer banished to the notification shade that slides open when you click on the time in the menu bar. In Sonoma, widgets can exist anywhere on the Desktop, so you can see them all the time. This new widget implementation gives you instant access to the information you need. Let's look at how to add widgets to your Desktop.

Check out our macOS Sonoma guide (fave.co/42clBqT) for more information about the latest version of the Mac operating system.

1. EDIT WIDGETS

When you first install macOS Sonoma, you can find your widgets as before by clicking the date and time in the menu bar. In the sidebar that appears, you'll find a tab for the new Desktop widgets. You can click it to get started, but if you don't see that section, just click Edit Widgets at the bottom of the column.

You can also Control-click (or two-finger tap on a trackpad) on the Finder and select Edit Widgets in the pop-up menu.

2. PICK YOUR WIDGETS 

The widget browser will appear from the bottom of the screen. Peruse the browser until you find the widget you want. You'll find that widgets are available in different sizes and styles. For example, the Clock widget has options for displaying the time in a different city, or options for a World Clock.
