Screenshot filenames are difficult to customize

The built-in screenshot tool works well, but changing the filename pattern requires a Terminal command instead of a simple setting.

Notification settings are scattered across too many screens

Adjusting banners, sounds, badges, summaries, and focus behavior for one app can require visiting several different settings areas.

The menu bar hides useful icons when space gets tight

On smaller displays, menu bar items can disappear behind the app menus with no built-in way to decide which icons should remain visible.
