Phone App allows you to call from your Mac via your iPhone with the phone still in your pocket. Just type any phone number you want to call and press enter, or start typing one of your contacts name and it will instantly search and show top 3 matches. It runs directly from your toolbar with a less-is-more interface. With the introduction of new macOS, 10.14 Mojave, Apple started building iOS-like apps for Macs. Aside from the adaption to the big screen, the apps look and work exactly the way they do on your iPhone or iPad. As of this writing, there are four iOS apps you can use on an updated Mac: Home; News; Voice Memos; Stocks.
If you prefer to manually update all your apps, you can turn off automatic updates.
When you download an app on one device, the app isn't automatically installed on your other devices. But if you want apps that you purchase to be downloaded on all of your devices, you can turn on Automatic Downloads.

If you want to download the icons for first-party apps such as App Store itself, this shortcut won’t help because it needs the app to be listed on one of these app stores.
