macOS Mojave deprecates support for several legacy features of the OS. The graphics frameworks OpenGL and OpenCL are still supported by the operating system, but will no longer be maintained; developers are encouraged to use Apple's Metal library instead.{{cite news|url=https://www.imore.com/opengl-and-opencl-be-depreciated-ios-12-and-macos-mojave|title=OpenGL and OpenCL to be deprecated in iOS 12 and macOS Mojave|first=Anthony|last=Casella|date=June 5, 2018|work=iMore|access-date=July 12, 2018|archive-date=October 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201030201216/https://www.imore.com/opengl-and-opencl-be-depreciated-ios-12-and-macos-mojave|url-status=live}}

OpenGL is a cross-platform graphics framework designed to support a wide range of processors. Apple chose OpenGL in the late 1990s to build support for software graphics rendering into the Mac, after abandoning QuickDraw 3D. At the time, moving to OpenGL allowed Apple to take advantage of existing libraries that enabled hardware acceleration on a variety of different GPUs. As time went on, Apple has shifted its efforts towards building its hardware platforms for mobile and desktop use. Metal makes use of the homogenized hardware by abandoning the abstraction layer and running on the "bare metal". Metal reduces CPU load, shifting more tasks to the GPU. It reduces driver overhead and improves multithreading, allowing every CPU thread to send commands to the GPU.{{cite web|url=https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/06/28/why-macos-mojave-requires-metal----and-deprecates-opengl|title=Why macOS Mojave requires Metal — and deprecates OpenGL|last=Dilger|first=Daniel E.|work=Apple Insider|date=June 28, 2018|access-date=October 12, 2018|archive-date=November 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111232828/https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/06/28/why-macos-mojave-requires-metal----and-deprecates-opengl|url-status=live}}

macOS does not natively support Vulkan, the Khronos group's official successor to OpenGL. The MoltenVK library can be used as a bridge, translating most of the Vulkan 1.0 API into the Metal API.{{cite news|url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/02/vulkan-is-coming-to-macos-ios-but-no-thanks-to-apple|title=Vulkan is coming to macOS and iOS, but no thanks to Apple|work=Ars Technica|access-date=June 19, 2018|archive-date=June 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180616120408/https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/02/vulkan-is-coming-to-macos-ios-but-no-thanks-to-apple/|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/12465/khronos-group-extends-vulkan-portability-with-opensource|title=Bringing Vulkan to Apple's Platforms: Khronos Group Announces Open Source MoltenVK 1.0 & SDKs|last=Oh|first=Nate|work=Anandtech|access-date=June 19, 2018|archive-date=November 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130103540/http://www3.anandtech.com/show/12465/khronos-group-extends-vulkan-portability-with-opensource|url-status=live}}

Continuing the process started in macOS High Sierra (10.13), which issued warnings about compatibility with 32-bit applications, Mojave issues warnings when opening 32-bit apps that they will not be supported in future updates. In macOS Mojave 10.14, this alert appears once every 30 days when launching the app, as macOS 10.15 will not support 32-bit applications.

When Mojave is installed, it will convert solid-state drives (SSDs), hard disk drives (HDDs), and Fusion Drives, from HFS Plus to APFS. On Fusion Drives using APFS, files will be moved to the SSD based on the file's frequency of use and its SSD performance profile. APFS will also store all metadata for a Fusion Drive's file system on the SSD.{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/features/2018/09/macos-10-14-mojave-the-ars-technica-review/3/#h2|title=macOS 10.14 Mojave: The Ars Technica review|last=Cunningham|first=Andrew|date=September 24, 2018|at=APFS updates for hard drives and Fusion Drives|access-date=January 14, 2019|archive-date=November 12, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112020030/https://arstechnica.com/features/2018/09/macos-10-14-mojave-the-ars-technica-review/3/#h2|url-status=live}}

Mojave was generally well received by technology press. The Verge{{'}}s Jacob Kastrenakes considered Mojave a relatively minor update and typical of 2010s macOS releases,{{cite web|author=Kastrenakes, Jacob|date=September 24, 2018|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/24/17896252/mac-os-mojave-review-updates-dark-mode-new-features|title=MacOS Mojave Review: Dark Mode and a Preview of the Mac's Future|website=The Verge|access-date=September 19, 2019|archive-date=November 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109011539/https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/24/17896252/mac-os-mojave-review-updates-dark-mode-new-features|url-status=live}} but Kastrenakes and Jason Snell thought the release hinted at the future direction of macOS.{{cite web|author=Snell, Jason|author-link=Jason Snell (writer)|date=September 24, 2018|url=https://sixcolors.com/post/2018/09/mojave|title=macOS Mojave review: At the inflection point|website=Six Colors|access-date=September 19, 2019|archive-date=June 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190606023356/https://sixcolors.com/post/2018/09/mojave/|url-status=live}} In contrast, Ars Technica{{'}}s Andrew Cunningham felt that "Mojave feels, if not totally transformative, at least more consequential than the last few macOS releases have felt." Cunningham highlighted productivity improvements and continued work on macOS's foundation.{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/features/2018/09/macos-10-14-mojave-the-ars-technica-review|title=macOS 10.14 Mojave: The Ars Technica review|last=Cunningham|first=Andrew|date=September 24, 2018|access-date=September 18, 2019|website=Ars Technica|pages=1–13|archive-date=July 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190723234233/https://arstechnica.com/features/2018/09/macos-10-14-mojave-the-ars-technica-review/|url-status=live}} TechCrunch's Brian Heater dubbed Mojave "arguably the most focused macOS release in recent memory", playing an important role in reassuring professional users that it was still committed to them.{{cite web|author=Heater, Brian|date=September 24, 2018|url=https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/24/macos-10-14-mojave-review|title=MacOS 10.14 Mojave Review|website=TechCrunch|access-date=July 23, 2019|archive-date=July 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190723190409/https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/24/macos-10-14-mojave-review/|url-status=live}}

Mojave's new features were generally praised.
