Menlo was replaced as the system monospaced font: in Mac OS 10.11, with a new Apple-made monospaced font called "SF Mono", a monospaced variant of the San Francisco family of fonts that Apple has created as part of its corporate identity. It is not installed as a user-accessible typeface by default, although it is included with and used by Xcode.

SF Mono can be installed on macOS by downloading it from the Apple Developer website. Even if it is installed by the user, SF Mono's license agreement is extraordinarily restrictive; it limits use of the font "solely in conjunction with Apple-branded applications", and it is not allowed to be embedded anywhere. Any other use of the typeface requires written consent from Apple.^{[citation needed]}
