Why is there no wallet app on macOS?

There is no way to display Apple Wallet items in Mac. Why is this? Only Apple Pay is shown. What about all of the other things stored in Wallet?

Mac mini, macOS 14.6

What would be the purpose? I can’t use any of the cards anywhere. What’s going to scan the QR or barcode on my Mac’s screen? If I need by AAA membership number or expiration date I open the AAA app or website.

Since you feel strongly about this I suggest you provide Apple your feedback. Apple doesn’t review comments in the forums for content.

Feedback - Apple Pay - Apple

Apple Pay requires NFC and Macs do not have NFC. Therefore Macs have no need for a Wallet. The Settings on a Mac may offer a Wallet & Apple Pay section to enable settings for using Apple Pay on a merchant’s website.

I’m talking about other things in wallet like my AAA card, my AARP card etc. MacOS should be able to display the contents of the wallet!
