#Cleaner for mac screens windows

I think this would work great in some instances, like when you want to browse the web in Safari, take notes in Pages, and keep an eye on a video in YouTube.

One is to give one app half of the screen, while another two occupy the rest of the space vertically - like having two apps open in Slide Over mode.Īnother option could be to have one app take up half of the screen, while another two occupy the other side, one above the other - like the multitasking mode that’s so handy on Samsung’s Galaxy Fold. I’d like the ability to have three apps open simultaneously in Split View, and I think there are a number of ways this could be implemented effectively. Now that Apple has simplified multitasking, however, I think it’s time to see some new multitasking modes in iPadOS 16. I don’t think true windowed multitasking would work all that well on iPad itself (but more on that later), so what we have right now in iPadOS 15 may be the best we’re going to get. It’s a far less frustrating experience, and one of the improvements I’m pleased to see in iPadOS 15. But I am consciously trying to use the new multitasking menu as much as I can in the hope that I’ll get used to using it exclusively in time. I still find myself using iPad’s original multitasking gestures from time to time - that habit will take a little while to kick. You can tap any of them to jump right to it, or swipe up on one to close it (as long as it’s not active at the time).

The shelf shows you all the windows you have open for the app that’s active, with a preview so you can see what’s going on inside each of them.

Alternatively, if you have a Magic Keyboard attached, you can use the Globe+Down Arrow shortcut. You can access the shelf inside any app by swiping up to reveal the Dock, then tapping the app’s icon. The shelf Navigating app instances is easier with the shelf. But I much prefer to use the multitasking menu or the new keyboard shortcuts, which make everything simpler and a lot less fiddly - especially when using a Magic Keyboard or Apple Pencil. If you’re a real fan of drag-and-drop gestures, you also can create Split View spaces in the App Switcher in iPadOS 15 by dragging one app over another. Or, if you’re using a Magic Keyboard, you can send an app to the right using the Control+Globe+Left Arrow shortcut. You can initiate multitasking from inside your second app (the one you want to appear on the left), or swap your apps over once they’re in Split View. Sadly, the multitasking menu doesn’t give you the option to put apps on the right of the screen, but there are other ways. Multitasking made easier The multitasking menu makes everything easier. If you’re already in one of these modes, there’s a button that will send your chosen app back to the fullscreen view. The menu provides options to move your app to the left side of the screen in Split View or Slide Over, then lets you choose a second app to open on the right.
