macOS Ventura will be the new operating system on many Macs in autumn and will bring various new functions with it. This also includes a new window management option that Apple has dubbed Stage Manager.
This should bring more order to your desktop and could possibly help to improve your workflow a bit. You can find this function in the Control Center and activate it by clicking on the respective tile.
The Mac then arranges the windows so that only one is in focus and all other currently open programs slide to the left. If you don’t want to see the other apps, you can set this by tapping the tile in the Control Center again.
If you hide the apps, you then have a completely clean desktop.
The real advantage of the tool is not that you only see one app and all the others are sidelined. You can now drag windows from the other apps into your existing mode and thus create window/app combinations.
If you then open another open app, the combination slips to the edge and can then be displayed as a bundle again.
This makes it easy to create workflow-optimized combinations. But what Apple has forgotten: I would like to be able to save such combinations or a specific Stage Manager status and, if desired, retrieve it directly after a reboot.
At the moment I’m not sure whether this is actually of any use to me or whether I’ll continue to switch quickly to the desired window via Control-Tab or Mission Control or create a window set with Rectangle.
