Things I Can’t Live Without -Stage Manager on Mac

If you want to stay focused and keep your desktop clutter-free, start using Stage Manager.

The new macOS Ventura update is full of features and improvements. My favorite is the addition of Stage Manager to organize apps and windows on Mac. 

Previously, if you wanted to keep multiple windows open at the same time on your Mac, you had a few options. Still, none of these options allowed you to keep thumbnails of open windows visible on screen while you worked in a way that helped you focus on one while making the others easily accessible. That’s where Stage Manager comes into play. 

macOS Ventura Stage Manager shows the app you’re currently using in the center of the screen. Other apps you’re using appear as thumbnails on the side. Each thumbnail shows a live view of its window, so you can see updates, such as incoming messages, without switching to that window. 

These are time-saving features that I can get behind. So start using Stage Manager and see how much more productive it makes you.
