HOM 27: Organizing Windows (Magnet Tiles & Workspaces)

Work in multiple spaces on Mac If the desktop on your Mac gets cluttered with open app windows, you can use Mission Control to create additional desktops, called spaces, to organize the windows. When you work in a space, you see only the windows that are in that space. If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can set an option in Keyboard preferences to show spaces in the Touch Bar. Then just tap a space to open it. If you assign an app (or System Preferences) to a specific space, the app will always open in that space.   Use apps in Split View on Mac Many apps on your Mac support Split View mode, where you can work in two apps side by side at the same time. To use apps in Split View on other displays, make sure the "Displays have separate Spaces" tick box is selected in Mission Control preferences.   Third-Party Solutions ‎Magnet https://apps.apple.com/us/app/magnet/id441258766?mt=12 Moom https://apps.apple.com/us/app/moom/id419330170?mt=12 Tiles https://freemacsoft.net/tiles/   Leo Laporte gives you helpful tips to get the most from your Mac every week on Hands-On Mac!
