Apologies for the unusual screen resolution. The video was captured directly on a 14" MacBook Pro. But if you're watching a MacBook Pro, it shouldn't look too bad :)
I honestly just don’t see the benefit unfortunately. I really enjoy using different desktops and command tabbing between - it’s like I have multiple displays. Stage manager just looks like a new shot at minimise. Perhaps people who are new to Mac, who maybe don’t know how to create new desktop spaces etc, will find this more approachable.
I think what Apple assume is that pro users working on the iPad M1 will be using Stage Manager and for them having that x-platform will be value added. Neither iPadOS or macOS forces you to use it. I feel that I will try it, give it a good chance and see after six months if I prefer it. I am neutral at the moment but as it is a choice I feel that it is worth having than not.
@@andyH_England good point, I can see the benefit for that iPad to Mac transition for new users and it looks great on iPad (although it still find it a shame that my 5 month old iPad mini won’t support this - different conversations though!). Yeah, agree with you in regards to options. Always better to have more than we need than less.
I've been using macs for about 13 years now and I must say this is something that the Mac ecosystem was missing big time. I really like how Windows 10 and 11 handles the window to the point where if I'm on another "desktop" the tapps on my previous desktop won't show on my dock, etc. I will now be able to nest a word doc, chrome window, photoshop file, illustrator file in one space and then for another client I can have another chrome window open, another photoshop and other files needed to do my work. The video was right about the carousel and adding more than 6 and also a way to label them, save them and a way to back up in case you have all your apps set in specific areas of your setup if you have external displays.
I don't get which problem Stage Manager solves on a mac. To me it looks very cluttered and complicated. You have a dock to see your running apps, why add another dock on the left side but limit this to only 6 apps? Personally i think Stage Manager will go the route of the touchbar: No further development from Apple cause nearly nobody will use it and then it will be out of macOS in a few years.
If you don’t want to use an external monitor, you probably don’t need stage manager, but if you do, it’s a _big_ step up over screen mirroring. Granted, external display support could have been made much simpler without stage manager (and thus useable for non-M1 iPads!), but Apple is Apple…
@@SilentG20 Unfortunately I think you’re right. I can see this being updated and eventually replacing spaces. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same thing happened with launchpad and the ios app library in the future.
It solves the problem when you have to many windows (multiple finder windows or whatever) and it’s easy just to push everything out of the way that you do t need to get at something else and then bring them back again when you need them.
I don't understand this feature. I really don't. It does more or less the same as the dock and desktop screens. This just adds more complexity. The two simple things that I really want are: 1) window snap 2) Stay on top
Windows does it better... and no, MS Window snapping is not patented, ChromeOS and Samsung Tablets also have MS Windows type window snapping. Honestly, Apple is just avoiding 'copying' the most sensible way of window management/snapping/taskbar and in doing so the have made a mess.
@@marcel151 ChromeOS snaps windows exactly like Windows. Samsung android Tablets snap windows exactly like Windows. I think you are making things up. Apple wasn't to be different and sometimes being different is being stupid.
It simply takes up too much screen real estate. Imagine having the dock + stage manager on a 13 inch screen, ridiculous when Windows can do a similar thing with the tiny start menu
if you like your dock on the left side this very annoying i tried it. they should let you choose what side to put it on because some people put their docks on the sides.
Stage manager is bad for four reasons. 1. A redundant feature of the existing macOS Spaces feature. 2. Stage Manager adds clutter to the screen by not using the entire screen. 3. It’s another one of Apple’s half baked features that may be semi-useful but it won’t be further improved in the future. 4. Not compatible on all devices, only some.
1. It is not redundant, Apple is just offering a different option. You can use macOS as before if you want! 2. You can use the whole screen in Stage Manager by hiding the bars. Then you use shortcuts (trackpad or keyboard) to access your tabs or apps. 3. Apple has said that this is new and will be built on for the future. What evidence do you have that it will be forgotten? 4. It is compatible on all macOS Ventura devices and all M-iPad Pros, not non-M1 iPads due to the lack of RAM and swap. Not sure where the issue is there?
1: disagree. when they said they had a new way to manage windows, i was like damn.. better be actually good. when they showed this, i was happy because its like spaces but you can keep it all in view which is what i would prefer greatly. popping between groups of windows is great. forget about stuff in other spaces personally. 2: my screen is big enough personally, i usually have windows open with free space around them. 3: half baked, we will see when its actually released. 4: so is expose and plenty of other features.
Having used Stage Manager for a few weeks now I feel it is very meh and not the solution I need/want. Keyboard navigation is still hot garbage on macOS without third party tools and window management itself isn't *improved* with Stage Manager, it is just different. They could have easily saved desktop space by integrating the Stage Manager changes into the dock by changing the app icon to the app window preview. A real over thought and engineered "solution" that isn't really very good but is covered up with a "pretty" UI. Honestly all they needed to do is add tiling functionality and better keyboard navigation; basically some of the simpler features from a tiling window manager such as i3wm and snapping from Windows/KDE/GNOME.
I don't know, it looks like a mess. I'm on Mac since 2006 but window management is something that Windows seems to just do better. And no, I'm not trying to use MacOS like Windows - I do utilize things like Spaces, Expose, fullscreen, hiding, all that. But it still feels messy.
Neither are perfect, my main Windows gripe is that hen I restart it randomly decides whether to restore apps and then dumps them in one space rather than where they were before the restart, macOS does that seemlessly correctly. I still prefer Apple’s implementation of virtaul desktops, though Windows has improved in the last 2-3 years. Other than that they are both pretty solid and I can live with either.
@@andyH_England yes, spaces are infinitely better on MacOS - I prefer Macs very much but the very working with windows is somehow less messy and more precise on Windows.
With vanilla state for both OS, I agree with you that Windows has better window management. But with third party window tiliing/snap utility like rectangle or magnet, I think macOS gets better with them.
What if I don’t want any screen space left. I want the Dock, the Menu Bar, stage manager and a giant notch at the top of the screen to take up all the space leaving me a 2inch x 2inch space for all my open windows. Lol.
Stage manager hides the inactive applications when you are using it on the newest version. there is also settings to customize how you want it, like if you want to hide stage manager or keep it on the screen. its like when you have "hide my dock" selected
I think Stage Manager could be functionally better if it hid the Dock and took its place, or just minimized the windows to the docks as a group. That would have been awesome. macOS' window handling is still terrible, you can't maximize a lot of app windows to fit the screen (not full screen mode) without the help of third-party apps like Rectangle. Even Cmd + Tab isn't good enough in my opinion, it lacks the ability to cycle between app windows, something which the AltTab app is capable of. These are areas which Apple could have addressed, instead of introducing yet another window management option. In addition, taskbar previews in the dock - like Windows 10/11 - would have been very useful.
You can actually cycle between app Windows using Cmd + ` (backtick, not single quote, usually above the tab key). That said, I don't love Apple's implementation of this as it cycles between all open windows, rather than just the windows for the currently active app.
@@andrzejkucharzyk9970 Ya Cmd + ` definitely only cycles between the active app's windows. You can also un-minimize a window by using Command + Tab, and when you cycle to the app with the minimized window, press Option and then release Cmd. Apple's window management is actually extremely powerful, but people need to take the time to learn it.
@@InactivePhoenix Agree with the others. Just like you can CMD Tab, you can CMD tilde instead. It's the button right above tab (~`). CMD tab cycles through every window, and CMD tilde cycles through only the windows of the open application you're currently viewing. Like you an have 10 safari windows open, and it'll scroll through those exactly like you scroll through open apps with CMD tab. It's really helpful.
If you put different windows at the same stage one right after the other without any position difference they get harder to reach. I had 3 different windows of my browser running and needed to access them easily. I expected the stage manager to allow me to hover over the stage preview and then choose the window I wanted but instead upon clicking on the preview it popped all of them and I had to reach them by minimizing and searching among them for where is which. I would certainly like to see a miniature of each window within the preview. Maybe by expanding the windows side by side.
This is exactly my beef with stage manager at this time. You can press space and see a zoom of a pic, but you can't hit space and see the different windows you've got nested in stage manager? I think it will become an option in later releases, but I'm definitely anxious for it. That's the only thing holding me back from actually liking the feature.
@@ABeautifulMine Maybe you already figured this out, but if you click on the application icon under the stage manager 'minimized' windows, you'll see a list of all the windows open for that specific application. This only works for windows of the same app though, because if you have multiple apps in a single space it will only show the same stacked preview, just a little bit bigger.
It hides when you start to use windows in the newest version. it has a setting that hides all of the not used applications until you put your curser to the edge of the screen, same concept as hiding your dock
Does not work well if you like using windows maximised, and if your main display is an external monitor, with your MacBook arranged to the left of the main display. The stage manager previews disappear when you're in a maximised window, and you have to very careful position the mouse at the edge of the screen to get stage manager to appear. I have my dock on the far right of my desktop. Would like to be able to move stage manager to the right side of my desktop.
Its not really any good. You could easily use Spaces (virtual Desktops) before and it was a breeze. This just seems totally impractical. it takes screen real estate and is kinda distracting. I am currently on the recent betas of ipados16 and ventura. And it is just plain confusing getting efficient under these circumstances. A simple practical thing would be just to hit a button and hav a focus on one window. and not putting recents under a new radar. this seems to be more effort than its worth. Small edit: I work as a real professional with several heavy usage Apps like C4D, After Effects, Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator etc. And this is just a hindrance in workflow efficiency.
I just can't understand how Stage Manager and Desktop view work together ... I have some files on my Desktop and want drop one of them on another app. If Stage Manager is off it works as Drag and Drop but with stage manager On the Desktop disappears if any app is inactive and if Desktop view is active the apps disappearing. What can I do to keep the Desktop and active App visible at the same time ? I am using a lot dropping something from the desktop to active application so now it's almost unusable unless I turn off the Stage Manager. Any suggestions are welcome
Stage Manger adds more complexity to already messed up windows management in MacOS. They should just replace the dock with stage manager. Inactive icons in the Dock makes no sense
I am loving Stage Manager. I use a 32" 4K monitot so having the programs sitting there on the left of the screen really doesn't use up any real useful space to me. The grouping of apps is very nice.
Hey bro what's up. I am from India. I have MacBook Pro m1 13 inch. I am confused to whether download macOS Ventura is it stable??? what's ur opinion. yeah I know its in beta so definitely not fully stable but is their any major bug which can hamper performance of Mac Please reply brother. If not is it safe to download Ventura on my main MacBook?
@@suyashpratapsingh445 It's my nature to tinker with things and test out betas so I couldn't resist installing Ventura. So far my experience has been very positive, with no major bugs, but of course your results may vary. I'm running it on my base model M1 Studio Max and performance has not been hampered at all. I have a Time Machine backup SSD so I know I can bail out and go back to Big Sur any time if things get too wonky.
@@bryans8656 thnks for the explaination. One more question public beta will have less bugs or if I have to avoid that too?? Have u any info about public beta release date.
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way of managing this from the keyboard, unless I just haven't found it. Apple used to be so great about keyboard shortcuts and keeping people away from the mouse, but since the iPhone's release they seem to be progressively moving entirely in the other direction and forcing people to use the mouse or trackpad.
It is quite possible that Apple started low to get it up and running. Then again, maybe 16GB iPad Pros will only get more multi-tasking, though that would confuse and lead to the usual culprits claiming Apple has restrited their 8GB iPads; I am assuming the Ipad Pro M2 will have a 24GB RAM option so seems logical.
I see you have six Stage Manager windows on your left. I can only get four! Is there anywhere where I could check that? I've tried settings but there's nothing that will indicate that.
if you have the option "hide the dock" on it will hide and both will pop out when you move your curser close. If you have "hide your dock" disabled the stage manager moves to the right side.
Now if they could only bring true external display to the other ipads….Limit it to 1 app on the external screen. I just want full width of the screen and not a cropped view
Is Apple planning to get rid of desktop mode? I still don't understand why macOS need Stage Manager when using Mac alone. I think desktop mode is way more useful on 13 to 16inch screens 🧐🧐
I can't for the life on me understand why I would use this. I get it on an iPad , but a MacBook No. It looks like live multi-desktops. Or, I could just put the menu bar on the left. It just seems like we are looking for a new gimmick rather than something truly useful.
I have my dock on the left side (where the stage manager windows are), how does stage manager interact with this? Will I be forced to move the doc to the bottom?
if you have the option "hide the dock" on it will hide and both will pop out when you move your curser close. If you have "hide your dock" disabled the stage manager moves to the right side.
for me this function is not really intuitive, i cannot really see, what they resolved. what i miss from the win/linux - the close/minimize (the mac solution is really confusing), minimize every windows shortcut, and the window splitting on uw screen (i use a 3rd party, and it is very basic feature at the new os). i like the mac, but the windows management is the worst from the three biggest os.
apple is trying to find out some new ideal window management instead of implementing already existing and best solution - taskbar with all opened windows :-(
Not useful at all for me. I've been using mission control for long time and putting it in the hot corner. So when i move my mouse to the left bottom corner, i can see all opened programs with bigger thumbnail than the stage manager, and just click any thumbnail to switch. Same functionality but even better.
I used to like HDR now it’s just annoyingly bright and hard on my eyes. I usually close any HDR video right away on my iPad Pro.

Spaces in macOS are something completely different. Those are different desktops. Stage Manager doesnt have anything called "space". Its just Stage Manager.
stage manager hides. and would you rather them just give you a thick bezel at the top of the laptop. the aspect ration below the menu bar is the same as any older MacBook, all they did was move the menu bar up and make a cutout for the camera
That's just a piece of crap. I don't understand why they don't simply use gnome style window management. They don't have to reinvent the wheel. So annoying.
I think that Stage Manager is completely useless. macOS dock is enough. Not to mention that windows management in macOS is totally fucked up and should be completely redesigned.

Why do you lock 🔐 screen brightness on your videos?

You can window snap now! you need to hold option and then snap options appear when you hover over the green button.
You can also maximize window (as opposed to full screen mode) by holding down the option key and hitting the green "zoom" button.
This is the best tip ever! you can finally make apps auto fill half the screen without having to be in that annoying 'full screen' mode
I have tried the Stage Manager, and unfortunately, I failed to find it any good. What difference does it make when I can do the same using the Dock?

Hey bro what's up. I am from India. I have MacBook Pro m1 13 inch. I am confused to whether download macOS Ventura is it stable??? what's ur opinion. yeah I know its in beta so definitely not fully stable but is their any major bug which can hamper performance of Mac Please reply brother. If not is it safe to download Ventura on my main MacBook?
@@suyashpratapsingh445 It's my nature to tinker with things and test out betas so I couldn't resist installing Ventura. So far my experience has been very positive, with no major bugs, but of course your results may vary. I'm running it on my base model M1 Studio Max and performance has not been hampered at all. I have a Time Machine backup SSD so I know I can bail out and go back to Big Sur any time if things get too wonky.
@@bryans8656 thnks for the explaination. One more question public beta will have less bugs or if I have to avoid that too?? Have u any info about public beta release date.
@@suyashpratapsingh445 I believe the public beta will be released this month.
@@bryans8656 hi bro have u tried downloading macis ventura on separate volume is it safe nd I think it will work pls tell ?????
For me, Mission Control works best and is less clunky... can use keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, etc.
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way of managing this from the keyboard, unless I just haven't found it. Apple used to be so great about keyboard shortcuts and keeping people away from the mouse, but since the iPhone's release they seem to be progressively moving entirely in the other direction and forcing people to use the mouse or trackpad.
I need to have different browser tabs in different spaces. That'll be lit
Thankfully, now they did add the option to have desktop items visible with stage manager enabled.
it hides away if you need the screen space just like the dock can be hidden
Has shift+click been mentioned? Try it. You’re welcome.
If Stage Manager was like Samsung Dex, it would be a game changer for the IPad.
I wish I can create group a set of applications that I frequently use daily on the stage manager.
Hopefully the iPad version evolves to be equally functional without the limit to number of running apps.
It is quite possible that Apple started low to get it up and running. Then again, maybe 16GB iPad Pros will only get more multi-tasking, though that would confuse and lead to the usual culprits claiming Apple has restrited their 8GB iPads; I am assuming the Ipad Pro M2 will have a 24GB RAM option so seems logical.
i can not find the option hide recent apps while clicking stage manager button. what to do?
I see you have six Stage Manager windows on your left. I can only get four! Is there anywhere where I could check that? I've tried settings but there's nothing that will indicate that.
looks like the end of endless switching between different desks :) just need to make sure all my apps do work properly on that new OS.
what is the virtualbuddy program?
on my Mac there's mail icon that I didn't use but it doesn't goes away so its kinda annoying to me :/
Great video thanks!
What happens if you keep your dock on the left side?
if you have the option "hide the dock" on it will hide and both will pop out when you move your curser close. If you have "hide your dock" disabled the stage manager moves to the right side.
Just disable that sh***
Why the video is so bright on my iPad
HDR
Now if they could only bring true external display to the other ipads….Limit it to 1 app on the external screen. I just want full width of the screen and not a cropped view
is it not the same than the docks ? the thing on the top of the screen ...
Or you could just use the dock?
This feature just feels like a developer at Apple misses his Windows computer.
It doesn't work very well if you have a very wide screen such as 48 inch.
stage manager is very cool
honestly stage manager is great
Is Apple planning to get rid of desktop mode? I still don't understand why macOS need Stage Manager when using Mac alone. I think desktop mode is way more useful on 13 to 16inch screens 🧐🧐
I can't for the life on me understand why I would use this. I get it on an iPad , but a MacBook No. It looks like live multi-desktops. Or, I could just put the menu bar on the left. It just seems like we are looking for a new gimmick rather than something truly useful.
I wonder if Apple will ever catch up with Microsoft Windows without looking like they are trying to copy Windows.
So... the screen recording is in SDR, the video creator mapped it to HDR, then it hurts my eyes, I mapped it back to SDR, great!
I have my dock on the left side (where the stage manager windows are), how does stage manager interact with this? Will I be forced to move the doc to the bottom?
if you have the option "hide the dock" on it will hide and both will pop out when you move your curser close. If you have "hide your dock" disabled the stage manager moves to the right side.
Will they add the drag on angles to multitask like on windows? I need that
@@Canalebrandon oh thanks but it would be nice if it was native
How to remove feedback assistant from mac after unenrolling from beta ??
for me this function is not really intuitive, i cannot really see, what they resolved. what i miss from the win/linux - the close/minimize (the mac solution is really confusing), minimize every windows shortcut, and the window splitting on uw screen (i use a 3rd party, and it is very basic feature at the new os). i like the mac, but the windows management is the worst from the three biggest os.
What utility did you use to get Mac system preferences to show up in that list view ?
That's how System Preferences looks in Ventura. No utility required, just a whole new OS!
apple is trying to find out some new ideal window management instead of implementing already existing and best solution - taskbar with all opened windows :-(
Not useful at all for me. I've been using mission control for long time and putting it in the hot corner. So when i move my mouse to the left bottom corner, i can see all opened programs with bigger thumbnail than the stage manager, and just click any thumbnail to switch. Same functionality but even better.
Which keys are used to switch around?
What apps you guys recommend to make macos's windows manager better??
Magnet is great and gives you Windows style window snapping with mappable hotkeys. I think it's a few bucks though as a 1-time purchase
Where did you get the wallpaper for the mac?
it's built in to the Macos Ventura beta
It occurs an error in stage manager in opera browser.
I instantly get a look at open windows by pressing the F3 button on keyboard. I won't go near Stage Manager.
how capture mac screen video in hdr?
i dont see the point, mac as it is works pretty well, maybe it may work for iPad.
after updating Microsoft Edge is so lag
I used to like HDR now it’s just annoyingly bright and hard on my eyes. I usually close any HDR video right away on my iPad Pro.
Spaces in macOS are something completely different. Those are different desktops. Stage Manager doesnt have anything called "space". Its just Stage Manager.
I wish I could manage windows better. Windows 10/11 is significantly better in this area.
What’s up with this aspect ratio? 🤨
man i like hdr but for this kind of video it's just overkill and painful for the eyes
Dock at bottom, menu bar at top, notch at top, stage manager on left. You’ll need a 65” screen. Lol. So lame.
stage manager hides. and would you rather them just give you a thick bezel at the top of the laptop. the aspect ration below the menu bar is the same as any older MacBook, all they did was move the menu bar up and make a cutout for the camera
Mine always autohides even when it’s autohide is disabled, M1 MacBook Air
probably a bug, there are 1000’s of the pesky things. Three plus months before release so plenty of time for Apple to fix.
@@andyH_England The Beta Life
Basically multitasking on chrome isn’t great on Mac
why your video is sooo bright )
Cool video for iPad ratio lol
Embarrassing @Apple! 14“ MacBooks will love the feature of now more smaller windows on Stage! G*** Dam**** Am I Pi*** o*
No thanks😏 Command + tab enough for me😂
I found it irritating are stopped it.
I dont know, I just feel that this is kind of messy....
I like it. Stage Manager can only improve from here.
Storage manager, I saw this on linux, it is called disk manager.
Every two years Apple reinvents spaces / virtual desktops.
ONYX
HDR ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
This is so stupid. macOS already has Spaces with different desktops which accomplishes everything from Stage Manager is such a better way.
it's too complicated.
Who asked for this? My God.
Why can't we have minimize like in Windows???
That's just a piece of crap. I don't understand why they don't simply use gnome style window management. They don't have to reinvent the wheel. So annoying.
I think that Stage Manager is completely useless. macOS dock is enough. Not to mention that windows management in macOS is totally fucked up and should be completely redesigned.
Looks horrific. Takes up too much space on the screen.
it hides
Please clean your screen lol
Pretty short answer: Yes, it's good.
