What is it about?
In this video, we’re exploring the many split-screen options on Mac – as well as weighing up their pros and cons.
Mac’s native split screen tool, for instance, is super easy to use – we’ll show you how – and, if you have macOS Monterrey or later, can even let you swap your tiled windows. But there are two big problems: you can only split your screen into two, and the feature doesn’t support all apps.
That’s why we’re delving into some other cool split-screen options. We start with Mosaic, a near-limitless window-managing app, and explain how to organize your split-screen layout any way you’d like.
If you’re looking for a split-screen app that doubles up as a game-changing trackpad controller, why not check out Swish? Swish offers multiple split screen options, as well as a bunch of other trackpad customizations you’ll never tire of playing around with.
