Make use of split–screen

WHILE MANY OF us keep lots of apps open on our Macs, it can often make focusing on the task at hand a little problematic. Thankfully, our Macs feature a neat built–in feature that allows you to run apps in split-screen, which is incredibly handy for studying, for example.

> Using split–screen

Assigning two different apps to tiles on either side of the screen can greatly improve your focus because it cuts out all other distractions.

> EXITING SPLIT–SCREEN

You can exit split–screen mode at any time by hovering your cursor over the green circle in the top– left and then choosing the “Exit Full Screen” option.

> ACCESS THE MENU BAR

Your Mac’s menu bar is removed in split–screen mode, but you can access it easily at any time simply by moving your mouse cursor to the top of the screen.

> TILED APPS

When you tile windows to the left and right of the screen, equal prominence is given to each one while blocking out everything else from your desktop.

> DRAG THE DIVIDE

Allocate more screen space to one particular app by clicking and holding on the divider in the middle of the screen, then dragging it left or right.

HOW TO Set up split–screen

Setting up split–screen on Mac used to involve dragging apps to different sides of the screen, but the process has been made a lot more straightforward in macOS Catalina…

1 Select first app

To use split–screen mode you must first ensure that both of the apps that you would like to view are open and have a presence on your desktop.
