And thanks a ton for refering us to your colleagues.Īnd incase you switch to dual monitor in future, please email us at and we will give you some really good discount for Split Screen Ultimate. It's really good to know people who are using Split Screen for many years now. I introduced it to my colleagues a few years ago and we’ve all been using it since.Īddendum: I do mostly back-end work, so usually only need one monitor. I’ve been using the splitscreen app almost since it was released, and have yet to find a better solution to using and manipulating two screens/apps at the same time. Select Tile Window to Left of Screen or Tile Window to Right of. In one of the windows you want to use, place your cursor over the green button in the top left.
This app lets me do all that quickly and efficiently. Make sure neither window you want to use is in full-screen mode. Sometimes I clean data w/ textwrangler and upload data using filezilla or the terminal window at the same time. Sometimes I use sublimetext and reference github at the same time. Sometimes I use onenote and a browser at the same time.
Sometimes I watch youtube/netflix/hulu and use a browser at the same time. It is tremendous convenient to use a desktop Pc both be it Home windows or Mac because you can do a number of responsibilities at the moment. Right click on the taskbar and choose ‘Show windows side-by-side’. Thumbnails of the other windows will appear, click one to see that on the other side of the screen. A discreet box will appear on that side, release the mouse and the window will snap to that side. Step 3: Navigate to Dock and enable ‘Displays have separate Spaces’ option. Drag a window (from the title bar) to the left or right of the screen. Step 2: Open the System Preferences menu. My favorite parts about the app are the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to moving the windows and it runs with a subtle and clean icon in the top bar making it almost feel built in with OS. Step 1: Tap on the Apple icon at the upper left corner.
The built in OS window splitting implies that if you want to move a window to a side, you have to pair it in half with another window (meaning you have to know which window you want to split half the desktop with) or you have to have it full screen. One of the key distinctions here is that you can make it resize in your current desktop with key shortcuts. Now I'm on Mojave but I've kept using this app over the built-in macOS window resizing functionality because it more closely mirrors the windows resizing in Windows and Linux (common distros like Ubuntu).
I've been using this app since Yosemite when macOS did not have window splitting in the operating system (this came along in El Capitan). If I'm ever setting up a new version of macOS, this is one of the first things I install.
