Stage View for macOS Ventura Stage Manager • MacPlus Software

Why?

Stage Manager is an innovative new Apple Mac window management feature that was incorporated in macOS Ventura, launched by Apple in 2022.

Stage Manager provides functions never before available in a Mac Operating System. Stage Manager takes some time to master, but the investment is worth the effort. Having explored the exciting options in Apple’s Stage Manager app, we determined that it is difficult to tell what is in a window group: the tiny window preview pane on the left quickly becomes cluttered.

In order to solve this design glitch, we created Stage View, our utility app which streamlines and makes more efficient the macOS Stage Manager app.

Stage View is our third-party app, created to enhance the operability and efficiency of Apple’s macOS Ventura Stage Manager app.

Stage View allows you to quickly view all windows within the Apple Stage Manager app, then rapidly and easily select the one you need, activate, minimize and close.

Get a bird’s eye view of all your Stage Manager windows with ease

All grouped Stage Manager windows have previews. When one or more windows are grouped, you may hover your mouse over the unified preview to see individual views of each window that is part of the group. These will contain if offered, the app’s symbol and name.

Get a new perspective on window management with our preview-driven approach

You can minimize, close, and make windows full-screen from the previews.

After a preview has been shown, clicking any window will bring it to the front of the screen, and clicking any window again will switch to the group.

Tailor your preview preferences to suit your needs

The previews’ dimensions can be changed, and a brief delay can be included to prevent them from appearing immediately.

For single windows, you can also stop them from appearing.

Additionally, three themes-classic, dark, and light-are available.

The upcoming features listed below are in development and will be accessible soon

Easily adjust the size and placement of windows on the screen from the preview window:

Directly from the Previews, you can also resize and move windows around on the screen. For instance, you may move two windows so that one is on the left half of the screen and the other is on the right half with only two clicks. (This functionality is still being worked on, although DockView and ActiveDock already have it implemented.)

Full Preview:

A full-sized miniature of the window will be shown on the screen when you move the cursor over the miniatures in the pre-examination window. This allows you to see the contents of the window without having to activate or switch to it.
