What is Stage Manager?

Stage Manager is a free, open source replacement for Apple's Stage Manager on macOS. It keeps the familiar look, and it groups windows into stages that survive a restart, including their order and which stage was active. Ctrl-Option-1 through 9 switches between stages, and dropping one stage card onto another merges them. The strip can keep a fixed order. An optional setting, off by default, opens new apps in the current stage, and holding Shift opens a fresh stage instead. Settings live in a TOML config file. Written in Rust, MIT licensed. Requires macOS 14+ on Apple silicon.
