iPad Workflows and Power Use
Transform your iPad from a casual consumption slate into a focused, modular workstation. Learn to master Stage Manager multitasking, build reliable file-management pipelines, automate repetitive tasks with Shortcuts, and integrate hardware accessories seamlessly.
Like Duolingo, but for iPad Workflows and Power Use. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
20 levels across 4 sections, about 40 minutes end to end, roughly 8 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Multitasking and Window Control; Files, Storage, and Precise Input; Automation and Ecosystem Synergy; and Workstation Architecture and Tuning. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in iPad Workflows and Power Use
- Slide Over floats an app in a narrow floating card you can flick off-screen and retrieve quickly.
- Split View divides the iPad screen into fixed, tiled panes meant for sustained side-by-side work.
- Slide Over preserves your main screen layout underneath while transient tools pop in and out.
- Stage Manager replaces rigid split dividers with overlapping, resizable app windows on iPad.
- iPadOS preserves the exact layout and sizes of windows inside each distinct Stage Manager set.
- Switching sets in Stage Manager hides the current cluster and brings forward the chosen workspace intact.
- The Stage Manager recent apps strip shows grouped window clusters representing distinct project workspaces.
- Tapping a thumbnail in the recent strip swaps the active workspace cluster for another in one tap.
- The center divider in classic iPad multitasking resizes fixed splits rather than switching workspace clusters.
- App Exposé displays all active windows and paired instances belonging to that single iPad app.
- App Exposé groups include standalone windows, Split View pairs, and Stage Manager clusters containing the app.
- App Exposé is scoped strictly to the selected application rather than showing system-wide audio or history.
- The Globe key serves as the dedicated iPadOS hardware modifier for system navigation
- Globe with arrow keys snaps active windows into Split View positions without touch
- Pressing Globe + H or Globe + Up navigates home or enters the App Switcher instantly
- Holding a lifted item keeps an active drag session alive on iPadOS
