macOS should identify this download as notarized software from an identified developer. If it reports a damaged app or an unidentified developer, stop and report the exact message through the invitation channel instead of bypassing Gatekeeper.

What’s new in beta 5

• An optional focus setting hides other visible apps after a successful split.
• Undo restores only the apps eaSplit hid; those apps continue running in the background.
• Frequent application combinations can be suggested after two successful splits.
• Successfully arranged windows come forward by default, with slot 1 focused.

Your first split

1. Open two normal, resizable app windows.
2. Select the eaSplit icon in the menu bar.
3. Choose the two windows, the Columns layout, and the 50/50 ratio.
4. Enable Fill screen edge to edge in Settings if you prefer no outer or center gaps.
5. Select Split. Save the combination if you want to reuse it.
