Stage Manager allows multiple app windows to run simultaneously on iPad Pro, with the ability to resize and overlap windows freely. With Stage Manager, you can position Lucy OS1 in a dedicated smaller window alongside your primary work application. This is more flexible than standard split-view and allows Lucy OS1 to remain visible and accessible throughout your workflow without occupying half the screen.

Can iPad Pro users replace their MacBook with iPad Pro plus Lucy OS1?

For users whose primary work is written, creative, or visual, iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Lucy OS1 for the planning and memory layer can serve as a viable MacBook replacement. For users who rely on Mac-specific applications or terminal-based development work, the MacBook remains necessary. The combination of iPad Pro hardware and Lucy OS1's AI capability significantly extends what iPad-only workflows can accomplish.

What are the best accessories for iPad Pro and Lucy OS1?
