Loved the various perspectives throughout this episode.
@MacSparky, you spoke to your journaling experiment with the PCC shortcuts which I found very interesting. I’m actually curious to know which app you are doing the initial dictation of your journal entry into.
I have been using Day One on and off for many years and I want to re-establish my journaling habit. I have a long drive to and from work and am keen to see what dictation options might work for me.
Cheers,
Simon.
Is it just me who isn’t blown away by window management on the iPad? If you want window management, get a MacBook. That isn’t how an iPad works, so we should stop trying to force it into being something it isn’t. I see the iPad as a brilliant single-task device that keeps your focus right there. We should celebrate this and stop cluttering up our little screens in the fight for busyness.
I’m trying out the beta and liking the window management quite a lot. I frequently use my iPad Air in class, and I often need more than one app open to be able to access course materials quickly.
That may not be a typical use case.
It is now.

I’m reserving judgement on iPadOS 26. I am far more concerned with the consmetic makeover than the new windowing features. My Mac is a backup server that I plan to leave on macOS 15 as long as possible.
My iPad is my computer. Split screen and slide over has allowed me to work up to now, and from the videos I’ve seen switching to three screens when needed should be an easy transition.
Now about their plan to pour ugly all over my devices . . .
I am super excited for it!
But if you want a single-task device, I still don’t see the problem. Just don’t enable the windowing mode? You can use the iPad old school all you want, while the folks who want windowing can have that.
I’m really impressed — it seems like Apple is truly trying to give both camps what they want.
