I find Stage Manager useful but setting up the same ’group’ of Safari, Messages, Mail, and Slack manually and frequently feels a little painful. Tried experimenting with Shortcuts and the result isn’t bad, just not perfect. There’s a Stage Manager action but it’s only to turn it on (sheesh), and I can call the Split Screen action next but it only allows two apps at a time. I can add another call to open two more apps but they appear in another group. Anyway, anyone else build a shortcut for Stage Manager workarounds and care to share? Thanks!

The best I can come with is to Turn On Stage Manager and then open each app you want. This at least gets the apps into the recents sidebar so you can quickly fling them into your workspace. This obviously won’t help with having them laid out nicely in the screen and still requires manually moving them. 😔
