that's a great feature. I really love my iPad, but changing the workflow to operate both systems is overwhelming. I can imagine myself using Universal Control everyday.

I've found the iPad to be a great place to isolate shitty, resource-hogging communication software (ahem, Slack) to a dedicated shitty-software-I-must-nonetheless-have-open-all-the-time console. This makes that practice even better, with the unified control and drag & drop and all that.

Agreed. This is going to be my exact use case for Universal Control.

Yeah, the iPad is a great container for terrible software. No worries about Zoom backdooring your computer and leaving stuff all over the place.

I don’t really need unified control for this, though. The iPad just sits nicely on the desk for however long the stupid meetings are, and these apps are not interactive enough for having to lift a hand to be much of a pain.
