How to create an App Routing rule

Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Settings → App Routing (Pro) and click Add Routing Rule.

  2. 2

    Match by Application, Window title, or both. Example: Slack → destination stage Comms.

  3. 3

    Set Destination Display to Any staged display or a Pinned Display. Drag rules to reorder — first match wins. Pause a rule with Enable.

  4. 4

    Follow when routed by a rule lives in Settings → Stages, not in the rule editor.
