How to exclude an app from auto-tiling
Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.
Method
Menu bar
- 1
Focus a window of the app.
- 2
Click the BetterStage menu bar and choose Exclude App from Auto-Tiling. The item becomes Include App in Auto-Tiling when that app is already excluded.
Method
Settings
- 1
Open Settings → App Exceptions → Exclude from Staging.
- 2
Click Add App… and pick the app.
Both doors write the same Exclude from Staging list — the same list as the exclude-from-staging how-to. This is not Float in Window Modes. The app stays visible on every stage. Exclude is not on the default Snap Wheel; adding that slot requires Pro.
Try it yourself
BetterStage is free for up to three stages. TabStack, Saved Workspaces, AI Staging, layout presets, and pinned displays are Pro. Eligible Macs can start a 7-day Pro trial; previous trials do not reset. Managed AI credits are separate.
