How to exclude an app from auto-tiling

Method

Menu bar

  1. 1

    Focus a window of the app.

  2. 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. 1

    Open Settings → App Exceptions → Exclude from Staging.

  2. 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.
