How to use a different Window Mode per monitor
Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.
Steps
- 1
On the laptop, switch that display to macOS Native from the menu bar (pointer on the laptop) or the Snap Wheel.
- 2
On the ultrawide, switch that display to TabStack and pick a layout if the chooser appears.
- 3
Switch stages — each stage remembers its own mode per monitor. Opt+B cycles the focused window’s monitor.
Try it yourself
