Tile, float or ignore: better defaults for every app
Not every window belongs in the strip. App rules let each kind of app behave the way its job demands.

Key takeaways
- Editors, browsers, documents and mail benefit from a stable place in the strip.
- Calls, inspectors and small utilities can float above the strip when they need immediate attention without becoming permanent columns.
- Some apps manage their own windows well or appear only for a moment.
A browser should usually join the strip. A calculator probably should not. A video call often works best floating above your notes.
Tile the work
Editors, browsers, documents and mail benefit from a stable place in the strip. A default width gives each new window a sensible starting shape.
Float the temporary
Calls, inspectors and small utilities can float above the strip when they need immediate attention without becoming permanent columns.
Ignore what already works
Some apps manage their own windows well or appear only for a moment. Ignoring them keeps automation from becoming interference.
