Per Screen vs Global: Which Veil Mode Should You Use?

Mode Summary

• Per Screen: each display tracks focus independently.
• Global: one focus target controls all displays.

Use Per Screen If You

• work with different apps on different monitors,
• want local focus behavior on each display,
• switch tasks frequently across screens.

Use Global If You

• present one primary app at a time,
• want consistent cross-display privacy behavior,
• prefer simpler “one source of focus” logic.

Important Note About Cover App

If a Cover App is selected, Per Screen can still feel globally locked. In v1.0.5, Veil shows a warning and provides a one-click “Clear Cover App” action.

How to Switch Modes

1. Open Veil Settings.
2. Go to Rules.
3. Change Multi-screen Mode to Per Screen or Global.
4. Test with your real app layout before calls.
