What are you trying to do?

Select app I don't want to use the tailscale service in the app split tunneling section

How should we solve this?

Please add a select all or do the opposite and allow me to select the apps that I want tailscale to use.

What is the impact of not solving this?

I have to select all 450 apps by hand

Anything else?

I'm guessing this is about Android?

I went to tailscale android's repository to post this request too, but i saw that there is no "issues" section there so i came check here.
I have been using tailscale for a few months now and i love it, but i am also facing this problem of having to split tunnel only a few apps (basically just Brave browser) so that i can access some self hosted services i have running at home when im away, but this means that i have to check every other app to "exclude" from the vpn.
I was used to Wireguard's app which has both options (include, exclude) and it is more intuitive to use. I think adding something like this would be very useful.

Also looking for this
I want to have the inverse behavior of split tunneling right now

  • use tailscale only with a few specific apps
  • have new apps be excluded by default (for performance, battery life, problems with special services and convenience reasons)

At the moment I have many many boxes to be checked manually

Running tailscale on android
Really appreciate this magic service
