AeroSpace

If you like this idea, also check out aerospace, a full on window manager for macOS. https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace I've been using it for a couple of years now, and it's great. You can navigate between windows with the keyboard, etc etc.

AeroSpace is really nice for i3 like tiling on macOS https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

Big fan here. I've tried lots of them and am currently fairly happily settled on https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

Thrilled to see it's FOSS. https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

Aerospace is excellent: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace Can’t imagine going back.

I see yabai mentioned, definitely check out Aerospace. Ive tried multiple WMs after years of i3 on Linux and this is the best one I found (for me) with quite a margin. It just works (tm) https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

I've been using AeroSpace for a bit (window Manager by nikitabobko), and I like its engine but I usually prefer to have a visual feedback, and also i'm not a vim person and hard to get used to its shortcuts. So I forked it and put a Teenage Engineering inspired floating gamepad HUD on top. It has a live display of the current state, Cmd+Esc to summon it, WASD keys to navigate, Q/E to resize, etc... so it feels more like a game. Still WIP, but couldn't resist sharing. Cheers!

I highly recommend Aerospace[1], went through a few approaches, I cared about not completely compromising security either, it works really well if you come from something like i3 1. https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

I know this is overkill for almost everyone but for those interested in a tiling window manager, take a look at AeroSpace [0]. No more dragging around windows or manually resizing them - just hotkeys. Took me a while to get used to it but can't live without it now. 0: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

Agreed. On MacOS, I use a variety of smaller apps and scripts to make it less awkward, e.g. Karabiner, BetterTouchTool, Hammerspoon, and, of course, "Alt-Tab" (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/). I am even contemplating starting to use a dedicated window manager, such as Aerospace (https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace/). But all of this is a massive time investment.

I use Aerospace and it's an okay but not great tiling window manager. Note that AeroSpace really is among the best on macOS, but I'm guessing the OS APIs simply don't expose enough hooks. https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

I have never vibed with macOS's seemingly default mode of floating windows layered over one another like scattered paper on a desk (mimicking a desktop I suppose). Instead ive been using https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace for the past couple of years and just flicking around via hotkeys. Not perfect but much less friction for my use cases
