stackline VS RectanglePro-Community

They may be referring to stackline https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline

I've used it in the past, it was very aesthetically pleasing but did not work consistently enough for me to use day to day.

Add in hammerspoon and stackline and you can have icons or little blobs as indicators for your stacks.

Oh yeah, Hammerspoon is a much better alternative to AutoHotkey, how could I forget about it.

It can even create simple and quite useful UIs, here’s an example of someone using it to create a stack visualizer for the yabai window manager: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1683979/90967233-0...

Amazing, thank you! I've searched for something like this before and found out an interesting github issue: [off-topic] How to make vim folding minimal and cute like in the readme gif . Maybe it could give you more ideas for enhancing your plugin.

Yabai actually has stacking! Although there’s no visual cue without Stackline. There’s also documentation of the Yabai commands on that repos wiki. Haven’t used either but hope it helps you :)

There is pro version you can buy if you want to support the dev and get a few extra features.

Rectangle makes much more sense to me on Mac than a tiling window manager like yabai. I tried to use it but it just felt kludgy and I went back to Rectangle. Suits my needs just fine.

Rectangle Pro - Price: $15 (one-time purchase) Same as normal Rectangle, with throwing features, more arrangments, workspace setup for windows in any location you want and more.

There is... it's called Rectangle Pro! https://rectangleapp.com/pro

This started when I was unable to have apps appear on the correct monitor and in the correct shape / space. I played with a few window management apps and settled on Rectangle Pro.

Just curious, did you try Rectangle Pro? There are a number of features in it that are influenced by Windows, like mimicking the win+arrow keys, a snap panel that you can drag windows onto, and snap targets that act like fancy zones from Power Toys.

Swish is pretty nice, but Rectangle Pro is the best. The window throw feature in Rectangle Pro is faster and more flexible, and to me it feels more intuitive.

This is what Pro gets you.

FWIW, the functionality here overlaps a bit with some of the functionality that I have in Rectangle Pro.

RectanglePro a fully featured upgrade of the free app. Lots of different ways to configure window management but custom App Layouts is pretty impressive. You setup your app windows as required then you can save the config and reconfigure it with a shortcut. You can also create custom areas similar to BTT which can be activated from a Snap Panel which appear when you drag a window.

Rectangle Pro is their paid app, with is tuned for pros or something like that.
