i3 Linux -> macOS

• yabai

  218 21,317 9.1 C

  A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

I'm using yabai, but due to MacOS's IMHO stupid limitations regarding Windows, to be "fully" working, it requires SIP (System Integrity Protection) to be disabled (fully or partially), which is a HUGE no-no for the Mac that I'm using.

• Rectangle

  723 24,403 8.2 Swift

  Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas

I have used i3 for a few years now, but now I have to start using macOS for work. I am not really looking for an i3 replacement, but the desktop management on macOS just feels super weird to me - for eg. if I maximize a window, it takes up the entire desktop and I cannot drag another window on top of it unless I minimize it. Using Rectangle is useful as it makes it easier to arrange different windows on the same desktop. Are there any other tips and tricks to make my life easier?

• Amethyst

  148 14,170 6.5 Swift

  Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

I also used Amethyst, but I think yabai is much better

• skhd

  64 5,536 3.0 C

  Simple hotkey daemon for macOS

What I've done is configure yabai and skhd in a way that somewhat mimics my i3 setup (dotfiles in case it helps) with the help of Karabiner-Elements since Apple wouldn't recognize my keyboard layout properly (or at all...).
