The Future Is Niri

1. niri

   1 21 9,589 9.9 Rust

   A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

   

   The _only_ thing I feel Niri still needs is this: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/discussions/352#discussioncom...

   Otherwise it is the perfect endgame UX for me. Regardless of screen size or form factor. I never thought I'd find something that I liked better than i3/sway, but those subtle niri animations, at double speed? On a high refresh rate monitor, w/ amdgpu? Ahh. Chef's kiss <3

3. PaperWM

   2 43 3,564 8.4 JavaScript

   Tiled scrollable window management for GNOME Shell

   

   I've never tried Niri, but I'm interested.

   Recently I had a good introduction to the scrollable WM experience on GNOME with the PaperWM extension: https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM

4. karousel

   3 5 515 9.5 TypeScript

   Scrollable tiling Kwin script

   

   KDE users might be interested in Karousel. A Kwin script that also does scrollable tiling windows in KDE. https://github.com/peterfajdiga/karousel

5. PaperWM.spoon

   4 9 723 7.6 Lua

   Tiled scrollable window manager for MacOS

   

6. Rectangle

   5 740 27,271 7.9 Swift

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

   

   This is how I use my Mac desktop with Rectangle https://rectangleapp.com

   That and the apple touchpad to swipe three fingers left and right to switch desktops (and different machines as one desktop is remote desked into a windows box and another terminal+tmux session to a linux box).

7. KWin-TilingGuide

   6 2 73 1.8

   A guide on how to set up kwin as a tiling window manager.

10. xview

    8 1 1 - C

    Copy of the xview repo from Debian + patches

    

11. bspwm

    9 95 8,021 0.0 C

    A tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning

    

12. alttab

    10 14 412 4.7 C

    The task switcher for minimalistic window managers or standalone X11 session

    

    Would alttab meet your needs? I've been using it with xmonad and it works well. https://github.com/sagb/alttab

13. wmii

    11 1 125 - C

    A small, scriptable window manager, with a 9P filesystem interface and an acme-like layout.

    

    wmii[0], it implements the acme window layout. But the interesting part is that it exposes its state as a file-system. The main loop is a shell script[1]. So BYO posible, fe here is a Ruby one [2]

14. wmiirc

    12 1 84 - Ruby

    Ruby configuration for WMII window manager

    

15. cagebreak

    13 8 329 2.5 C

    Cagebreak: A Wayland Tiling Compositor Inspired by Ratpoison

    

    I still use ratpoison, dreading the day it stops working for whatever reason (wayland being a likely one). Haven't tried it, but Cagebreak (https://github.com/project-repo/cagebreak) seems like a possible successor.

16. tilingshell

    14 9 1,224 5.9 TypeScript

    Extend Gnome Shell with advanced tiling window management. Supports multiple monitors, Windows 11 Snap Assistant, Fancy Zones, customised tiling layouts and more.

    

    I've been using Tiling Shell extension with gnome. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7065/tiling-shell/

    I really love it so far.

17. Tiling-Assistant

    15 24 1,209 6.8 JavaScript

    An extension which adds a Windows-like snap assist to GNOME. It also expands GNOME's 2 column tiling layout.

    

    Tiling Assistant might be worth a try. It can be configured to be pretty out of the way and just add more snapping sizes, different per-monitor if you need.

    https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant

18. wsjq

    16 4 17 4.0 jq

    Whitespace interpreter and debugger in jq

    

    I couldn't find a run or raise repo that'd have a ws.jq and I'm not convinced it's https://github.com/thaliaarchi/wsjq (whitespace programing language implemented in jq...)
