  • Amethyst

    Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

  • yabai

    A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

    • Surprised that yabai hasn't been mentioned here, it's really the only sane window management solution for someone who is looking for a tiling window manager: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • komorebi

    A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉

    • I switched the other way, from macOS to Windows (for various reasons, but mostly to compile big projects faster with a Ryzen; I still use my MBP as a browser machine/Chromebook though), and yabai is what I modeled my own tiling window manager on: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/
