    A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

    I have tried Yabai, however, my work requires the System Integrity Protection (SIP) to be on, which basically protects the root file system and some other things, among which is Mission Control, the application that controls virtual desktops and window management. This means that while I can use Yabai, the features that I'd use it for are blocked while SIP is enabled > https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Disabling-System-Integrity-Protection.

  • Amethyst

    Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

    I am now using Amethyst (https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst), which works with SIP enabled. I have a default set of virtual desktops created instead of them being created+destroyed dynamically, but it's a compromise I had to make.
