  • Amethyst

    Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

  • Amethyst. It's a bit buggy, but the automatic tiling + layouts are great

  • yabai

    A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

  • [Yabai[(https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai). This paired with skhd can replicate many of Amethyst's behaviors, but it's a bit more flexible in window arrangement (i.e. you can drop a window in a specific part of your screen and it'll adjust the tiling to reflect that, whereas with Amethyst it'll just enforce the selected layout)

  • 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.

  • skhd

    Simple hotkey daemon for macOS

  • [Yabai[(https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai). This paired with skhd can replicate many of Amethyst's behaviors, but it's a bit more flexible in window arrangement (i.e. you can drop a window in a specific part of your screen and it'll adjust the tiling to reflect that, whereas with Amethyst it'll just enforce the selected layout)

  • Rectangle

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

  • Rectangle. More like Windows' native window snapping (or Magnet on macOS), but FOSS and doesn't automatically tile. Personally I found the automatic tiling WMs lagged pretty hard when I was screensharing in meetings, so I've switched to this.
