]

Features

• Column-based tiling - Niri-inspired layout engine that automatically arranges windows in columns
• Multiple workspaces - Create and manage virtual workspaces with per-monitor assignment
• 40+ keyboard shortcuts - Navigate, move, and resize windows efficiently (all customizable)
• App rules - Configure per-application behavior (floating, workspace assignment, minimum size)
• Window borders - Visual indicator for the focused window
• Fuzzy finder - Press Option + Space to search through all windows and navigate directly to them
• Window tabs - Group multiple windows into tabbed containers for better organization
• Workspace bar - Menu bar widget with sorted app icons; click any icon to navigate to that window
• Focus follows mouse - Optionally focus windows when hovering over them

Known Limitations

There are huge amount of features and customizations and I'm really bad at doing guides but the GUI settings/customization should be fairly intuitive, some features have never before been available for macOS tiling WMs. If anyone is good at making video guides DM me on discord or through GitHub discussions I'd appreciate it.

App Rules

Configure per-application behavior in Settings > App Rules:

• Always Float - Force specific apps to always float (e.g., calculators, preferences windows)
• Assign to Workspace - Automatically move app windows to a specific workspace
• Minimum Size - Prevent the layout engine from sizing windows below a threshold
