Spec score 7.4 #34 of 65 in Window Management Software

What it is

komorebi is a tiling window manager for Windows and macOS for arranging application windows and controlling virtual workspaces and display monitors. Users set configurable layouts for windows within workspaces and control the software through a command-line interface that can work with any hotkey software. It responds to operating-system events and messages on a dedicated socket rather than handling keyboard or mouse inputs directly. Installation options include Scoop and WinGet on Windows, Homebrew and Nix on macOS, or building from source on either platform. Personal use is permitted, but redistribution and distribution of derivative works are restricted. Using komorebi at work requires an Individual Commercial Use License, valid for the licensed individual while the paid subscription is active. A single-platform license costs $10 a month for Windows or macOS; a Windows-and-macOS license costs $15 a month. Early access nightly releases for Mac are available to GitHub Sponsors on the $10/month tier. The project lists Discord for discussion, help and troubleshooting.
