spectrwm

spectrwm is a free tiling and reparenting window manager for X11. It arranges windows in configurable layouts, including layouts with a resizable master area, and also supports floating windows that users can move and resize. Windows can be moved between workspaces or within user-defined regions, while screens are navigable by keyboard or mouse. It supports dynamic RandR multi-head configurations and Extended Window Manager Hints. A customizable status bar, quick launch menu and user-defined key bindings provide ways to view status and launch applications. The software starts with defaults and can be configured without learning a programming language. It can be restarted without losing state. spectrwm is released under the ISC license, and the releases page lists version 3.7.0 as the latest release. Listed platforms are Linux, macOS and Windows, while its stated purpose is managing X11 windows. The project directs questions and feedback to its #spectrwm channel on OFTC IRC.
