AeroSpace is a keyboard-first tiling window manager for macOS that brings i3-/Sway-style workflows to Apple’s windowing environment. Instead of manual dragging and stacking, windows are tiled automatically, and you navigate, move, or resize them using predictable, customizable keybindings. It supports multiple workspaces, per-display organization, and floating exceptions, so you can mix strict tiling with apps that are better left unmanaged. Configurability is a core goal: you can define rules for how specific apps should launch (tile vs. float, workspace placement), adjust gaps and padding, and fine-tune focus behavior. The project aims to feel native on macOS—respecting system features and accessibility—while giving power users the velocity they expect from a tiling manager. For developers and creators juggling many windows and monitors, AeroSpace reduces window fiddling to near zero, turning your desktop into a consistent, scriptable layout you can rely on all day.

Features

  • Tiling layout based on a tree paradigm similar to i3wm
  • Fast workspace switching (without animations)
  • Plain-text, dotfile-friendly configuration (e.g. using TOML)
  • Proper multi-monitor support with correct workspace handling across displays
  • CLI-first design, including shell completion, man pages, etc.
  • Doesn’t require disabling SIP (System Integrity Protection) to run correctly
