Window management is not about looking tidy, it is about moving the mouse less. These ten are ordered as arrange, switch, single window, visual feedback. Start with drag-to-snap, or go all the way to a keyboard-only tiling setup.
A tiling window manager for macOS in the spirit of i3. Windows are organised in a tree, moved between positions and workspaces with shortcuts, switches happen instantly without animation, and configuration lives in a plain text file. It suits developers coming from i3 or sway who want the same model on macOS.
A tiling window manager for macOS that arranges windows with a binary space partitioning algorithm, filling the screen without gaps. It supports multiple spaces, window stacking, and adjustable gaps and padding, and pairs with skhd for keyboard control. It suits developers who keep several terminals and editors open at once.
Brings Windows-style Alt-Tab to macOS. A shortcut opens a switcher with thumbnails of every window, allowing repeated switching while the modifier is held and grouping by app or window, close to how Windows behaves. It suits people arriving from Windows who find Command-Tab switching apps only too coarse.
A macOS window manager built around elegance. Hold a modifier and a radial menu appears around the cursor, then drag the window in a direction to snap it into that layout, which is intuitive and needs no shortcut memorisation. It suits people who organise windows with the mouse but find manual dragging tedious.
A minimal macOS app that highlights the active window. The focused window gets a clear marker so you can tell at a glance where input will go when windows overlap. It lives in the menu bar with a native implementation, which suits people who keep many windows open and often click the wrong one.
An app that docks any window to the screen edges. Dragging a window to an edge snaps it to halves, quarters and other layouts, and position and size can be pinned, cutting manual resizing. It suits people who arrange windows into the same layouts repeatedly.
Pins any window above the others on macOS. Pick a window and it stays floating while you work in another, useful for following a document, watching a video or keeping a dashboard in view without switching back and forth.

A lightweight window border system for macOS. It draws a coloured border around the focused window so you can tell at a glance where input will go, whether windows are tiled or stacked, with configurable colour, width and corner radius. It is often paired with tiling window managers such as yabai.
