Glide

[![GHA Status]][GitHub Actions]

Glide is a tiling window manager for macOS. It takes inspiration from window managers like i3, Sway, and Hyprland.

Integrates with Spaces: Adopt incrementally, using Mission Control and moving between spaces as you normally would.

Keyboard focused; trackpad enhanced: Bring the responsiveness of tiling window managers to macOS. Resize interactively. Speed up trackpad use with mouse-follows-focus and focus-follows-mouse.

Adapts to your environment: Customize your layout as you move between external monitor and on the go.

Reliable architecture: Made with years of experience building window managers for macOS.

Supports animations, too!

Save and restore

When you exit Glide with the save_and_exit key binding (default ⌥⇧E) or the Quit menu item, it saves your layout and which spaces are enabled. The next time Glide starts in the same login session, it restores them. To start with a fresh layout instead, run:

To start fresh by default, set auto_restore = false under [settings] in your config. glide launch --restore then restores for that launch.

Saved state is not restored after logging out or restarting your machine.
