Aerospace Is an I3 Like Tiling Window Manager for Macos



Hacker News 1:15 pm on June 10, 2024


AeroSpace is an i3-inspired macOS tiling window manager, utilizing accessibility APIs for window management. Homebrew installations bypass Apple's notarization check to allow easy distribution without software warnings. Key points include:

  • Development guidelines found in `dev-docs/development.md`
  • Avoiding breaking changes with semver version management for major releases
  • Private API usage restricted to essential functionalities, e.g., window IDs from `_AXUIElementGetWindow`.
  • Compatibility and practicality prioritized; avoiding dependency on macOS Spaces.
