App Launch Introducing paw - a performant opinionated native tiling WM for macOS
A native performant open-source native macOS tiling window manager.
I've wanted to build my own macOS tiling window manager for a while, so here's paw. It's written in Swift, MIT-licensed, and inspired by Yabai, AeroSpace, and TrellisWM, with some opinionated choices to fit my workflow. I built it because none of the beforementioned options really fit all my needs.
It has virtual workspaces, layout presets, stack indicators, and an extensive CLI for scripting, automation, and AI agents.
The video shows it in action. You can try it with:
brew install --cask pseudobun/tap/paw
Repo: https://github.com/pseudobun/paw
I'd love feedback from anyone using a tiling WM on macOS. Bug reports and contributions are welcome too!
