Amethyst
An automatic tiling window manager for macOS inspired by xmonad, enabling efficient keyboard-driven window management.
What is Amethyst?
Amethyst is an automatic tiling window manager for macOS that organizes application windows into efficient, non-overlapping layouts without manual intervention. It solves the problem of cluttered desktops and inefficient screen space usage by automatically tiling windows, inspired by the xmonad window manager from the Linux world. The tool is designed for keyboard-driven control, allowing users to manage focus, movement, and layout changes entirely with shortcuts.
macOS power users, developers, and productivity enthusiasts who want a more efficient, keyboard-centric window management experience similar to tiling window managers found on Linux systems.
Developers choose Amethyst because it brings the robust, automatic tiling and keyboard-driven workflow of Linux window managers to macOS, a platform traditionally lacking such tools. Its extensive customization, variety of layouts, and deep integration with macOS Spaces and multiple displays offer a unique productivity boost unavailable in native macOS window management.
