AeroSpace is an i3-inspired tiling window manager for macOS built in Swift. It emulates virtual workspaces independently of native macOS Spaces, uses a tree-based tiling paradigm, and is configured via plain-text TOML files with a CLI-first design.
Use cases
- tile windows automatically on macOS like i3
- switch workspaces instantly without disabling SIP
- manage windows entirely from the keyboard
- use i3-style keybindings and workspaces on a Mac
- configure window management with dotfiles-friendly plain text config
- handle tiling across multiple monitors
- replace macOS Spaces with more reliable virtual workspaces
When to choose
- you want an i3-like tiling workflow on macOS
- you need fast workspace switching without disabling SIP
- you prefer plain-text, dotfiles-friendly configuration
- you want proper multi-monitor tiling support
- you like CLI-first tools with shell completions and manpages
When to avoid
- you need a notarized macOS app
- you rely on native macOS Spaces or Mission Control
- you want a GUI-based window manager with mouse-driven configuration
- you need floating-heavy window management rather than tiling
