GlazeWM is a tiling window manager for Windows (and macOS) inspired by i3wm, letting users organize and resize windows via keyboard-driven commands. It supports YAML configuration, multi-monitor setups, per-window rules, and integrates with Zebar as a status bar.
Use cases
- tile windows automatically on Windows like i3wm
- manage windows entirely with keyboard shortcuts
- organize windows across multiple monitors
- set custom rules for how specific apps are positioned
- replace the default Windows window manager with a tiling layout
- configure window management with a simple YAML file
When to choose
- you want an i3-like tiling window manager on Windows or macOS
- you prefer keyboard-driven window management over mouse dragging
- you need multi-monitor support with customizable window rules
- you want a simple YAML-based configuration
When to avoid
- you prefer floating window managers or your current workflow
- you need a window manager for Linux (use i3wm or similar instead)
- you rely on Windows features that conflict with third-party window managers
