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
