Phoenix is a lightweight macOS window and app manager that is scriptable with JavaScript (or TypeScript). It lets users bind keyboard shortcuts and system events to control screens, spaces, mouse, apps, and windows with a small footprint.

Use cases

• script custom window management on macOS with JavaScript
• bind keyboard shortcuts to move and resize windows
• automate macOS app and space management
• center or tile the focused window with a hotkey
• run external commands from system event triggers
• build a personal lightweight window manager instead of using a heavy app

When to choose

• you want a minimal, efficient macOS window manager you can script yourself in JavaScript or TypeScript
• you prefer writing your own configuration over a prebuilt tiling manager
• you need to bind shortcuts and system events to control windows, apps, screens, and spaces

When to avoid

• you want an out-of-the-box tiling window manager with no scripting
• you are not on macOS 10.14 or higher
• you prefer GUI-based window management configuration over code
