## What it is
OmniWM is a tiling window manager for macOS inspired by Niri and Hyprland, offering scrolling columns, BSP/dwindle layouts, a Ghostty-powered quake terminal, and a unified command palette. It is developer-signed and notarized, making it safe for managed enterprise environments, and includes IPC/CLI automation.

## Use cases
- tile windows on macOS like Hyprland or Niri
- manage macOS windows with keyboard-driven tiling
- use a scrolling column layout on a Mac
- get a tiling window manager that is notarized for corporate Macs
- automate window management via CLI and IPC
- open a quake-style drop-down terminal on macOS

## When to choose
- you want Hyprland/Niri-style tiling on macOS
- your Mac is enterprise-managed and requires signed, notarized software
- you want built-in quake terminal and command palette alongside tiling
- you need CLI/IPC automation of window management

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux or Windows
- you prefer macOS's native window management or a floating workflow
- you need a long-established manager with a large plugin ecosystem
