Paneru is a sliding, tiling window manager for macOS written in Rust, inspired by Niri's scrollable strip layout. It arranges windows on an infinite horizontal strip per monitor without resizing existing windows, and integrates with native macOS workspaces.

Use cases

  • manage macOS windows in a scrollable tiling layout
  • prevent windows from resizing when new ones open
  • use touchpad gestures to slide between windows
  • organize windows into virtual workspaces per task
  • restore window layouts after restarting
  • enable focus-follows-mouse on macOS

When to choose

  • you want Niri-style scrollable tiling on macOS
  • you dislike windows resizing when new ones appear
  • you have a large display where traditional tiling wastes space
  • you want per-monitor independent window strips

When to avoid

  • you need a window manager for Linux or Windows
  • you prefer traditional master-stack or floating window layouts
  • you need fully stable, mature software for critical workflows
