PaperWM.spoon is a tiled, scrollable window manager for macOS implemented as a Hammerspoon Spoon plugin in Lua. It arranges windows in a horizontally scrollable tiled grid with keyboard-driven focus, swap, resize, and layout commands inspired by the GNOME PaperWM extension.

Use cases

• tile macOS windows automatically in a scrollable layout
• manage windows entirely from the keyboard
• switch focus between neighboring windows with hotkeys
• swap and rearrange windows in a tiled grid
• resize or center windows with keyboard shortcuts
• float specific windows outside the tiling layer
• split the screen between two windows

When to choose

• you want a PaperWM-style tiling window manager on macOS
• you already use Hammerspoon and want window tiling
• you prefer keyboard-driven window management with customizable hotkeys
• you want a scrollable column layout rather than static tiling

When to avoid

• you are not willing to install and configure Hammerspoon
• you need a window manager for Linux or Windows
• you prefer mouse-driven or native macOS window management
• you want a standalone app rather than a Lua plugin
