termtile is a set of AppleScript-based shell commands for tiling, resizing, centering, maximizing, and moving terminal windows on macOS. It lets users manage terminal window layout entirely from the keyboard via simple aliases.

Use cases

  • tile terminal windows into screen halves and quarters
  • maximize or center the terminal window from the command line
  • move a terminal window to another display with a command
  • toggle terminal fullscreen without the mouse
  • resize the terminal to a comfortable size for vim

When to choose

  • you use macOS's Terminal and want keyboard-driven window tiling
  • you want lightweight shell aliases instead of a full window manager
  • you work across multiple displays and move terminal windows often

When to avoid

  • you are on Linux or Windows - it only works on OS X
  • you need a maintained tool - the last release was in 2015
  • you use a terminal other than macOS Terminal.app or need advanced tiling features
