Iume v2.7.0 β€” The "Stop Fighting Your Desktop" Release πŸ“œβœ¨

macOS window management is an unsolved crime. Stage Manager was an avant-garde art experiment nobody asked for, and Mission Control is an illegible postage-stamp mosaic. Iume brings continuous horizontal strip tiling from PaperWM & niri to macOS with native AppKit speed and zero snapback trauma.

⚑ What's New in v2.7.0

πŸ›‘ Zero Snap-Back Scrolling (Sanity Restored)

  • It actually stops when you let go: You know that cursed bug where you scroll to inspect a window, let go of the trackpad, and the camera violently snaps you back to where you started like an angry rubber band? Dead and buried. In Iume, when you stop scrolling, it stays right there.
  • In-Place Focus Preservation: Clicking or switching focus to any visible window leaves your viewport untouched. No random camera seizures just because you clicked a button.
  • Microsecond State Sync: Viewport offsets now sync continuously with workspace state so layouts never jump unexpectedly.

πŸ—‚οΈ Chrome-Style Native Tab Groups

  • Merge 12 terminal windows or 8 Finder instances into a single tabbed column with βŒƒβŒ₯ + T.
  • Sleek 28pt floating tab bar with live application icons, window titles, and reorderable tabs.
  • Drag a tab downward to detach it into its own column, or click + to spawn a new window.

πŸ“ Universal Edge & Terminal Alignment

  • Pixel-perfect frame positioning across all standard macOS apps as well as grid-constrained terminal emulators (Apple Terminal, Ghostty, Alacritty, Kitty, and iTerm2).
  • We wrestled AppKit's geometry engine so your window borders align flush without that annoying 3-pixel gap that makes developers' eyes twitch.

πŸ¦€ Rust Strip Engine (crates/iume_engine)

  • Static linking of a zero-dependency Rust engine for deterministic geometry math and magnetic seam adherence.
  • Closed-form damped harmonic spring physics operating with microsecond responsiveness on 120Hz ProMotion displays.
