tinywm 0.1.0

The first release of tinywm, a scrolling window manager for macOS inspired by niri.

Install

1. Download tinywm.zip below.
2. Open it and drag tinywm into your Applications folder.
3. Open tinywm. A welcome window walks you through the permissions.

The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without a warning. It needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later on a Mac with Apple silicon.

What's in it

• Windows open side by side on a strip that scrolls under the screen. Nothing else changes size.
• Hold right ⌘ and use H J K L or the arrows to move between windows and move them.
• Width presets, full width, stacked columns and floating windows.
• Workspaces that stack vertically, and a separate strip for every display.
• An overview of every window with right ⌘ + Esc.
• Meta + drag to move a window anywhere, and three-finger swipes on the trackpad.
• Rules for floating, ignoring, focus and where apps open, in one plain-text config that reloads on save.
• The layout is restored after a restart.

See the README for every key and option.
