yabai is a tiling window manager for macOS that extends the native windowing system with fully scriptable command-line control. It uses a binary space partitioning algorithm to auto-tile windows, supports extensive keyboard shortcut mapping (via skhd), and enhances productivity for power users.

...It supports multiple workspaces, per-display organization, and floating exceptions, so you can mix strict tiling with apps that are better left unmanaged. Configurability is a core goal: you can define rules for how specific apps should launch (tile vs. float, workspace placement), adjust gaps and padding, and fine-tune focus behavior. The project aims to feel native on macOS—respecting system features and accessibility—while giving power users the velocity they expect from a tiling manager. For developers and creators juggling many windows and monitors, AeroSpace reduces window fiddling to near zero, turning your desktop into a consistent, scriptable layout you can rely on all day.

shod is a mouse-based X11 window manager that can tile and tab windows inside floating containers. To tile windows, drag-and-drop the titlebar of one window into the border of the other with the right mouse button. The entire grid of tiles is called a "container", and can float around on the screen. shod works via mouse, possibly with a given modifier (Alt by default), and by responding to client messages sent by the shodc utility (shod's remote controller).
