GlazeWM is a free, open-source tiling window manager designed to improve desktop organization through automatic window placement and keyboard-driven controls. Inspired by the i3 window manager, it arranges application windows into structured layouts without requiring manual positioning. Users can move, resize, focus, and organize windows through customizable keyboard shortcuts. The application supports multiple monitors and workspaces for separating projects and applications. Its YAML configuration system enables users to define window rules, appearance settings, and preferred shortcuts. GlazeWM also integrates with Zebar to provide customizable desktop status bars and widgets. Built with Rust, it supports Windows and has expanded development toward macOS, offering a flexible environment for productivity-focused workflows.
