Enterprises wanting a powerful Window Manager platform

About i3

i3 is a tiling window manager, completely written from scratch. The target platforms are GNU/Linux and BSD operating systems, our code is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) under the BSD license. i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers. Based upon the experiences we made when wanting to hack/fix wmii, we agreed upon the following goals for i3. This includes being modifiable by people who do know how to program but who are not necessarily familiar with all of X11’s internals. That is, document why things happen and when they happen so that the user gets a picture of the whole process a Window Manager is responsible of by just reading the source code. Implement multi-monitor correctly, that is by assigning each workspace to a virtual screen. Especially make sure that attaching and detaching new monitors like video projectors works during operation and do the right thing. Also, provide support for rotated monitors.

AquaSnap
AquaSnap
Drag and drop your windows to the sides or corners of the screen, and they'll automatically be resized to fit one-half or one-quarter of the screen. This feature is just like the built-in Aero Snap function of Windows 10, but with more possibilities. This is especially useful on either a 4K monitor or multiple monitors. Be more productive with the best tiling window manager for Windows. Sometimes, splitting your desktop into halves or quarters is not ideal. When two windows are side-by-side, resizing one of them while pressing will also resize the other one. It's an easy and powerful way to modify the layout of several tiled windows. AquaSnap allows you to easily align your windows by making them behave like magnets. This simple feature is the cornerstone of AquaSnap, and has been carefully designed to assist you without getting in your way so you don't waste your desktop space.

Spencer for Mac
Spencer for Mac
Spencer for Mac is a new window manager with a completely unique approach. It solves the biggest problem with virtual desktops — restoring app windows exactly where they were saved. It’s especially useful when switching between different display setups (for example, work and home), disconnecting a MacBook from an external monitor, or even after a system restart. The huge advantage is that there’s no need to configure anything — just click Save and then Restore. The whole process takes only a few seconds, and that’s all the user needs to do. It goes further: Spencer can adjust the number of Spaces depending on your monitor setup or the active workspace. You can switch between custom workspaces (e.g. “Work”, “Meetings”, “Relax”), with the right apps launching, the others hidden, and full multi-monitor support. It’s like having a perfectly organized desktop environment on demand.
