About:
Glide is a dynamic tiling window manager for macOS that automatically organizes application windows into efficient layouts. It uses a tree-based structure to manage window placement, enabling users to focus on their work without manual window management. Its main value is providing a keyboard-driven, distraction-free workspace that maximizes screen real estate.
Key Features:
  • Tree-based tiling layouts
  • Keyboard-driven navigation and control
  • Automatic window arrangement
  • Support for multiple workspaces
  • Configurable via a simple JSON file
Use Cases:
  • Maximizing productivity on limited screen space (e.g., laptops)
  • Creating organized, distraction-free development environments
  • Efficiently managing multiple applications side-by-side for research or multitasking
Alternatives:
  • yabai – More advanced scripting and low-level control, but requires disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP)
  • Amethyst – Established tiling window manager with extensive customization, but less tree-focused
