    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements a sliding, tiling window manager for MacOS that arranges windows on an infinite horizontal strip without resizing existing windows.
    • Maintains layout stability by never resizing existing windows when opening new ones and supports independent window strips per monitor.
    • Use for managing multiple windows efficiently on large MacOS displays without shrinking windows to unusable sizes.
    • Use for users who prefer focus-follows-mouse behavior and touchpad gestures to navigate and manage windows naturally.
    • Use for integrating with MacOS workspaces to switch between independent window strips and drag windows across workspaces seamlessly.

    From the README

    A sliding, tiling window manager for MacOS.

    Paneru is a MacOS window manager that arranges windows on an infinite strip, extending to the right. A core principle is that opening a new window will never cause existing windows to resize, maintaining your layout stability.

    Each monitor operates with its own independent window strip, ensuring that windows remain confined to their respective displays and do not "overflow" onto adjacent monitors.
