Tiling Window Manager For Macos

The dynamic / automatic tiling window manager for windows 10 along the lines of ianyh/Amethyst.

A very quick screencast of basic functions is available.

Tiles by Sempliva. Organize your macOS windows in a snap. Tiles is a window manager which allows you to easily reorganize windows by either dragging them to the edges of the screen, using keyboard shortcuts, or the menu bar. I can only speak to macOS, but window management in this case is actually built on something entirely distinct from the actual system window manager. It utilizes a framework designed for implementing accessibility driven features, but it just happens to provide mechanisms for moving and tracking windows as a part of that.
