AeroSpace Tile Manager

In the never-ending pursuit of optimal App/Window/Space management on my computer, I recently switched to AeroSpace

AeroSpace bills itself as:

an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS

If you are like me and have never used i3, you may be asking, what is this?

Honestly, it is hard to describe, but in a nutshell, it has replaced my usage of three different applications:

  1. OS X Spaces (grouping of windows/projects/etc)
  2. Magnet - window spacing
  3. Alt+Tab - intelligent, quick app switching

These three apps work as expected (and I have nothing but praise for Magnet, which always did its job), but I find I work in a much more consistent and repeatable environment and spend far less time navigating between apps.

I recommend checking out this video for a detailed overview.
