Summary
Rift is a tiling window manager for macOS currently in active development, focusing on performance and usability. It was created as an alternative to Aerospace, addressing limitations like missing animations and the inability to use fullscreen on one display while working on another. The project leverages private/undocumented APIs for reliability and is generally stable despite being in development with no official release yet.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledRift is a tiling window manager for MacOS that focuses on performance and usability.
Rift is in active development but is still generally stable. There is no official release yet; expect ongoing changes.
Aerospace worked well for me, but I missed animations and the ability to use fullscreen on one display while working on the other.
I also prefer leveraging private/undocumented API's as they tend to be more reliable (due to the os being built on them).
