Came here to recommend aerospace. It’s been amazing. My whole desktop is like a tmux session now.

It’s very much changed how I work/use my computer. More than Rectangle did, more than LLMs have.

(I still adore hookshot/rectangle though :)

I used Yabai for years until I found aerospace, and switched over instantly. Would highly recommend anyone to try it :)

What does aerospace provide that yabai can't? I'm using yabai pretty much like I used to in Arch with i3

[barrell]

I’ve never used yabai or i3. I think the docs/defaults/configurations just really sold me on aerospace. yabai never really caught my eye. I’ve never seriously used Linux

I also think Aerospace was positioned as “macOS native features only” which helped sell me on it. Aka no hacks or workarounds

Aerospace is much better than yabai especially workspaces feature without disabling SIP

I'm using yabai with SIP enabled. The only thing that is missing is sending a window to another workspace. To do that I launch Mission Control and simply drag the window to desired workspace. It turns out I don't do that often so I can live with that.

The workspaces feature in Aerospace is phenomenal and so much better than native macOS workspaces. I highly recommend it. Also the accordion layout of aerospace is better than Yabai’s stacks, and the way that resizing windows works is also better

[urxvtcd]

I tried it, it's nice. There's an issue where high CPU usage makes it unusable though, last time I checked it was still open. Will probably try again in future.

I was able to get around this using renice to up the scheduler priority of the aerospace process.
