How TileMyMac compares
Mac window managers work in three main ways. Snapping apps place one window when you ask. Tiling apps make every window share the screen. Scrolling apps, like TileMyMac, keep windows side by side in a row that slides.
- TileMyMac vs RectangleRectangle is a free, open-source app that snaps a window to half, a third or a corner of the screen when you ask. TileMyMac arranges every window for you, side by side in a row that slides.
- TileMyMac vs MagnetMagnet is a popular Mac App Store app that snaps windows into tiles: halves, thirds and quarters. TileMyMac keeps every window side by side in a tidy row, and arranges them for you.
- TileMyMac vs AeroSpaceAeroSpace is a free, open-source tiling window manager in the style of i3, set up by editing a TOML file. TileMyMac keeps windows side by side in a sliding row, and you set it up by clicking.
- TileMyMac vs ChainYourMacThese two are close cousins. Both are scrolling window managers for macOS: windows sit side by side in a row that runs past the edges of your screen, and both are set up in a settings window instead of a config file.

If you've used a scrolling window manager on Linux, TileMyMac will feel familiar.
- niri, on your MacIf you love niri on Linux, you already know how TileMyMac works. Windows sit side by side on a row that runs past the edges of your screen, and opening a new one never squeezes the others.
- PaperWM, on your MacComing from PaperWM on GNOME? TileMyMac works the same way on macOS: windows sit side by side in a row, new ones open right next to the one you're using, and you slide along with a shortcut or a swipe.
