AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS that emulates virtual workspaces without disabling SIP.

Why you might care

Suited to macOS users who want i3-style keyboard-driven tiling with plain text config and a CLI. It uses its own virtual workspaces instead of native Spaces, so switching is fast and needs no SIP changes. Installable via Homebrew, which also handles autoupdates.
