About this project

HyprMac introduces a keyboard-driven tiling window management experience optimized for macOS, seamlessly integrating with standard operating system features without requiring SIP. With features like BSP tiling, numerous virtual workspaces, and intuitive window management, it offers an elegant workflow that caters to modern productivity needs.

HyprMac is a powerful and efficient keyboard-driven tiling window manager designed specifically for macOS, enabling users to seamlessly manage their windows without needing to disable System Integrity Protection (SIP). Harnessing the Caps Lock key as a dedicated Hypr modifier, HyprMac supports a variety of advanced window management features to optimize productivity.

Key Features

BSP Dwindle Tiling: Experience smart window insertion with adaptive sizing and automatic split ratio adjustments.
9 Virtual Workspaces: Fully managed in userspace, avoiding dependencies on macOS Spaces and SIP restrictions.
Directional Focus & Swap: Quickly navigate by moving or swapping windows in any direction across monitors.
Focus-Follows-Mouse: This toggleable feature enhances workflow by automatically focusing on windows as the mouse hovers over them—suppressed when menus are open for uninterrupted access.
Drag-to-Swap: Effortlessly swap the positions of windows by dragging one onto another.
Floating Toggle: Instantly toggle any window in or out of the tiled layout when needed.
Multi-Monitor Support: Assign workspaces to individual monitors and navigate between them easily.
Fully Configurable: Customize keybindings, app launchers, gaps, and padding directly in the app or through JSON files.
Keybind Overlay: Quickly reference active shortcuts at a glance using the Hypr+K command.

Efficient Workspace Management

HyprMac effectively creates nine independent workspaces, each capable of being assigned to different monitors. Each workspace retains its home monitor memory, ensuring a tailored approach to window management without cluttering the user's screen. Inactive windows are minimized to promote focus while still maintaining visibility.

Accessibility & Usage

Designed for macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, HyprMac requires Accessibility permission for smooth operation. The customizable nature of keybinds allows users to tailor their interaction with the window manager, with intuitive defaults set for common actions. Users can check for updates seamlessly within the app, ensuring they always have the latest features and improvements.

Inspired by Leading Technologies

HyprMac draws inspiration from various advanced window management solutions such as Hyprland, yabai, AeroSpace, Amethyst, and skhd. Each feature of HyprMac is crafted keeping in mind the need for an efficient and dynamic workflow, offering users a clean and powerful solution for window management on macOS.
