GlazeWM is a tiling window manager for Windows and macOS inspired by i3wm.
GlazeWM addresses the problem of inefficient window management by letting users organize and adjust window layouts through keyboard-driven commands rather than mouse interaction. It uses a tiling approach where windows are automatically arranged to fill available screen space, and users can switch between different layout modes on the fly. Configuration is handled through simple YAML files, allowing customization of keybindings, window-specific rules, and behavior across multiple monitors.
The tool suits developers and power users who prefer keyboard-centric workflows and want fine-grained control over window positioning. It works well for those already familiar with tiling window managers on Linux who want similar functionality on Windows or macOS. The project includes one-click installation through multiple package managers and optional integration with Zebar for status bar functionality. A default configuration can be generated on first launch, making it accessible to newcomers while remaining highly customizable for advanced users.
The project maintains active development with recent major releases. Contributions are actively welcomed through a documented contributing guide. The maintainers provide clear documentation including default keybindings, configuration examples, and a comprehensive list of available keys for remapping.
