ChainYourMac

The scrolling window manager for macOS.

ChainYourMac is a native scrolling window manager for macOS, inspired by PaperWM and niri on Linux. Instead of splitting your screen into ever-smaller tiles, it places every window side by side on one endless horizontal strip that runs past the edges of your display, so nothing overlaps, nothing hides behind anything else, and opening another app never shrinks the rest. New windows slot in right next to the one you're using, and the strip follows your focus as you move with the keyboard or swipe sideways on your trackpad. You can cycle window widths, go full width, center a window, stack windows or group them as tabs. It's notarized by Apple, needs only the Accessibility permission, doesn't require disabling SIP, and runs on macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon. Key Features: - Scrolling Strip Layout: every window gets its own column on an endless horizontal strip - Nothing Shrinks: new windows open beside the focused one while the rest keep their size - Trackpad and Keyboard Navigation: swipe sideways or use shortcuts to move focus and windows - Flexible Sizing: cycle widths, go full width, center, stack or tab windows - Safe and Native: notarized, no SIP changes, only the Accessibility permission needed ChainYourMac brings PaperWM-style scrolling tiling to macOS, sold as a one-time $19.99 lifetime license.
