Rift is a new open-source tiling window manager for macOS built in Rust, offering multiple layout styles including i3/sway-like tiling, bspwm-like BSP, and dwm-like master-stack. Notably, it works without disabling SIP and supports separate Spaces per display, addressing two major limitations of existing macOS WMs.
Background
macOS has long lacked a robust tiling window manager compared to Linux, with existing solutions like Amethyst having limitations such as requiring SIP disablement or not working well with separate Spaces.
