hyprmac beta 0.1.0 is out
Windows that place themselves.
Open a window and hyprmac gives it its share of the screen — sized, positioned, never on top of anything else. You never nudge one into place or drag a corner to resize it again. To rearrange, drop one window onto another and the two swap.
In the shape of hyprland — dwindle layout, gaps, a real config file — but it works with a mouse from the first minute. Native Swift, no dependencies, SIP stays on.
Coming from Hyprland or Omarchy? Read this first — what carries over to a Mac, and what genuinely cannot.

You do not have to learn anything first
It works with a mouse. The keyboard is the reward, not the price of entry.
Most tiling window managers hand you a config file and a wiki and wish you luck. hyprmac is usable the moment it launches, and every shortcut in it is optional.
Drag a window onto another
They swap places. Drop it on the left or right half of a window instead and that window splits, with yours taking the side you dropped it on. The tile you are over lights up before you let go, so you always see what is about to happen.
Nothing to memorise
Press ⌥/ and a sheet lists every shortcut currently bound, built from your live config rather than a manual that drifts out of date. Learn them one at a time, or never.
It still feels like a Mac
Your wallpaper, your accent colour, your appearance setting. Workspaces live in the menu bar because there is already a bar up there. No neon status bar, no fixed dark palette, none of the Linux ricing that reads as foreign on macOS.
Any window can opt out
⌥V floats the focused window free of the tiling, to sit where you put it. A window you float by hand is never tiled automatically again, so the app that fights you only fights you once.
Nothing is destroyed
Quitting puts every window back where it found them. Nothing you had open is closed, moved, or lost — you can try it for an afternoon and walk away with your desktop exactly as you left it.
Swipe between workspaces
Three fingers left or right moves you between workspaces, the same gesture you already use to change desktops. Three fingers up or down opens an overview of all five at once — no shortcut to learn, and nothing new to get used to.
Then it stays out of your way
Set it up once and forget about it
It remembers where everything was
Restart your Mac, or shut the lid overnight, and your windows come back to the same places on the same desktops. You arrange things once; it keeps them that way.
Nothing leaves your machine
There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. No analytics, no crash reporting, no update pings — hyprmac never talks to the internet, so what is on your screen stays on your screen.
One permission, and that is all
It asks macOS for permission to move windows, and nothing else. Not to record your screen, not to read your files, not to watch what you type. You can check it yourself in System Settings.
Wisp OS
One half is finished. The other is coming.
hyprmac
Window manager
The dwindle tree, gaps, rounding, five workspaces in your menu bar, and a
hyprland.conf that parses the way you expect. Drag a window onto another and
they swap. Layouts survive a restart — and a night of sleep.
Wisper
In developmentThe second half: an assistant that lives on your desktop and runs entirely on your own machine. No account, no API key, nothing sent anywhere for her to answer you. She is not ready to be handed to anyone yet.
What is coming →hyprmac is in beta.
A one-megabyte disk image, signed and notarized by Apple. Drag it to Applications, grant one permission, and it starts tiling. Nothing else to install.
