Hyprland, but for your Mac: tiling

Tiling, a status bar, glowing window borders and a plugin system, in one native app. No SIP changes, no glue scripts.

Riced on a real Mac

Neovim and btop tiled side by side, the bar across the top, the neon ring on the focused window. One app, no glue.

HyprDarwin in motion: windows tiling and switching workspaces

Watch it tile

Every new window takes its share of the screen. Focus moves with the keyboard, and the focused window wears the neon.

Everything. One app.

What used to take a window manager, a bar, a border daemon and a folder of scripts.

TILING

AeroSpace's tree tiling, virtual workspaces and real multi-monitor support. No need to disable SIP.

▭

STATUS BAR

One bar per screen: workspace pills, the front app, CPU, RAM, GPU, network, volume, battery, clock. Auto-hide and a notch panel.

◈

BORDERS

A gradient ring around the focused window, a dim ring around the rest. Rounded, sharp on Retina, drawn by the app.

⚡

PLUGINS

Any executable that prints JSON lines becomes a widget. React to events, add click menus, run commands.

⌖

MOUSE

Focus follows the mouse. Hold alt and drag to move any window, Hyprland style.

✦

ONE-COMMAND SETUP

hypr init applies the macOS settings, backs them up for undo, and writes a starter config.

Plugins in any language

A folder with a manifest and an executable. HyprDarwin runs it, supervises it and draws what it prints.

# plugin.toml
api = 1
exec = "./run.sh"
mode = "interval"   # or "stream"
interval = 5
events = ["click", "wake"]

#!/bin/sh  — run.sh
pct=$(memory_pressure | awk '/free percentage/ {print 100-$5}')
printf '{"icon":"\\uE266","label":"%s%%"}\n' "$pct"
# {"run": "workspace 2"}  runs a command
# {"popup": [...]}        adds a click menu
