No-SIP tiling manager in Swift, but AeroSpace already owns this niche.

Strengths
  • •Swift + TCA architecture offers modern concurrency compared to yabai's older Objective-C.
  • •TOML config with hot-reload and CLI scripting support for custom automation workflows.
  • •Per-display workspace logic handles multi-monitor setups better than most basic tiling tools.
Weaknesses
  • •Competes directly with AeroSpace, which already established the no-SIP standard firmly today.
  • •Early development status means config stability and long-term maintenance are still unproven.

Post Description

I've used most macOS tiling/workspace tools (AeroSpace, yabai, FlashSpace, amethyst, rift, OmniWM). All I wanted was to not turn off the SIP and it was a tiling tool by workspace. So I created Tatami.

It's written in Swift + TCA, and it's still pretty early on, but it has all the features for the environment I want. I'm very inspired by yabai and flashspace. Thank you for both projects.
