By skyforbes For the past months, I’ve been building a new, tiling window manager from the ground up and today I'm excited to share the first alpha release.
Why GooeyWM?
Zero bloat: built without heavy GUI toolkits (no Qt, no GTK).
Tiling + clean UI: automatic window tiling for productivity and a modern, intuitive interface.
Fully configurable: easy-to-read config file, customizable keybinds, and workspace management tailored to your workflow.
What you get in this alpha:
Dynamic tiling + “monocle” layout modes.
Virtual desktops (workspaces).
Keyboard-driven workflow: focus, move, resize windows, all with shortcuts, no mouse needed.
Lightweight performance suited for power-users, developers, and anyone who wants a clean, minimal desktop environment.
If you’re curious, give it a try installation is a one-liner (on Linux), link in comments.
I’d love to hear feedback: what works, what needs polish, what features you’d love to see next. website: https://binaryinktn.github.io/GooeyDE/
