About komorebi
komorebi extends Windows' own Desktop Window Manager with binary space partitioning: open a window and the existing ones resize to make room, with no dragging. It adds virtual workspaces per monitor, rules for how specific applications should behave, and a command line for scripting the whole thing.
The licence is the thing to read first. Individual use is free under the Komorebi License 2.0.0; commercial use on a company-managed device requires a paid Individual Commercial Use License, and the program detects mobile device management enrolment and shows a splash screen accordingly.
Strengths
- Real automatic tiling on Windows, not just snapping
- Virtual workspaces per monitor with multi-monitor support
- Per-application rules for windows that misbehave when tiled
- Scriptable through a command line client
Limitations
- Commercial use on a managed device needs a paid licence
- Detects mobile device management enrolment and shows a corporate splash
- Windows 10 and later only
- Configuration is deep and takes a session or two to get right
