What is Komorebi?

Komorebi is a tiling window manager for Windows 10 and above, with a separate komorebi for Mac, written in Rust by the developer LGUG2Z. It arranges application windows automatically into layouts across virtual workspaces and monitors, and is controlled through a command-line tool that users bind to keyboard shortcuts. The source is published under the Komorebi License, which makes personal use free and requires a paid subscription license for use at work.

Komorebi has a free plan. Paid plans start at $10 per month for a single-platform commercial license ($110 billed annually). See every plan

Good for

  • Windows users who want automatic tiling in the style of bspwm or yabai
  • Keyboard-driven control of windows, workspaces and monitors
  • Personal use at no cost

Worth knowing

  • The license permits no commercial use: using it at work needs an Individual Commercial Use License, from $10 a month per person.
  • It is not open source. The developer calls it educational source software, and the license forbids redistribution and hard forks.
  • Setup is through configuration files and the command line, and key bindings need a separate tool such as whkd or AutoHotkey.
  • Windows and Mac commercial licenses are bought separately unless you take the multi-platform one, and subscriptions are not refunded.

Key features

Automatic tiling layouts
Arranges windows without overlap in layouts such as BSP, Vertical Stack, Horizontal Stack, Columns, Rows, Ultrawide Vertical Stack and Grid, chosen per workspace.
Workspaces on every monitor
Each monitor has its own set of virtual workspaces, and commands move or send windows between workspaces and between monitors.
Window stacking
Several windows can share one container as a stack and be cycled through, so a group of windows takes up a single tile in the layout.
Command-line control
The komorebic CLI sends every command to the window manager. Key bindings come from a separate hotkey daemon such as whkd or AutoHotkey.
Status bar
komorebi-bar is an included status bar tied to the window manager, and it can be customized with widgets and themes.
JSON configuration and app rules
Settings live in a komorebi.json file, with example configurations provided. A community-maintained list of rules covers applications that misbehave when tiled.
