history
Project history and usage
Paneru is a scrollable tiling window manager for macOS that arranges windows on per-display horizontal strips.
Project history
Paneru was created as a macOS window manager built around an infinite horizontal strip. Unlike conventional dynamic tilers, opening a window does not resize existing windows, and each monitor maintains an independent strip.
Adoption history
Paneru is packaged for Homebrew and Nix. Its official documentation also covers Home Manager and standalone Nix packaging, reflecting adoption among declarative macOS setup users.
How it is used
Users install Paneru with Homebrew or Nix, grant macOS Accessibility permission, configure commands and window rules in TOML, and run it as a foreground process or service. It is intended for keyboard-driven navigation through stable-width tiled windows.
Why package nerds care
Paneru brings the scrollable-tiling model associated with projects such as Niri and PaperWM to macOS. Package enthusiasts may value its command-line operation, XDG-aware configuration, Homebrew availability, and Nix integration.
Timeline
- 2026: The official project wiki was established.
- 2026: The 0.4 series added virtual workspaces and continued accessibility and configuration-onboarding improvements.
Related projects
- The project identifies Niri as a principal inspiration and lists PaperWM, karousel, papersway, hyprscroller, hyprslidr, and PaperWM.spoon as related scrollable-tiling systems.
