Streamline your daily workflow and eliminate window clutter with Tiles, the ultimate workspace manager for macOS. Whether you're transitioning from deep coding sessions to client meetings, or juggling research, writing, and design tools, Tiles lets you capture your ideal desktop layout's and bring them back with a single click, keyboard shortcut, or widget.
I wanted to simplify my desk and return to a clean, minimal single-monitor setup, but my daily routine was anything but minimal. On any given day, I’m jumping between app development, UI design, and writing/researching articles for That Apple Guide.
Without multiple displays, my screen quickly devolved into visual and mental chaos.
Constantly dragging, resizing, and hunting for buried windows completely derailed my focus.
Existing window managers helped snap windows into place, but none addressed the broader issue of context switching between entirely different tasks.
I built Tiles to bring calm and intentionality back to the single-display experience. Instead of just managing individual windows, Tiles lets you curate dedicated workspaces for specific workflows.
You arrange your apps exactly where you want them, save the layout as a persistent Space, and instantly switch between tasks with a single shortcut or click.
During development, the focus shifted from simple snapping rectangles to frictionless state management. The goal evolved into making transitions feel instantaneous and native to macOS, ensuring you never have to rebuild your workspace every time you change tasks.
