Hi @joseanmartinez, besides the content and the nice wallpapers, I fell in love with the look and feel of your zsh terminal, the colors, the icons, the status bar in the bottom, just everything looks beautiful together 🤩 Do you have a video where you show how you configured your zsh terminal? And, by the way, I’ll give Aerospace a try. Thanks for sharing! 🫶
Thank you for you awesome videos! I have switched over to using a Corne keyboard, using neovim and are now about to switch to using a window management tool because of you. The one question I always have when seeing window management videos is how people watch videos without going full screen. I personally use all my windows in full screen, but if I could make a video fill up an entire window without making the window itself full screen I could switch to using non full screen windows instead which seems much more efficient
Hey Josean, little shell shortcut, if you're repeating the arguments from a previous command you can use the bang commands to repeat them. `!!` repeats the whole command including arguments, useful for repeating a command with `sudo` if you forgot the first time. `!*` repeats all the arguments to the last command, `!^` repeats the first argument and `!$` repeats the last. So at 1:52 when you re-typed the directory name from the previous command you could have used `cd !$` and repeated the directory name. This works in bash and zsh and others.
I switched to Aerospace around 8 months ago (from Yabai) and I even contributed to Aerospace, but then I realized that actually I don't need any tiling manager, because 90% of time I use a single window maximized. And for the rest 10% I can just use a simple app that can move the window from left to right :D. In my case, resigning from tiling manager was actually a productivity boost, because I didn't have to fight anymore with multiple glitches caused by them, like when a small window pops up and the whole layout is getting crazy :D Also, most of the time when I need to split the screen is when I'm working in a terminal, but for that purpose I prefer using tmux or Neovim's splits rather than playing with multiple separate terminal windows :) Anyway, great video!
Same here bro! I have everything on one desktop and use Raycast to set shortcuts for sending a window to full screen, left side, or right side of screen. Works great when I hook up my laptop to my 39” monitor at home base too.

Thank you for your video. I am using aerospace for about 2 weeks and really like it, found it randomly in youtube. Hope your video will icrease popularity of this twm and contributors
great video thank you so much! i've ingored aerospace for some reason while hating my experience with yabai i've been using hammerspoon for my automations on macos i go back and forth from linux with i3/sway to macos and always struggle with macos tiling managers you've made my life so much better! thanks!
Was so confused from the title lol. This video came in at the perfect time! I just got a mac from my work and its my first time ever using a macbook. Thanks a lot!!
I've been a Vim and i3 user on Linux for many years, for both my personal and work computers. I recently started at a company that issues everybody a Mac (even though our target platform is Linux on Kubernetes), and have watched a few of your videos so far to make my Mac respond to what my years of muscle memory tell it to do. This stuff, plus using Karabiner with the pc-style shortcuts, has saved my sanity.
Thank you very much for your recommendation. I used i3 before, but switched to macos later, and tried Amethyst, but it didn't work very well. This aerospace is a good replacement. After watching the video, I got started very quickly, and it is enough to use.
I've really been enjoying your videos and this one is no exception! You've done a fantastic job introducing the Aerospace tiling window manager. Personally, I've invested quite a bit of time to get Yabai and my Elgato Stream Deck to work in harmony, but it's been worthwhile. However, I always appreciate learning about new tools. Your comprehensive guides are truly beneficial. Keep up the wonderful work!
This is amazing. Thanks for the heads up. I've been using yabai for years, but there's always been some pain points that this looks like it will resolve.
I was so frustrated with having to switch to a Mac for work, but tried Yabai and hated it. Found Aerospace and have been using it ever since, about 4 months now. Love it. Very configurable, fast and scriptable. I've stopped having to mess with window positioning despite regularly going back and forth from working directly on my laptop and docking with dual 4k monitors where I want a very different layout.
Hey, i just started using aerospace, i use a dual display setup. when i keep my external monitor as the main window, in the aerospace menu bar icon i see the built-in displays desktop shows up on workspace 10. how do i switch to that using the keyboard bindings? i can't press CMD+10 for obvious reasons.
@@akshayk467 adjust your config to remove or comment out any bindings for workspaces you don't use ("workspace" command). I only have 6 configured as that's more than enough for me and all I can comfortably each with only my left hand.
How do you handle multiple second delay when switching if you are doing any CPU intensive tasks? As soon as I compile anything I get 5 second switching time.
@@joblafors I generally have at least 100% CPU usage (spread across ~3 cores) and even which compiling and having all cores pegged I've never noticed a lag on an M1 Max, though it's rare for those conditions to last long for me so it's possible I've just not tried to do much then. Does it feel instantaneous when not compiling or is there a noticeable delay? If not instantaneous feeling there might be something else at play.
A huge thanks! It really helped me to grasp how to use aerospace. I used i3 years ago but forgot how to "think" in i3, and reading aerospace docs alone were not helping.
This is one of the best walkthroughs I've ever seen that goes into this many details on how to actually use a windows manager like this! Thank you for your time and efforts, sub gained!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, it's a blessing to have all that knowledge for free, i'm trying to get a cool sketchybar working with my aerospace setup, but it's kinda tough, if perchance you have solutions i'll be glad, for now i'm using your config from a previous video, it's good but i'd love to be able to see my current aero ws with the apps related to it in my bar. Thanks again, much love !
thank you for this Josean. I thought about installing Linux on my Macbook just to be able to have this workflow since I had it on my Linux machine before. I had used several tiling window managers on Linux such as BSPWM, i3, DWM, etc. But now that I have a Mac, this comes in handy. Thank you once again brother for this video it helped me tons.
So glad you showed me this. I've been so frustrated the way MacOS handles spaces. It's suboptimal, especially when navigating spaces. The delay between switching space is what kills it for me. Although I like that you can get native interaction to spaces, like yabai does, this is still better alternative. It'll take some time to get used to, but I like how workspaces work. Instant switch and immediate input, that's imperative for me.
Great video as always! I've been using Yabai since last year, inspired by you. It's been a game-changer for managing my 43-inch monitor. While I don't utilize all its features, the automatic window organization has been invaluable. I'm curious to try Aerospace, but I'm not expecting a drastic change in my case.
I'm not a huge tiling window manager kinda user, at most two horizontal splits so rectangle + raycast was enough for me. I like having desktops for specific purposes but the desktop switching animation on MacOS drives me insane. Aerospace workspaces looks really promising, thanks for the video!
@@DenisRasulev Mainly it's because I was using Rectangle for a long time before Raycast came out so I've just become used to it. One thing that is missing from Raycast's window management is Rectangle Pro's (previously Hook Shot) window throw (short and long throw). Barring this, Raycast would suffice! At a glance there seems to be a fair few settings and features Rectangle has that Raycast doesn't seem to have. But I don't think I'm actively using any of them except window throw
@@exkonos32 Thanks for the answer! I use window throw in Raycast all the time. Just check window management commands in Raycast and use standard or assign your own hotkeys. Once again, thanks for the answer, it helped!
@@DenisRasulev No worries! Window throw in Rectangle is having 8 zones around your cursor. You setup a modifier (ctrl+opt) in my case. When you hold the modifier you can just move your cursor to whichever zone for whatever window command you've set it up for
I have always loved your videos. Keep up the good work! Aerospace documentation feels so dull, and I couldn’t get motivated to set everything up until you dropped this.
Very good introduction to aerospace. I'm using the i3 config. I saw that you don't use Sketchybar anymore. I would love to see an update to your Sketchybar config cause it's supported by aerospace. Have a great day!
I was really struggling lately with yabai and skhd (buggy), compared to i3/hyprland config, this is a really well done tile window manager. Thank youfor making me discover it :)
Just started using mac os for work after dailying hyprland for the past year and it was rough, aerospace has been pretty great on bringing some of those features over.
Thank you for this video! I watched your Yabai video and was not convinced with the Yabai config but it looks like Aerospace solves most of the issues for me. I will git it a try for sure. I use Mac since 2001 and hate the navigation. I am shocked not every OS has real tiling option (usually it's a kind of crutch that doesn't give you full control over apps and desktop). Please do more of it especially "how tos" and "step-by-steps" :D
What a great video! Thank you for the time and effort you put into these tutorials. I've just finished installing Aerospace and WezTerm after watching your latest videos, love both of them!
Thanks for the great tool. The only thing I miss is saving a layout. For example, 3 programs are arranged on one monitor and two programs on the other monitor. Now when I call up the layout via a keyboard shortcut, the programs arrange themselves automatically. If a program is not open, it should start automatically. Finally, I would like to mention once again that AeroSpace is really great!
I have a week off from work, so it's a perfect timing. Reminds me of DWM from suckless. Never had an implementation, that I really liked on Mac, but this looks very promising. Implementing it on my MacBook Air now, and later this week, I'll try it on my Mac Studio with dual-monitor setup.
coming from dwm, and then hyprland, as well. it is more akin to i3 so no dynamic window management. i hope there is a way (through plugin perhaps) to make it work dynamically with master-client tile.
Great demonstration! My use case is such that I'm running multiple copies of the same applications: chrome, vscode, terminal in multiple workspaces. I want to give a custom, easy to recognize name to each workspace, based on the project I'm working on, and not use a single letter name. I already use Workona so each instance of Chrome only has tabs related to the project being worked upon in that workspace.
Have been using Aerospace for about a month. Never looked back at Amethyst or Rectangle. I did change the keybinds a little, and limited workspaces to numerics and a 'M' for Mac/Main screen. But I'm really glad that the horrible 'Spaces' are gone
I have been trying to understand better i3 on Fedora (my laptop) and it's been a thing. I was curious if there is anything similar for Mac OS (my desktop), and your video just popped up. A clear and fantastic guide! Thank you so much!
@@florianschweingruber2963 Having used both and switched to aerospace awhile go, I'd say aerospace is less buggy and the main thing is instant app switching, switching desktops take with yabai awhile even with reduced motions set in macos settings.
Thank you so much man! This dropped at a perfect time. I have been using yabai and skhd ever since I saw your setup video but recently, my skhd config had some trouble and it stopped working. All of the things I felt were missing in yabai and skhd, aerospace fixes those. So thanks a lot!
great video, not sure how I would've discovered this otherwise. I use keyboard maestro on macos to quickly switch between my 3-4 most common apps ~ browser, emacs, slack, spotify and will probably continue to do so but I like that this window manager allows me to quickly pop my browser and emacs into a side by side configuration if I really need to (for documentation purposes or what have you)
Can you make a video where yoy integrate your mac with nix package manager , homemanager and nix-darwin. It would be a huge help as the system will never break and all the dependencies would be separate and the config would be declarative. We would also be able to use more packages as nix unstable has almost 80000 packages second to AUR . It is a superior homebrew or macport and can replace it easily
Thanks for the insights into aerospace! I originally was going to use it instead of yabai but decided against it because it seemed too new. Glad to see it seems pretty stable, might make the switch!
@joseanmartinez quiero poner este comment para agradecerte ya que fue por tu video de como hacer setup a neovim le perdí el miedo al editor y descubrí lo maravilloso que es codear en neovim con tmux. Gracias y sigue haciendo este tipo de videos. Eres un capo maestro!

I like that you can move and sort windows with drag & drop with Yabai. This functionality seems to be missing from Aerospace and I can't be bothered with learning all the keyboard shortcuts for managing everything. It's a shame since moving windows to different spaces via shortcuts isn't working in Yabai anymore. Even with SIP partially disabled. But really great instructional content - that always makes me want to follow along immediately (and waste hours and hours because I always want to try the newest thing 😅)
Great stuff - I really liked i3 when Linux was my daily driver, and have wanted a similar experience since moving to Mac - I like the Mac experience, except for the window management, and aerospace goes a long way towards making it better. Now I just have to get these shortcuts under my fingers.
I installed aerospace but it assigns my external display as workspace 10 and when I try to add a keymap for focus, it changes the workspace of external display to 11, which happens when im in full screen mode, how do i focus on tabs with apps opened in full screen mode
Wow, thank you, great overview of a great WM. I've been using yabai for some time but found it a bit too complex and getting in my way. This seems perfect. You should contact the developers of aerospace and they should link your review on the project page cause there "official" video is really bad and doesn't do justice to the project.
Does the Workspace thing replace Mission Control’s desktops/spaces? It’s bugged me for years that macOS won’t remember which windows are in which desktops/spaces between boots.
Hi Josean, really enjoying your videos. Are you going to make a walkthrough of the native Mac OS window tiling (available with Sequoia) and maybe do a comparison with Aerospace?
Thanks! Yo no podia usar yabai por que en la mac del trabajo no me dejaban desactivar esas funciones, estaba usando Amethyst pero era un desastre con multiples monitores, ahora estoy probando y acostumbrandome a aeroespace, se ve muy bueno. Saludos!
Thank you! I didnt think much of it, and the configuration seemed way more complicated than it actually is, but I am happy I did it! Even though the software is in beta, for me it works near flawlessly. My only problem is, that when I move a window on monitor #3 into a new Workspace X for example, it will move it there, but when I switch to X (ALT-X), it appears on monitor #1 and I have to Move-Workspace-To-Monitor it twice. Why can't the workspace be created in the monitor where I was. Maybe you know something.
Is it possible to swap alt key for another key such as semi colon while changing the workspaces ? I feel like the combination of semicolon +1/2/3/ would be easy to reach. Also, how do you disable your macos animation while changing the workspaces, I've tried reduce motion but there's still fade in animation in there. Thank you for the tutorial.
how to you enable focus when you move the app to a new workspace ? now I need to move the app to work space and then I need to move to that workspace...

Hey Josean, little shell shortcut, if you're repeating the arguments from a previous command you can use the bang commands to repeat them. `!!` repeats the whole command including arguments, useful for repeating a command with `sudo` if you forgot the first time. `!*` repeats all the arguments to the last command, `!^` repeats the first argument and `!$` repeats the last. So at 1:52 when you re-typed the directory name from the previous command you could have used `cd !$` and repeated the directory name. This works in bash and zsh and others.

This is amazing. Thanks for the heads up. I've been using yabai for years, but there's always been some pain points that this looks like it will resolve.
Yeah I eventually stopped using Yabai and just recently picked up Aerospace! I really like it!
I’ve also started using aerospace a couple of weeks ago and I also quite liked it
@@aokijikuzan6453 Nice! I really like it too
I was so frustrated with having to switch to a Mac for work, but tried Yabai and hated it. Found Aerospace and have been using it ever since, about 4 months now. Love it. Very configurable, fast and scriptable. I've stopped having to mess with window positioning despite regularly going back and forth from working directly on my laptop and docking with dual 4k monitors where I want a very different layout.
@@mdfrick Awesome!!
Hey, i just started using aerospace, i use a dual display setup. when i keep my external monitor as the main window, in the aerospace menu bar icon i see the built-in displays desktop shows up on workspace 10. how do i switch to that using the keyboard bindings? i can't press CMD+10 for obvious reasons.
@@akshayk467 adjust your config to remove or comment out any bindings for workspaces you don't use ("workspace" command). I only have 6 configured as that's more than enough for me and all I can comfortably each with only my left hand.
How do you handle multiple second delay when switching if you are doing any CPU intensive tasks? As soon as I compile anything I get 5 second switching time.
@@joblafors I generally have at least 100% CPU usage (spread across ~3 cores) and even which compiling and having all cores pegged I've never noticed a lag on an M1 Max, though it's rare for those conditions to last long for me so it's possible I've just not tried to do much then. Does it feel instantaneous when not compiling or is there a noticeable delay? If not instantaneous feeling there might be something else at play.
This has been a game changer for me, being able to separate out contexts and map them to keys; it’s the organization I’ve always needed ahhh
One of the best things I have ever come across. This is going to revolutionise the way I work
A huge thanks! It really helped me to grasp how to use aerospace. I used i3 years ago but forgot how to "think" in i3, and reading aerospace docs alone were not helping.
This is one of the best walkthroughs I've ever seen that goes into this many details on how to actually use a windows manager like this! Thank you for your time and efforts, sub gained!
I really love aerospace. On my config, I name the workspaces as emoji so a single nice icon in the menu bar indicates which.
@@theherk Nice! This is in the keymaps for navigating to different workspaces?
@joseanmartinez Yes. Anywhere the workspace name is mentioned in the configuration, it is done by emoji. You can check it out in theherk/commons.
@@theherk sounds good, thanks!
didn't know this. interesting. tysm
Danke!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, it's a blessing to have all that knowledge for free, i'm trying to get a cool sketchybar working with my aerospace setup, but it's kinda tough, if perchance you have solutions i'll be glad, for now i'm using your config from a previous video, it's good but i'd love to be able to see my current aero ws with the apps related to it in my bar.
Thanks again, much love !
thank you for this Josean. I thought about installing Linux on my Macbook just to be able to have this workflow since I had it on my Linux machine before. I had used several tiling window managers on Linux such as BSPWM, i3, DWM, etc. But now that I have a Mac, this comes in handy. Thank you once again brother for this video it helped me tons.
Been using for several months now and it has been absolutely great
Awesome! Happy to hear it!
Best guide for Aerospace I have ever seen.
Based on it I had created my own config, thanks a lot!
Aerospace is the only wm on mac that works great with multiple monitors. Great job sharing knowledge about it with the others
So glad you showed me this. I've been so frustrated the way MacOS handles spaces. It's suboptimal, especially when navigating spaces. The delay between switching space is what kills it for me. Although I like that you can get native interaction to spaces, like yabai does, this is still better alternative. It'll take some time to get used to, but I like how workspaces work. Instant switch and immediate input, that's imperative for me.
No other words than legend! Amazing tutorial these will be shortcuts that I'll use every single day from now on! 🔥
This was a really fun thorough tutorial. I used this to dive into AeroSpace this weekend. Thank you!
Great video as always!
I've been using Yabai since last year, inspired by you. It's been a game-changer for managing my 43-inch monitor. While I don't utilize all its features, the automatic window organization has been invaluable. I'm curious to try Aerospace, but I'm not expecting a drastic change in my case.
You absolutely deserve a subscribe, I've seen multiple videos that are really clear in your explanation and are super useful, thank you!
I'm not a huge tiling window manager kinda user, at most two horizontal splits so rectangle + raycast was enough for me. I like having desktops for specific purposes but the desktop switching animation on MacOS drives me insane. Aerospace workspaces looks really promising, thanks for the video!
I'm trying to understand why we need Rectangle when we already have Raycast? I do all my window management only with Raycast. What am I missing?
@@DenisRasulev Mainly it's because I was using Rectangle for a long time before Raycast came out so I've just become used to it. One thing that is missing from Raycast's window management is Rectangle Pro's (previously Hook Shot) window throw (short and long throw). Barring this, Raycast would suffice!
At a glance there seems to be a fair few settings and features Rectangle has that Raycast doesn't seem to have. But I don't think I'm actively using any of them except window throw
@@exkonos32 Thanks for the answer! I use window throw in Raycast all the time. Just check window management commands in Raycast and use standard or assign your own hotkeys. Once again, thanks for the answer, it helped!
@@DenisRasulev No worries! Window throw in Rectangle is having 8 zones around your cursor. You setup a modifier (ctrl+opt) in my case. When you hold the modifier you can just move your cursor to whichever zone for whatever window command you've set it up for
I really enjoyed this style of videos. Could you make an updated video for Sketchy bar that can incorporate the aerospace functionalities?
I have always loved your videos. Keep up the good work! Aerospace documentation feels so dull, and I couldn’t get motivated to set everything up until you dropped this.
This is a crazy high quality video bro
Very good introduction to aerospace. I'm using the i3 config. I saw that you don't use Sketchybar anymore. I would love to see an update to your Sketchybar config cause it's supported by aerospace. Have a great day!
great timing! was about to switch to yabai, but then this video pops up :)
I think you’ll like Aerospace!
I switched to yabai too, feel laggy when using aerospace, I checked the process, it cost too much RAM. I used it in m1 pro 16 inch 512/16gb
I was really struggling lately with yabai and skhd (buggy), compared to i3/hyprland config, this is a really well done tile window manager. Thank youfor making me discover it :)
Just started using mac os for work after dailying hyprland for the past year and it was rough, aerospace has been pretty great on bringing some of those features over.
That's super handy! Been used almost all the window managers, but this one looks so good! Thanks for the review
Thank you for this video! I watched your Yabai video and was not convinced with the Yabai config but it looks like Aerospace solves most of the issues for me. I will git it a try for sure. I use Mac since 2001 and hate the navigation. I am shocked not every OS has real tiling option (usually it's a kind of crutch that doesn't give you full control over apps and desktop). Please do more of it especially "how tos" and "step-by-steps" :D
Great tutorial. Discovered aeroSpace because of this and love it on my mac!
What a great video! Thank you for the time and effort you put into these tutorials. I've just finished installing Aerospace and WezTerm after watching your latest videos, love both of them!
As always, high quality! Thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for the video - been using Rectangle on Mac for the last 2/3 years - will try Aerospace
How did it go?
Thanks for the great tool. The only thing I miss is saving a layout. For example, 3 programs are arranged on one monitor and two programs on the other monitor. Now when I call up the layout via a keyboard shortcut, the programs arrange themselves automatically. If a program is not open, it should start automatically.
Finally, I would like to mention once again that AeroSpace is really great!
do you recommend one that does this. I need this feature
I've been wanting to try a twm for a while, but the SIP requirement of Yabai always scared me off. Glad I've got a good option to try now!
Amazing. Thanks. Just as i was looking at the Aerospace because Yabai has never really clicked for me
Happy to hear that!
Excellent overview of Aerospace. Thank you!
I have a week off from work, so it's a perfect timing. Reminds me of DWM from suckless. Never had an implementation, that I really liked on Mac, but this looks very promising. Implementing it on my MacBook Air now, and later this week, I'll try it on my Mac Studio with dual-monitor setup.
coming from dwm, and then hyprland, as well. it is more akin to i3 so no dynamic window management. i hope there is a way (through plugin perhaps) to make it work dynamically with master-client tile.
Oh this is nice. It also works well with hammer spoon, so the hyper key + T for example will switch you to the correct space for terminal for example.
Great demonstration! My use case is such that I'm running multiple copies of the same applications: chrome, vscode, terminal in multiple workspaces. I want to give a custom, easy to recognize name to each workspace, based on the project I'm working on, and not use a single letter name. I already use Workona so each instance of Chrome only has tabs related to the project being worked upon in that workspace.
Fantastic walk through. So clear, concise and covered every question I had. Keep up the good work
Have been using Aerospace for about a month. Never looked back at Amethyst or Rectangle. I did change the keybinds a little, and limited workspaces to numerics and a 'M' for Mac/Main screen.
But I'm really glad that the horrible 'Spaces' are gone
Yeah I think the reimplemented workspaces are a lot nicer!
I have been trying to understand better i3 on Fedora (my laptop) and it's been a thing. I was curious if there is anything similar for Mac OS (my desktop), and your video just popped up. A clear and fantastic guide! Thank you so much!
The SIP, thing is why I stopped using yabai in favor of amethyst. Thanks for the recommendation.
As always amazing content. I really liked this one and I am going to try Aerospace right away 😄 Thank you Jose! 🙏🏻
Happy to hear that! Thank you Ermand!
Perfect timing! Was getting really annoyed of yabai 😅
I actually had stopped using it for a while and was just using Rectangle until I found this!
@@joseanmartinez what would you guys say are the advantages of aerospace over yabai?
@@joseanmartinez I did the same went and got a linux machine to use i3! Hopefully aerospace will be last wm i configure 🙏
@@florianschweingruber2963 Having used both and switched to aerospace awhile go, I'd say aerospace is less buggy and the main thing is instant app switching, switching desktops take with yabai awhile even with reduced motions set in macos settings.
Thank you so much man! This dropped at a perfect time. I have been using yabai and skhd ever since I saw your setup video but recently, my skhd config had some trouble and it stopped working. All of the things I felt were missing in yabai and skhd, aerospace fixes those. So thanks a lot!
Awesome! I think you’ll like Aerospace!
great video, not sure how I would've discovered this otherwise. I use keyboard maestro on macos to quickly switch between my 3-4 most common apps ~ browser, emacs, slack, spotify and will probably continue to do so but I like that this window manager allows me to quickly pop my browser and emacs into a side by side configuration if I really need to (for documentation purposes or what have you)
Can you make a video where yoy integrate your mac with nix package manager , homemanager and nix-darwin. It would be a huge help as the system will never break and all the dependencies would be separate and the config would be declarative. We would also be able to use more packages as nix unstable has almost 80000 packages second to AUR . It is a superior homebrew or macport and can replace it easily
Nice! Thanks for sharing aerospace and the great intro how to use it. First thing to try on Monday.
Wow, that looks great! Thanks for showcasing this handy helper
Thanks for the insights into aerospace! I originally was going to use it instead of yabai but decided against it because it seemed too new. Glad to see it seems pretty stable, might make the switch!
Awesome, thanks Jonathan!
@joseanmartinez quiero poner este comment para agradecerte ya que fue por tu video de como hacer setup a neovim le perdí el miedo al editor y descubrí lo maravilloso que es codear en neovim con tmux. Gracias y sigue haciendo este tipo de videos. Eres un capo maestro!
Muchísimas gracias por tus palabras. Me alegro mucho que estés disfrutando de Neovim y Tmux. Es lo mejor!
Thank you, Josean. I'm going to switch from yabai to aerospace now.
Thanks for this! I lived yabai and I was using it for around 2 years, but man aerospace is soooo much better!
what are the pros and cons of each when you compare them? loving Aerospace, never tried Yabai because I was not allowed to disable SIP
@@agenttank
- Yabai
Cons:
- You have to disable SIP for some features and I didn't disable it and because of that I didn't have workspace manipulation
- If you want keyboard shortcuts you have to use skhd. I don't have a problem with skhd it's really a nice tool and I use it for other things, but you have to query then Yabai for everything related to it. Having built-in shortcuts that you can easily change is really a plus without trying to figure out how to query windows apps etc.
- Since I didn't have the workspace manipulation I had to create every workspace that I needed manually and then I had to move the app in the workspace that I wanted and it can be a little bit messy.
- Sometimes focusing to different apps didn't work and I would have to restart it in order to get it going again.
Pros:
- Because of Yabai I have learned jq which I now use regularly and it's a really powerful tool.
- If you use a custom bar like SketchyBar, Yabai has a better integration approach than Aerospace for now.
- It has custom rules that you can apply for certain apps and it has custom signals that you can invoke on certain actions and that can be helpful
- Aerospace
Cons:
- If you use a custom bar like SketchyBar, the integration can be a little bit tricky to set and it depends on what you want to do, but I think Yabai has more options for their custom signals and events
- If you want to change focus between multiple monitors (I use two) you have to first change the display and then change the monitor. In Yabai you can cycle between visible windows regardless of the monitor on which they are. Maybe you can do this with Aerospace too but I didn't find it.
- Sometimes it is slow when switching workspaces. I found an issue on the github page and they are still trying to figure out why is that happening. It's not a breaking problem for me since the slow/freeze is 1 sec and then disappears.
Pros:
- You can manage your workspaces without disabling SIP and you don't have to create multiple MacOS workspaces but you only need one!
- Built-in keyboard shortcuts and actions that you can trigger without using a third-party tool.
- You can assign workspaces to letters and you can easily know which workspaces you have what. For example, I have my terminal on workspace T, I have my debug terminal on workspace D, my work browser on workspace W, etc.
- When a new window is detected you can automatically move that window to whichever workspace you want. For example, I use this to move my Brave browser window to workspace W
[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'com.brave.Browser'
if.window-title-regex-substring = 'work'
run = 'move-node-to-workspace W'
- You can force which workspace is located on which display if you use multiple displays which is so nice.
That's all I could think of now :) I just started using it and I really like it and take this "review" with a grain of salt since I'm now more leaning towards Aerospace since it's a new tool that I use and everything is awesome and cool, but maybe for you, Yabai is better.

lovely intro to this program. thanks for the help!
I like that you can move and sort windows with drag & drop with Yabai. This functionality seems to be missing from Aerospace and I can't be bothered with learning all the keyboard shortcuts for managing everything. It's a shame since moving windows to different spaces via shortcuts isn't working in Yabai anymore. Even with SIP partially disabled.
But really great instructional content - that always makes me want to follow along immediately (and waste hours and hours because I always want to try the newest thing 😅)
Great video introduction to Aerospace. Thank you!
awesome explanation as always
Great job. This really helped!
How did you change all the values from 0 to 60 at the 3:51 mark?
great video. thank you for the tutorial.
Great stuff - I really liked i3 when Linux was my daily driver, and have wanted a similar experience since moving to Mac - I like the Mac experience, except for the window management, and aerospace goes a long way towards making it better. Now I just have to get these shortcuts under my fingers.
I installed aerospace but it assigns my external display as workspace 10 and when I try to add a keymap for focus, it changes the workspace of external display to 11, which happens when im in full screen mode, how do i focus on tabs with apps opened in full screen mode
Thanks dude! Great intro 👍🏼
That solves all my problems with Yabai. Super thanks for finding it and sharing. 🎉
tell me about it. the last few weeks have been annoying. Switching asap
Awesome! Happy to hear it!
I haven't tried Yabai yet, but I feel I will like better the fact that it's based on native features like spaces.
Great video. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for sharing. Tried it and like it better than yabai.💯
Wow, thank you, great overview of a great WM. I've been using yabai for some time but found it a bit too complex and getting in my way. This seems perfect. You should contact the developers of aerospace and they should link your review on the project page cause there "official" video is really bad and doesn't do justice to the project.
Thank you so much! I might just give that a shot!
This is great! Thank you for the crash course!
Does the Workspace thing replace Mission Control’s desktops/spaces? It’s bugged me for years that macOS won’t remember which windows are in which desktops/spaces between boots.
this is the best tiling manager ever!
thanks for this video dude, this is so much better than yabai!
Try State Manager. Beautiful and simple for everyone
Hi Josean, really enjoying your videos. Are you going to make a walkthrough of the native Mac OS window tiling (available with Sequoia) and maybe do a comparison with Aerospace?
Thanks! Yo no podia usar yabai por que en la mac del trabajo no me dejaban desactivar esas funciones, estaba usando Amethyst pero era un desastre con multiples monitores, ahora estoy probando y acostumbrandome a aeroespace, se ve muy bueno. Saludos!
Me alegro mucho! Que bueno que te está funcionando bien
Great video! This was the missing piece in my workflow for sure, thanks
Thanks for the work you put into making this tutorial video and the blog post.
Happy to hear that!
Great video!
Thank you! I didnt think much of it, and the configuration seemed way more complicated than it actually is, but I am happy I did it! Even though the software is in beta, for me it works near flawlessly. My only problem is, that when I move a window on monitor #3 into a new Workspace X for example, it will move it there, but when I switch to X (ALT-X), it appears on monitor #1 and I have to Move-Workspace-To-Monitor it twice. Why can't the workspace be created in the monitor where I was. Maybe you know something.
Perfect timing
Is it possible to swap alt key for another key such as semi colon while changing the workspaces ? I feel like the combination of semicolon +1/2/3/ would be easy to reach.
Also, how do you disable your macos animation while changing the workspaces, I've tried reduce motion but there's still fade in animation in there.
Thank you for the tutorial.
I have the same problem and its annoying. Main advantage was to switch without animations.
Did you find the solutions by any chance ?
This is awesome! Will try this asap..truly much better than yabai
Awesome!
for some reason, i can't change the focus between windows, any ideas why?
Hi, can you tell me what you are using for the status bar at the bottom of the terminal?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! it is amazing!
Thanks a lot, Just move from Yabai~
that's fantastic! thank you so much:) One thing I still dont really get if I can open a program by default in a specific workspace?
how to you enable focus when you move the app to a new workspace ? now I need to move the app to work space and then I need to move to that workspace...
