Proper automatic tiling window managers don't just put your free-floating macOS windows on a grid. So now that you know this does exist, why bother? chunkwm (free/open source): code base is older, apparently abandoned, but you can find articles on the web about "chunkwm" and can get a glimpse into what to do with yabai.yabai is controlled via command line message sending. You can use Hammerspoon or a small keyboard shortcut tool called skhd or whatever you already have on your system. yabai (free/open source): apparently also removes the window chrome, aka the window title?! Doesn't come with shortcuts, you have to use another app for shortcuts and then invoke the yabai functions.You can select areas on the screen visually to put windows onto a grid. Divvy (paid): probably the most well-known window-space-divider thingie.Incidentally also comes with window tiling actions, and a right-click popover on the "Full-screen" window button - I happen to have this already, so I was experimenting with BTT in my "make this app native full-screen" attempts. BetterTouchTool (paid, available on SetApp): you can customize any input happening on your Mac.Amethyst ( open source): Easy to install, offers shortcuts to tile windows, based on "binary partitioning" (aka you are constantly halving the spaces).Here's a rough overview of the what - the software - that I found:
Turns out there's similar stuff available on macOS. Weird YouTube serendipity suggested I look into various tiling window managers for Linux after I've been watching tutorial, reviews, and guides on server maintenance and single board computers.
