Project status

Public Beta. AeroSpace can be used as a daily driver, but expect breaking changes until 1.0 is reached.

Key features

Installation

Install via Homebrew to get autoupdates (Preferred)

brew install --cask nikitabobko/tap/aerospace

In multi-monitor setup please make sure that monitors are properly arranged.

Other installation options: https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/guide#installation

[!NOTE] By using AeroSpace, you acknowledge that it's not notarized.

Notarization is a "security" feature by Apple. You send binaries to Apple, and they either approve them or not. In reality, notarization is about building binaries the way Apple likes it.

I don't have anything against notarization as a concept. I specifically don't like the way Apple does notarization. I don't have time to deal with Apple.

Homebrew installation script is configured to automatically delete com.apple.quarantine attribute, that's why the app should work out of the box, without any warnings that "Apple cannot check AeroSpace for malicious software"

Tip of the day

defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true

Now, you can move windows by holding ctrl+cmd and dragging any part of the window (not necessarily the window title)
