If you're on linux, consider trying a tiling wm like i3 [0] or sway (wayland) [1]. New windows automatically place themselves in a nice place and don't overlap.

It's extremely (if not entirely) keyboard driven and pretty configurable. [0]: https://i3wm.org/ https://i3wm.org/ [1]: https://swaywm.org/ https://swaywm.org/

Last time I checked there was no equivalent to these, or any sort of actual tiling manager in MacOS; is this still the case? (For anyone to answer, if you know.)

  Amethyst is pretty good

    I think that was replaced by Rectangle.

      Rectangle and Amethyst are both great, but only Amethyst will auto-tile your windows as you open them, like i3. Rectangle just exposes keybindings to resize the selected window.

  I use Yabai and it works very well. Similar to i3 in how it tiles, and quite customizable.

After using bare WMs for years, I finally settled on i3 inside KDE[0]. Because I found it painful to manage everything myself (polkit, cgroups, ...) plus I already relied on a couple of features from DEs. It's fun for learning purpose, but not so much when you just want things to get out of your way, especially on a laptop 0: https://rmpr.xyz/Frankentile/ https://rmpr.xyz/Frankentile/
