Open-source, except for the "new framework used to make Loop's settings window", so don't expect to build from source. https://github.com/MrKai77/Loop/issues/406

I have been a long term Rectangle user on Mac and a WinSplitRevolution for decades on Windows, my biggest preference as a developer is for it to be keyboard centric. I love the use of a numpad as a positional reference for the screen. Hotkey + NumPad 6 = right side of screen full Hotkey + NumPad 5 = full screen Hotkey + Numpad 1 = Bottom left Quarter Repeated presses of these cycle between Half, 3rd and Quarter This…

There's at least Witch and Contexts. https://manytricks.com/witch/ https://contexts.co/
Having tried a lot of them, Contexts is one of the best Window Switcher replacements i could find, have been using it (and Rectangle) for a long time; It’s fast, great quick search abilities, including `fn + [key]` to quick switch (acronym), etc. And it doesn't constantly get updates, it just does its thing and does it well.
If I quit contexts bug goes away for some time, but it returns after a while :(
Sent an email to the creator, but given the update cadence I am not holding my breath for a fix this decade.

Wait, what? Are all windows of an application positioned in the same layer on macOS?
Yeah, when you press ⌘ Tab, you are switching between applications (and ⌘ ` switches between windows of the applications). Super weird IMO.
To me, this makes windows feel like a maze and macos feel natural.
I am a big fan of Divvy ( https://mizage.com/divvy/)—while both dated and paid, it has a wonderful feature of a visual tile map you can use. In all other cases I know, there are a bunch of shortcuts to make a window upper-top or something. But in many cases, it is not enough, as I need fine-grain control.
https://thelasso.app gets close, and adds more features (or visual clutter, imo), but still doesn't feel as quick and efficient to use when setting positions for multiple windows quickly. Divvy can be configured to stay open, and because it's always centered on each monitor, for some reason I can find it better than Lasso that opens where the mouse currently is.
You don't even press the keyboard to start, but you position the mouse over the window's titlebar and just use two-finger swipes. The website's homepage does a better job demonstrating it under a minute.
i just can't wait until i can get tiling like i3 has on linux
stacking, tabbed, infinite auto tiling, all keyboard driven with some mouse support all things i miss on macos :(

As stated in the comment on GitHub, Luminare will only be accessible by sponsors. If you have financial restrictions or are not able to sponsor me, I am open to giving the you the source code. However, this is all in order to make Loop more profitable, as I have put all my free time into making it. I hope you understand :)
