Looks like this is going to find a place full-time on my mac and replace Rectangle, only problem being I don't have more menu bar icon space.

#22Rectangle is a nice no-config solution for me.

#23Just having watched the video, the session setup, close, and launch seem tied to the idea of a single window per app. Is that right? What kinds of workflows is this explicitly meant vs. not meant to support?
The way a user switches window sets with backtick and app windows within them with tab is inverted from the usual major and minor shortcuts. Normally you switch apps with tab and windows within them with backtick, or in the case of stage manager, you switch window sets with tab and windows within them with backtick. As a default I think the keys make less sense than they could.

#24I think there is too much customization and options. Maybe having a .*aml/json file would be good. I have a few hammerspoon customization for me to choose and open the applications I have. I put those on different desktop but use this to open applications. Whereas for the tiling itself use either aerospace or Loop.

#25As someone who switched to macos from the hot pile of mess called windows last year, my biggest point of pain was the window management. I use Rectangle Pro, and it helps a lot, but IMHO workspace integration is poor still. I'll give this one a try. BTW, if this works, can you please consider asking money for it? Keep it open source but perhaps add a friction-less support channel (read: not github issues) for paying…
There is AltTab[0] (free and open-source) also, to get a windows-ish windows management on macOS.

#26I have a really wide screen (52') and all these window managment apps fails for me at the point that I only can divide the screen in thirds or halfs. Thirds for three apps is too small, halfes to large. I need custom areas like 3/7, 3/7, 1/7. The only app which i found which this offers is 1piece

#27Is there any app switcher that doesn't need manual reload of configuration each time you open a new app so that it sees it?

Divvy handles this very well. It's been my go-to for like fifteen years: https://mizage.com/divvy/
