Status
Rift is a stable, reliable, and performant window manager used by many. It is still in development and thus new features, optimizations, and general improvements are regularly released, but is more than good enough for daily use.
Issues and PRs are very welcome.

Motivation
Aerospace worked well for me, but I missed animations and the ability to use fullscreen on one display while working on the other. I also prefer leveraging private/undocumented APIs as they tend to be more reliable (due to the OS being built on them and all the public APIs) and performant. for more on why rift exists and what rift strives to do, see the manifesto
Credits
Rift began as a fork (and is licensed as such) of glide-wm but has since diverged significantly. It uses private APIs reverse engineered by yabai and other projects. It is not affiliated with glide-wm or yabai.
