OmniWM is free and has no hidden paywalls, as I promised from the start and I would rather eat ? than go back on that promise. The only official way to sponsor the project is GitHub Sponsors, because paying contributors back honestly needs a ledger. — BarutSRB
OmniWM
OmniWM is a free, open-source, Developer ID-signed and Apple-notarized tiling window manager for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later. It combines Niri-style orientation-aware scrolling containers and Hyprland-style Dwindle BSP layouts, selectable per workspace, with multi-monitor routing and optional local CLI/IPC automation.

Blacksmith.sh
All of OmniWM's CI runs on Blacksmith. On their smallest runners (6 vCPU Mac, 2 vCPU Linux), a full CI run finishes 44% faster than on GitHub-hosted macOS runners, and signed, notarized builds take half the time. Their larger runners, up to 12 vCPU on Mac and 32 on Linux, can go faster still.
