Idea

A lightweight macOS window manager that enables tiling and workspace management without disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP). Targets power users and developers who want tiling window management without the complexity of existing solutions.

Why this is interesting

Apple's Stage Manager experiment showed there's genuine appetite for rethinking macOS window organization, and the Sequoia window tiling feature — while useful — is basic enough to leave power users wanting more. Yabai is the most capable incumbent but requires disabling SIP or accepting degraded functionality, which is a real barrier for developers on managed corporate machines; Mango and Magnet occupy the simpler end but lack serious tiling logic. The $2k–10k/mo revenue band is plausible given that developer-focused utilities like Raycast and Cleanshot have normalized $8–15/mo subscriptions in this audience, though the ceiling is real — this is a solo-license market with no team or seat expansion. The single biggest risk is Apple: every macOS release reshapes the private APIs and accessibility permissions that tiling managers depend on, and one Sequoia-style native feature drop can erase the product's core value proposition overnight.
