I'm a very happy user of Amethyst, a tiling WM https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst Makes OSX actually usable.

To replace i3/xMonad on macOS try Amethyst which does tiling pretty well https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst

You can run a tiling window manager like i3 and xmonad on macOS! See: https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst

Alas, does not play nice with the tiling window manager I use ( https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst ) - highly recommended to those who seek tiling WMs.

[Amethyst]( https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst ) is a decent tiling manager for macOS if that's what you're after.

Recent versions of Amethyst https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst have made a pretty much xmonad-like experience on osx. There are a few quirks but I don't see me going back at this point.
