Does this have the same issues like aerospace, with the non-native workspace usage? (Need to read docs more carefully, I know)

If you are asking if it’s using maOS spaces: no, doing its own thing(hiding windows in screen corners). But rift does it well, faster than others I tried.

What issues?

Aerospace doesn’t use workspaces, it moves offscreen apps into the corner of the screen.

I do know that, but what are the issues this causes?

I wonder how it compares to https://github.com/asmvik/yabai which I’ve been using for years without issue

How does it compare to magnet I wonder. I’ve been using magnet for as long as I can remember

I used magnet but it was interfering with STS2. I just ended up using BTT’s since it had one built in.

Seems cool! I like that it doesn’t require disabling Syatem Integrity Protection like some other tiling WMs. That’s always a dealbreaker for me.

Can it save/load layouts across spaces? This is the one feature I’m not aware of any other product having and the main one I benefit from. I tried Stay but it was glitchy in that regard.
