Komorebi is a tiling window manager for Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows 11, written in Rust. A tiling window manager automatically arranges open application windows so they fit together without overlapping, instead of leaving you to drag and resize them by hand. Komorebi sits on top of Windows' built-in Desktop Window Manager rather than replacing it, so it changes how windows are laid out but tries to leave the rest of the operating system untouched. There is a separate sister project called komorebi for Mac for users on macOS. The project is controlled through a command line interface. You drive it by typing CLI commands that move, focus, or resize windows and switch between virtual workspaces on each monitor. Most people pair it with a hotkey daemon such as the author's own whkd, or with AutoHotKey, so that those CLI commands run when keyboard shortcuts are pressed. All configuration lives in user files, and the project keeps optional system tweaks off by default. Documentation is hosted on a dedicated site, with sections covering installation, example configurations, common workflows, a full schema reference, and a CLI reference. Installation can be done with the scoop or winget package managers, or by building from source. The README also links to a quickstart video and an Awesome Komorebi list of community projects built around it. Licensing is unusual. Komorebi is what the author calls educational source software, released under the Komorebi 2.0.0 license, which is a fork of the PolyForm Strict license. Personal use is allowed freely except for redistribution or hard-forks. Commercial use, including using komorebi at work, requires a paid Individual Commercial Use License sold through the author's website. There are special notes for students whose devices are enrolled in mobile device management. There is an active Discord server for support, a YouTube channel with development and feature videos, and GitHub Sponsors and Ko-fi pages. The author asks people to donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund or Gaza Funds before sponsoring him personally.
