Ankylix — Vimium for your Mac windows
Keyboard-driven window manager for macOS
Ankylix brings Vimium-style keyboard hints to macOS window management. A letter appears on every window and zone — press it to jump or tile. Hands never leave the keyboard. 14-day free trial.
This started as an itch I couldn't scratch. I live on the keyboard — Vim, tmux, and Vimium in the browser — and every time I had to reach for the trackpad just to move or focus a window, it broke my flow.
MacOS window managers either make you memorize a directional shortcut for every position, or you're back to dragging with the mouse.
So I stole the one idea from Vimium I love most: link hints. In Vimium, a letter appears on every link and you press it to jump there. Ankylix does that for your windows.
Hit a hotkey → a letter lands on every window and tiling zone → press it, and the window focuses or snaps into place.
Hands never leave the home row.
A few things I care about:
- 🧩 Modal, like Vim — separate modes for switching, tiling, and move/resize (bind it to hjkl). Enter a mode, act, exit. No accidental clicks. - 🖥️ Multi-monitor aware — hints and layouts work on every display; cycle screens from the keyboard. - ⌨️ Everything is rebindable — bring your own muscle memory. - 🪶 Native & private — a real macOS menu-bar app. No Electron, no telemetry, no tracking. Runs entirely locally.
It's a one-time €19 (no subscriptions, ever) with a free 14-day trial — try every feature, no credit card.
I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially on the hint UX and default keybindings — those are the hardest things to get right, and you're exactly the crowd who'll notice. If you live in Vim/tmux/a tiling WM, I think it'll feel like home on day one. Ask me anything! 🙏
