The lightweight OS X window manager for hackers
Phoenix is a fork of Zephyros that aims for efficiency and a very small footprint.
- Current version: 1.0
- Requires: OS X 10.9 and up
- Download Phoenix-LATEST.app.tar.gz, unzip, right-click app, choose "Open"
- Or, install via Homebrew Cask -
brew cask install phoenix
Create ~/.phoenix.js. Then add stuff like this in it:
api.bind('E', ['cmd'], function() {
var win = Window.focusedWindow();
var frame = win.frame();
frame.x += 10;
frame.height -= 10;
win.setFrame(frame);
return true;
});- For more ideas, read other people's configs in the wiki.
Note: Phoenix can only be scripted in JavaScript.
- Needs an app icon and status bar icon
- In-app upgrade
