about

A full-featured, pure-Python tiling window manager.

  • Simple, small and extensible. It's easy to write your own layouts, widgets and commands.
  • Configured in Python.
  • Command shell that allows all aspects of Qtile to be managed and inspected.
  • Complete remote scriptability - write scripts to set up workspaces, manipulate windows, update status bar widgets and more.
  • Qtile's scriptability makes it one of the most thoroughly unit-tested window mangers around.
Although Qtile is usable right now, it's just at the beginning of its development.
