# ChainYourMac — The Scrolling Window Manager for macOS

> Your windows sit side by side on an endless horizontal strip. Opening a new app never squashes the others — you just scroll. Like PaperWM or Niri, but native to the Mac.

- **Website:** https://chainyourmac.com
- **Download / buy:** https://shabgagan.gumroad.com/l/chainyourmac ($19.99 one-time)
- **Requires:** macOS 13 Ventura or later
- **Stack:** native SwiftUI app + Rust engine (no Electron)

## How it works

1. **Open** — new windows slot in at the edge of the strip. Nothing else moves or resizes.
2. **Scroll** — swipe the trackpad or press a shortcut; the strip glides with 120 fps spring animations.
3. **Flow** — widths you set are widths that stay. Stack windows into columns; each display and each Space keeps its own strip.
