Overview

komorebi is a tiling window manager that works as an extension to Microsoft's Desktop Window Manager in Windows 10 and above.

komorebi allows you to control application windows, virtual workspaces and display monitors with a CLI which can be used with third-party software such as AutoHotKey to set user-defined keyboard shortcuts.

komorebi aims to make as few modifications as possible to the operating system and desktop environment by default. Users are free to make such modifications in their own configuration files for komorebi, but these will always remain opt-in and off-by-default.

Community

There is a Discord server available for komorebi-related discussion, help, troubleshooting etc.

There is a YouTube channel where I post komorebi development videos, feature previews and release overviews. Subscribing to the channel (which is monetized as part of the YouTube Partner Program) and watching videos is a really simple and passive way to contribute financially to the development and maintenance of komorebi.

There is an Awesome List which showcases the many awesome projects that exist in the komorebi ecosystem.

Licensing for Personal Use

komorebi is licensed under the Komorebi 1.0.0 license, which is a fork of the PolyForm Strict 1.0.0 license. On a high level this means that you are free to do whatever you want with komorebi for personal use other than redistribution, or distribution of new works (i.e. hard-forks) based on the software.

Anyone is free to make their own fork of komorebi with changes intended either for personal use or for integration back upstream via pull requests.

The Komorebi 1.0.0 License does not permit any kind of commercial use ( i.e. using komorebi at work).

Sponsorship for Personal Use

komorebi is a free and educational source project, and one that encourages you to make charitable donations if you find the software to be useful and have the financial means.

I encourage you to make a charitable donation to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund or to contribute to a Gaza Funds campaign before you consider sponsoring me on GitHub.

GitHub Sponsors is enabled for this project. Sponsors can claim custom roles on the Discord server, get shout-outs at the end of komorebi-related videos on YouTube, and gain the ability to submit feature requests on the issue tracker.

If you would like to tip or sponsor the project but are unable to use GitHub Sponsors, you may also sponsor through Ko-fi, or make an anonymous Bitcoin donation to bc1qv73wzspc77k46uty4vp85x8sdp24mphvm58f6q.

Licensing for Commercial Use

A dedicated Individual Commercial Use License is available for those who want to use komorebi at work.

The Individual Commerical Use License adds “Commercial Use” as a “Permitted Use” for the licensed individual only, for the duration of a valid paid license subscription only. All provisions and restrictions enumerated in the Komorebi License continue to apply.

More information, pricing and purchase links for Individual Commercial Use Licenses can be found here.
