Description
Tessa tiles your windows and gets out of the way. Nine desktops, one keystroke each. Split or master-and-stack per desktop. Independent desktops on every display. It uses only the macOS Accessibility API. No SIP changes, no kernel extensions, no Terminal. Every shortcut, gap and rule is a switch in a settings window, not a line in a config file you have to learn first. The config file exists if you want it. 14-day trial. One-time purchase, two Macs, no subscription.

Could you build this?
Partial A macOS tiling window manager requires native Swift/Objective-C development using low-level Accessibility APIs and window server quirks that AI assistants frequently hallucinate or struggle to debug.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift using macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) and event taps (CGEventTap) without crashing or lagging the OS. The hard part is managing complex multi-display layouts, app-specific accessibility quirks, and handling macOS spaces without private APIs. This demands an experienced macOS systems developer familiar with Cocoa and Core Graphics.
