Could you build this?
No Building a tiling window manager on macOS that keeps System Integrity Protection (SIP) enabled requires low-level macOS system programming and deep familiarity with undocumented Accessibility APIs and SkyLight/CoreGraphics frameworks.
What it would actually take: Built using Swift, Objective-C, or C/Rust interacting directly with the macOS Accessibility (AXUIElement) APIs, CoreGraphics event taps, and private window server connections. The primary hurdle is managing asynchronous window state transitions, multi-display spaces, and menu bar behaviors cleanly without crashing or requiring SIP bypass. Requires deep macOS systems engineering expertise.
