## About

Ribbon is a scrolling window manager for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. It places windows on a horizontal strip, keeping the widths you choose instead of shrinking everything into a tiling grid. New windows open beside the focused one, and each display keeps its own row.

Ribbon runs from the menu bar and supports keyboard shortcuts, three-finger scrolling, stacks, tabs, adjustable widths, and multiple displays. It only requests Accessibility permission, leaves System Integrity Protection enabled, and is notarized by Apple. The app is sold with a one-time payment and includes updates within the purchased major version.
