apphane
apphane — a house drawn with curly braces, windows lit amber. Apps, tools, ideas.

A house for small, sharp tools.

apphane — from Turkish -hane, “house of” — is where our apps, tools, and ideas live. Open source by default, each named in Turkish, each built to do one thing well.

One light is on. More rooms are being furnished.

In the house

nehir

nehir — Turkish for river

Windows flow in columns, scrolling across your screen.

A scrolling tiling window manager for macOS, built on the Niri column paradigm. Columns scroll horizontally instead of shrinking to fit — your windows keep their size, and you move the river.

  • Niri-style scrolling columns
  • Workspaces with hotkey switching
  • Multi-monitor support
  • Overview mode
  • Command palette
  • IPC control via nehirctl
  • Split TOML configuration

Install with Homebrewbrew install --cask guria/tap/nehir

House rules

Open source by default

The code lives in the open, under real licenses. Nehir ships as GPL-2.0-only, and new residents will open their doors too.

Lineage stays visible

Tools built on other people's work say so, file by file. Nehir credits its OmniWM foundation in a NOTICE that tracks the provenance of every source file.

One thing, done well

Each project keeps a deliberately narrow scope. Nehir is one layout model — scrolling columns — not a window manager for every taste.
