What is Tilemode?
Tilemode is the keyboard cockpit for your Mac. Turn any website into a real Mac app with its own window, icon, Dock and Cmd-Tab spot, and separate logins. Give any app, web or native, a global hotkey that launches it, focuses it or cycles its windows. Press ⌃⌥ and a number key to snap windows into halves, thirds, 2×2 or main + stack, and save layouts you can recall in one key. If you use an AI coding assistant, Tilemode can teach it its commands, so you just say "make this site an app on ⌥⌘M and tile it left." Tilemode makes no AI calls itself, needs no API key, and the app sends no analytics. Your setup also carries to a new Mac with one command. One-time purchase, every 1.x update free.
Best for: Mac users who live on the keyboard: developers, writers, and anyone juggling lots of apps and web tools.
