home | xmonad - the tiling window manager that rocks

An Update for our Sponsors—and a Request. It has been a little bit over a year since XMonad version 0.17.0 was released; this was also the time in which we first started looking for funding. On the whole, the number of people who decided to support us has been astounding: thank you! While our expenses are completely transparent, it can be hard to keep up if you’re not directly involved in the project. Hence, we’d like to take this opportunity to summarise what we did in the past year. (2023-03-16)
xmonad and xmonad-contrib 0.17.1 are available. New versions of xmonad and xmonad-contrib have been released. Check out our download page for instructions on where to get them. (2022-09-03)
A new logo for XMonad. In case you’ve missed it: voting for the XMonad logo contest has finished! (2022-01-18)
Report a bug and we’ll squash it for you in the next release.

XMonad is..

tiling: xmonad automates the common task of arranging windows, so you can concentrate on getting stuff done.
minimal: Out of the box, no window decorations, no status bar, no icon dock. just clean lines and efficiency.
stable: Haskell and smart programming practices guarantee a crash-free experience.
extensible: It sports a vibrant extension library, including support for window decorations, status bars, and icon docks.
full of features: core features like per-screen workspaces, true xinerama support and managehooks can’t be found in any other wm.
easy: we work hard to make common configuration tasks one-liners.
friendly: an active, friendly mailing list and IRC channel (#xmonad@irc.libera.chat) are waiting to help you get up and running.
