## Overview
|
|
|
|
`komorebi` is a tiling window manager that works as an extension to Microsoft's
|
|
[Desktop Window
|
|
Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dwm/dwm-overview) in
|
|
Windows 10 and above.
|
|
|
|
`komorebi` allows you to control application windows, virtual workspaces and
|
|
display monitors with a CLI which can be used with third-party software such as
|
|
[AutoHotKey](https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L) to set user-defined
|
|
keyboard shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
`komorebi` aims to make _as few modifications as possible_ to the operating
|
|
system and desktop environment by default. Users are free to make such
|
|
modifications in their own configuration files for `komorebi`, but these will
|
|
always remain opt-in and off-by-default.
|
|
|
|
## Community
|
|
|
|
There is a [Discord server](https://discord.gg/mGkn66PHkx) available for
|
|
`komorebi`-related discussion, help, troubleshooting etc.
|
|
|
|
There is a [YouTube
|
|
channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeai3-do-9O4MNy9_xjO6mg) where I post
|
|
`komorebi` development videos, feature previews and release overviews. Subscribing
|
|
to the channel (which is monetized as part of the YouTube Partner Program) and
|
|
watching videos is a really simple and passive way to contribute financially to
|
|
the development and maintenance of `komorebi`.
|
|
|
|
There is an [Awesome List](https://github.com/LGUG2Z/awesome-komorebi) which
|
|
showcases the many awesome projects that exist in the `komorebi` ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
## Licensing for Personal Use
|

|
of the [PolyForm Strict 1.0.0 license](https://polyformproject.org/licenses/strict/1.0.0). On a high level this means
|
|
that you are free to do whatever you want with `komorebi` for personal use other than redistribution, or distribution of
|
|
new works (i.e. hard-forks) based on the software.
|
|

Anyone is free to make their own fork of `komorebi` with changes intended either for personal use or for integration
|
|
back upstream via pull requests.

|
|
|
## Sponsorship for Personal Use
|
|
|
|
`komorebi` is a free and educational source project, and one that encourages you
|
|
to make charitable donations if you find the software to be useful and have the
|
|
financial means.
|
|
|
|
I encourage you to make a charitable donation to the [Palestine Children's
|
|
Relief Fund](https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/gaza-recovery) or to contribute
|
|
to a [Gaza Funds campaign](https://gazafunds.com) before you consider sponsoring
|
|
me on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
[GitHub Sponsors is enabled for this
|
|
project](https://github.com/sponsors/LGUG2Z). Sponsors can claim custom roles on
|
|
the Discord server, get shout-outs at the end of _komorebi_-related videos on
|
|
YouTube, and gain the ability to submit feature requests on the issue tracker.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to tip or sponsor the project but are unable to use GitHub
|
|
Sponsors, you may also sponsor through [Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/lgug2z), or
|
|
make an anonymous Bitcoin donation to `bc1qv73wzspc77k46uty4vp85x8sdp24mphvm58f6q`.

## Licensing for Commercial Use

|
A dedicated Individual Commercial Use License is available for those who want to
|
|
use `komorebi` at work.
|
|
|
|
The Individual Commerical Use License adds “Commercial Use” as a “Permitted Use”
|
|
for the licensed individual only, for the duration of a valid paid license
