Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Ribbon arranges Mac windows in a horizontal strip that you scroll rather than dividing the screen into shrinking tiles.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-24 issue.

For: Mac users who prefer scrolling window layouts
Worth noticing: Each display and macOS Space gets its own strip; column order and widths are said to return after a restart.

Field notes

The page's demo exposes controls for moving focus, shifting windows, changing width, centering, stacking, and opening tabs. The app is described as keeping a separate strip for each display and Space, restoring column order and widths after restart, and using ⌃⌥ plus a key for commands. Version 0.3 notes also mention native window tabs, floating dialogs, and a clickable strip indicator.
