Features

• Simple, small and extensible. It’s easy to write your own layouts, widgets and commands.

• Configured in Python.

• Runs as an X11 WM or a Wayland compositor.

• Command shell that allows all aspects of Qtile to be managed and inspected.

• Complete remote scriptability - write scripts to set up workspaces, manipulate windows, update status bar widgets and more.
