A dynamically tiling X11 window manager that is written and configured in
Haskell.

In a normal WM, you spend half your time aligning and searching for windows.
XMonad makes work easier, by automating this.

WHAT’S NEW?

 * xmonad and xmonad-contrib 0.18.0 are available. New versions of xmonad and
   xmonad-contrib have been released. Check out our download page for
   instructions on where to get them. As this is a major release containing a
   few breaking changes inside of xmonad-contrib, so be sure to check out the
   release notes! For help getting started—or more info—see our website and talk
   to us! If you like what we do, you can support us on Open Collective or via
   GitHub Sponsors. Thanks! (2024-02-03)
 * Wayland. We on the XMonad devteam (Tomáš, Tony, Yecine, and myself) have been
   collecting contributions for the past two years with an eye toward paying
   someone to work on a port of XMonad to Wayland, since none of us is up to the
   task. We think we now have enough contributions coming in monthly to pay for
   someone to work with us on it. (2023-10-06)
 * xmonad 0.17.2 is available. A new version of xmonad has been released. Check
   out our download page for instructions on where to get it. (2023-04-02)

WHY USE XMONAD?

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.
