You may want to try out the yabai window manager for OS X. Itβs the closest thing to i3 I can think of.

I have used yabai but unfortunately you need to disable SIP so it can inject the Dock.app process with some custom functionality. I forge the specifics but last I checked that had not changed so it was a no go for me.

I use Yabai without disabling SIP. It basically means some of the functionality won't work, but the main tiling stuff still works great. For me, the main feature that won't work without disabling SIP is commands to manipulate spaces and move windows between them, but I've got used to just using one workspace per monitor and hiding/showing windows as needed now anyway.
