Re:Alan.app – Add a Border to macOS Active Window by Atreiden on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @04:44PM (#46062699)
Always glad to see more software in the window management space, especially for MacOS.

Any reason to use this over JankyBorders? I'm using it alongside Aerospace right now and forget sometimes it isn't built-in. Kind of weird to me that after all this time this is such a sparsely implemented feature. But the combo with Aerospace works well. Only thing missing is support in Aerospace for a toggle to have a window expand to the size of it's container. Really liked that feature in Yabai, made working with multiple tiled terminals really nice

One difference can be seen right away - when moving a window, border made by JankyBorders moves smoothly together with window, unlike with this app.

The implementation is probably different.
