Who builds FAST
FAST is made by 03 Studios, a small independent software studio run by Manuel Thurner in Girlan, South Tyrol, Italy. One product, one person to write to, no support queue.
Three decisions that shaped the app
Local-first, because a window manager has no business on a server
Your Scenes describe your work: which client you have open, which repository, which documents. None of that is interesting enough to sync and all of it is sensitive enough not to. FAST stores everything in portable local JSON you can read, export and import yourself. There is no cloud, no account inside the app and no telemetry. The only network traffic is license activation and periodic validation, and even that is allowed to fail for seven days before it bothers you.
Public APIs only, because your Mac's defences should stay up
FAST uses the public macOS Accessibility API and nothing else. You grant Accessibility permission once, and System Integrity Protection stays fully enabled — no kernel extension, no modified system volume, no reduced-security boot. A tool that arranges windows is not worth lowering your machine's security for, and we would rather do less than ask for that.
Pay once, because a window manager is not a service
FAST costs €29 for one Mac, €39 for two, €49 for three, once, with lifetime updates. Nothing about tiling windows gets more expensive for us every month, so nothing about it should get more expensive for you every month either. Every purchase carries a 14-day money-back guarantee: one email, full refund, no forms.
