Phoenix

I recently released Phoenix 2.0! I took over the project last summer and rewrote it from the ground up. :) Phoenix is a lightweight OS X window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript. You can also easily use languages which compile to JavaScript such as CoffeeScript. Phoenix aims for efficiency and a very small footprint. If you like the idea of scripting your own window or app management toolkit with JavaScript, Phoenix is probably going to give you the things you want. With Phoenix you can bind keyboard shortcuts and system events, and use these to interact with OS X. Take a look!

Just a quick update. Phoenix 2.1 includes some exiting new features: including support for Spaces, creating timers to achieve delays or timed events and support for running Phoenix completely in the background! We also added some nice additions to the API, made various other improvements and fixed a few annoying bugs.

Phoenix 2.2 is now out! - API is now more stylistic, consistent and flexible - a key–value storage that can be used to store values across reloads and reboots as JSON - run tasks asynchronously and retrieve their status, standard output and standard error - implements support for mouse events - performance improvements

Phoenix 2.3 is now out! - modals have a new improved “vibrant” appearance and are more versatile with the ability to display icons as well as text - callbacks for keys now repeat when the key combination is held down - you can access the current space for a specific screen - a few additions and improvements to the API - a few performance and behavioural related fixes and improvements
