JankyBorders is a lightweight tool designed to add colored borders to user windows on macOS 14.0+. It enhances the user experience by visually highlighting the currently focused window without relying on the accessibility API, thereby being faster than comparable tools.
For a comprehensive overview of all available options and commands, consult the man page: man borders. A rendered version of the man page is available in the Wiki.
You can either configure the appearance directly when starting the borders process (as shown in "Bootstrap with yabai") or use a configuration file. The appearance can be adapted at any point in time.
If the primary borders process is started without any arguments (or launched as a service by brew), it will search for a file at ~/.config/borders/bordersrc and execute it on launch if found.
If a borders process is already running, invoking a new borders instance with any combination of the available options will update the properties of the already running instance.
