日の入りsetr (hinoirisetr)
hinoirisetr is a lightweight daemon that automatically adjusts your screen's color temperature and gamma based on the time of day. It helps reduce eye strain and improve sleep quality by dimming the screen at night. The daemon supports multiple backends for flexibility and can be controlled at runtime via a Unix socket.
Features
- Automatic Screen Adjustment: Adjusts screen temperature and gamma based on the time of day (e.g., warmer at night, cooler during the day).
- Multiple Backends: Supports various backends for controlling screen
settings:
ddcutilhyprctl(withhyprsunset)waylandxsctacpi
- Runtime Control: Use the CLI utility to enable, disable, toggle, or reload the configuration without restarting the daemon.
- Configuration Reload: Automatically reloads the configuration file when changes are detected.
- Desktop Notifications: Optionally send notifications with the current status.
Backends
hinoirisetr uses backends to apply screen adjustments. You can choose different backends for temperature and gamma control:
- ddcutil: Controls monitor settings via the DDC/CI protocol (useful for external monitors).
- hyprctl: Controls settings in the Hyprland compositor (requires
hyprsunset). - wayland: Adjusts both screen color temperature and gamma.
- xsct: Adjusts both screen color temperature and gamma.
- acpi: Adjusts screen gamma, using native ACPI(laptop monitors)
Select the appropriate backend based on your system and preferences. Ensure the
required binaries are installed and available in your PATH.
Installation
hinoirisetr is written in Rust. To build and install it:
-
Install Rust and Cargo if you haven't already:

Alternatively, if using Nix, you can use the provided flake:
or just try it out temporarily:
Configuration
hinoirisetr uses a TOML configuration file located at:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hinoirisetr.toml(ifXDG_CONFIG_HOMEis set)~/.config/hinoirisetr.toml(otherwise)
If no configuration file is found, the daemon will use default settings and log a warning.
Configuration Options
The configuration file supports the following options:
-
Global Options:
notification_timeout: Timeout in milliseconds for desktop notifications (default: 5000).disable_timeout: Timeout in seconds for disabling adjustments (default: 300).gamma_backend: Backend for gamma control (options:hyprctl,ddcutil,xsct,wayland,acpi,none).temp_backend: Backend for temperature control (options:hyprctl,xsct,wayland,none).
-
Section
[gamma]:day: Gamma percentage for daytime (0–100, default: 100).night: Gamma percentage for nighttime (0–100, default: 95).
-
Section
[temp]:day: Color temperature in Kelvin for daytime (1000–20000, default: 6500).night: Color temperature in Kelvin for nighttime (1000–20000, default: 2500).
-
Section
[time]:sunset_start: Hour (0–23) when sunset starts.sunset_end: Hour (0–23) when sunset ends.sunrise_start: Hour (0–23) when sunrise starts.sunrise_end: Hour (0–23) when sunrise ends.interpolation_temp: Interpolation method for temperature (options:linear,cubic,cubiceaseinout,cosine,exponential).interpolation_gamma: Interpolation method for gamma (same options as above).
Note: The daemon will interpolate settings between day and night during sunrise and sunset periods using the specified interpolation methods.
Example Configuration
= 3000

= "xsct"
[]
= 100
= 90

= "linear"
Usage
Starting the Daemon
To start the daemon, simply run:
It will load the configuration, check for required backends, and start adjusting the screen settings based on the current time.
Runtime Control via Unix Socket / CLI
hinoirisetr listens on a Unix socket at /tmp/hinoirisetr-$USER.sock for
control commands. Available commands include:
- status: Prints the current status (e.g., “dimming - temp: 6500K, gamma: 100%”).
- status_notify: Sends the current status via a desktop notification.
- enable: Enables automatic adjustments.
- disable: Disables automatic adjustments and sets day settings.
- toggle: Toggles between enabled and disabled states.
- enable_temp: Enables temperature adjustments.
- disable_temp: Disables temperature adjustments.
- toggle_temp: Toggles temperature adjustments.
- enable_gamma: Enables gamma adjustments.
- disable_gamma: Disables gamma adjustments.
- toggle_gamma: Toggles gamma adjustments.
- reload: Reloads the configuration file.
To send a command, you can use hinoirisetr iteslf:
Logging
Set the RUST_LOG environment variable to control log verbosity:
trace(only on debug builds)debug(only on debug builds)info(default)warnerror
For example:
RUST_LOG=debug
Dependencies
- Rust and Cargo: Required for building the project.
- Backends: Depending on your configuration, you may need one or more of the
following:
ddcutilhyprctl(fromhyprsunsetfor Hyprland)xsct
- libnotify: Optional, for desktop notifications.
Ensure that the required backends are installed and available in your PATH.
