hypr-helper

An application that listens to the Hyprland UNIX socket for changes and returns chosen properties (example: workspace information, active window name).

Prerequisites

You should be running Hyprland, therefore having hyprctl.

Why

Writing this helped me cut down RAM usage for getting workspace information by almost 600%! (12MB -> 2.4MB) and of course barely any CPU usage.

How to install

You can install this by cargo or building the project yourself

# Using cargo
cargo install hyprland-workspaces

# Cloning and building
git clone https://gitlab.com/hegde-atri/hypr-helper
cd hyprland-workspaces
cargo build --release
