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.

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. This CLI tool will also come with some extra features, such as dynamically updating the gaps

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

Roadmap

• Workspace information
• Active window name
• Resize gaps (increase, decrease and reset)
