hypridle - Idle daemon for Hyprland

hypridle [-c config_path] [-q|--quiet] [-v|--verbose]

Hypridle is a lightweight and efficient Wayland idle daemon designed for the Hyprland compositor.

It implements the ext-idle-notify-v1 protocol and supports:

DBus loginctl lock/unlock and before-sleep hooks
DBus inhibit interface (used by Firefox, Steam, etc.)

Hypridle should ideally be launched automatically after login. This can be done via your compositor or systemd.

To launch from Hyprland, add the following to your hyprland.conf:

exec-once = hypridle

To run hypridle using systemd:

systemctl --user enable --now hypridle.service

Specify an alternate configuration file. Defaults to: ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/hypr/hypridle.conf
Suppress output.
Enable verbose output for debugging.
