HyprOSD

A fork of SwayOSD with Hyprlang support and additional features. Heavily WIP (fresh fork) Obviously huge credits to SwayOSD, and I'll try to keep up with their progress. I just forked to make something that's more integrated with Hyprland.

Roadmap

Features:

LibInput listener Backend for these keys:
- Caps Lock
- Num Lock
- Scroll Lock
Input and output volume change indicator
Input and output mute change indicator
Customizable maximum Volume
Capslock change (Note: doesn't change the caps lock state)
Brightness change indicator

Install:

There's a new LibInput watcher binary shipped with SwayOSD (swayosd-libinput-backend) which can automatically detect key presses, so no need for binding key combos. The supported keys are listed above in Features

Through Meson

# Please note that the command below might require `--prefix /usr` on some systems
meson setup build
ninja -C build
meson install -C build

Usage:

HyprOSD LibInput Backend

Using Systemd: sudo systemctl enable --now swayosd-libinput-backend.service

Other users can run: pkexec swayosd-libinput-backend

Start Server

# OSD server
exec-once = swayosd-server

Add Client bindings

# Sink volume raise optionally with --device
bind =, XF86AudioRaiseVolume, exec, swayosd-client --output-volume raise
# Sink volume lower optionally with --device
bind =, XF86AudioLowerVolume, exec,  swayosd-client --output-volume lower --device alsa_output.pci-0000_11_00.4.analog-stereo.monitor
# Sink volume toggle mute
bind =, XF86AudioMute, exec, swayosd-client --output-volume mute-toggle

# Brightness raise
bind=, XF86MonBrightnessUp, exec, swayosd-client --brightness raise
# Brightness lower
