hyprdoze

Windows that arrange themselves.

hyprdoze tiles every window the moment it opens, gives you workspaces one keystroke away, and puts a quiet status bar on each monitor. It's fast, it's small, and it doesn't fall over when your monitors sleep.

Built to stay out of your way

It never drops a keystroke

One thread handles every window event, hotkey and command, in order. There's no queue to overflow and nothing to wait on, so focus follows your keys in about two milliseconds.

Layouts you design

Columns that split into rows once there are too many, a lone window at half width, bsp, tall, scrolling. Set it per workspace, and see every change in a live preview before you save.

A bar that's actually a bar

Workspaces with the icons of the apps on them, the focused window, the clock. It reserves its space like the taskbar does, and steps aside for full-screen games.

Sleep, unplug, crash: fine

Monitors are recognised by serial number, so windows go home when a display wakes up. If anything ever goes wrong, every window is put back where you can see it.

Small and quiet

About 16 milliseconds of CPU a minute and 5 MB of memory. It asks Windows for nothing it doesn't need, and never waits on an app that's hung.

Plays nicely with the taskbar

Auto-hide taskbar? When it slides up, windows make room. When it slides away, they take the space back.

The keys

These are the defaults. Every key, layout and rule lives in one plain config file, and the settings window covers the layouts.
