autorandr is a Python CLI tool that auto-detects connected display hardware and applies the matching saved X11 display configuration via xrandr. It can be triggered automatically on monitor hotplug, resume from suspend, or X11 login.
Use cases
- automatically switch monitor layout when docking my laptop
- save and restore xrandr display configurations per monitor setup
- apply correct screen arrangement when connecting an external display
- fix display resolution after waking from suspend
- manage multi-monitor setups on X11 from the command line
When to choose
- you use X11 on Linux and want automatic per-monitor-configuration display profiles
- you need a lightweight script-based tool installable via major distro package managers
- you use advanced xrandr options like --transform or --reflect
When to avoid
- you run Wayland, which xrandr does not control
- you need disper/NVIDIA auto-disper support, which only the legacy bash version offers
