Hypr is a dynamic tiling window manager for Xorg, written in modern C++20 using XCB. It provides tiling and floating windows, workspaces, animations, a built-in status bar, and hot-reloadable configuration.

Use cases

  • tiling window manager for X11 on Linux
  • lightweight Xorg window manager with animations
  • window manager with dwindle and master layouts
  • X11 WM with instant config reload
  • replace my desktop environment with a tiling WM
  • window manager compatible with Polybar and EWMH bars

When to choose

  • you want a tiling window manager on Xorg with animations and rounded corners
  • you prefer a readable, hackable C++ codebase to extend
  • you use X11 and want EWMH/ICCCM compliance with external bars

When to avoid

  • you use Wayland - use Hyprland instead
  • you need a full compositor or desktop environment out of the box
  • you need active development - the project is in maintenance mode
