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
