hyprlock is a GPU-accelerated, multi-threaded screen locking utility built for the Hyprland Wayland compositor. It uses the ext-session-lock protocol and supports features like blurred screenshot backgrounds, fingerprint authentication via libfprint, and Hyprland-style visual effects.

Use cases

  • lock my screen on wayland with gpu acceleration
  • screen locker for hyprland
  • lock screen with blurred wallpaper background
  • fingerprint unlock on linux wayland
  • secure session lock using ext-session-lock protocol
  • customizable lock screen with animations and gradients

When to choose

  • you use Hyprland or another Wayland compositor supporting ext-session-lock
  • you want a fast, GPU-accelerated lock screen with visual effects
  • you need fingerprint authentication on your lock screen

When to avoid

  • you are on X11 rather than Wayland
  • you need a lock screen for a non-Wayland desktop environment like GNOME or KDE
  • you want a minimal locker without GPU/animation dependencies
