iNiR is a complete desktop shell for the Niri Wayland compositor, built on Quickshell and written in QML. It provides a top bar, dock, sidebars, notifications, settings, wallpapers, overview, lock screen, IPC, and theming in one integrated shell.

Use cases

  • get a full desktop shell for Niri with bar, dock, and notifications
  • rice my Linux desktop with a polished Quickshell-based setup
  • customize my Niri desktop through a GUI or config. instead of editing QML
  • replace Hyprland-style ricing dotfiles with a maintained Niri shell
  • lock screen, overview, and wallpaper management for Niri in one package

When to choose

  • you use the Niri compositor and want a complete, cohesive shell out of the box
  • you want a riced desktop without hand-assembling bar, notification daemon, and launcher yourself
  • you want GUI or JSON-based configuration rather than editing QML source

When to avoid

  • you use a compositor other than Niri or Hyprland
  • you want a minimal setup you compose from individual tools like Waybar and Mako
  • you need a shell for GNOME, KDE, or Windows/macOS
